Smith: Again, and I think all of us, if we're reasonable, know that there's going to be more crimes committed by these people in the future. I do not understand why you would mass pardon people who assaulted police officers. I don't get it. I never will.

Q: Did you uncover evidence to prove Trump knew his claim the election was stolen was false?
SMITH: Yes
Q: And Trump claimed it was stolen while he privately acknowledged he lost?
SMITH: Yes
Q: Yet on the 5th anniversary of J6, Trump still promoted the stolen election theory on a govt webpage

Jack Smith looked Jim Jordan in the eye and said the evidence showed Trump “willfully broke” the law—and he’d do it again.
The cases didn’t die because the facts changed. They died because power protects itself.

This new whistleblower report is on par with the Zelensky call - not just because it’s violative of law - but because they also tried to keep people from seeing it. I’ve been doing this for a long time and this is absolutely explosive news. Impeachable and criminal. Swift accountability must follow.

The European Parliament suspended the approval of a key US trade deal agreed in July in protest against Trump's demand to take over Greenland. Shortly afterward, Trump backed down.
This proves that the best way to handle bullies like Trump is to stand up to them.

The biggest obstacle we face as a society in getting people to accept reality about Trump is that it requires people to face reality about themselves and about ourselves as a society.

ICE is morphing into Trump’s secret police force before our eyes
The agency is shunning norms of law enforcement and becoming a militarized wing of Trump's political agenda — and it's going to get worse.
