Jack Smith is calling for the House Judiciary Committee to release the recording of his full closed-door deposition before the panel. "Doing so will ensure that the American people can hear the facts directly from Mr. Smith, rather than through second-hand accounts."

This is priceless. Check out how local news is reporting on Sen Eric Schmidt’s clown-show grilling of Jack Smith. They found Jack Smith at the game… “Top corner, section 109, row 1. In fact, that seat doesn’t even exist in Atlanta.”

Canadian automakers have developed an EV car that can travel 500+ km on a single charge, shows snow covered lane lines on your windshield on snowy highways, and heatmaps animals on the side of the road so you have a warning about deer and moose at night. This is for us. BRING IT TO MARKET!! 😍❤️🍁

What did we learn today? That Jack Smith is a Caitlin Clack fan and that Senator Eric Schmitt is a dirtbag! The senator mistook the Atlanta Hawks for the Iowa Hawkeyes and tried to accuse Jack Smith of perjury. Epic fail. I'm still a fan of Jack Smith. A real American patriot. 🇺🇸

Jack Smith says he stands by his decision to bring charges against Trump in the classified documents case. "If asked whether to prosecute a former President based on the same facts today, I would do so regardless of whether that President was a Republican or a Democrat."

Klobuchar: “For a US senator to have false information and imply, based on a confusion about the name of a team … and imply that you were in another city, that you were somehow involved that day in what was happening in Georgia, and then call you a dirtbag, is something that deserves an apology.”

Call me a prude, but I’m beyond tired of words like “dirtbag” being used in Congress. Or Patel’s insulting “You hard of hearing?” to Senator Welch at another Committee hearing. How many of us could survive rhetoric like that where we work?

Trump now says the Kennedy Center could be deadly. Months ago, it was ‘great.’
The president’s assessment of the Kennedy Center’s physical condition grew increasingly dire after his name went up on the building and revenue began to plunge.

Trump’s decompensating because of failures on multiple fronts. Not one campaign promise has come to fruition. He can't even renovate successfully, even though building is his supposed expertise. 

Trump is so grandiose that he believes he can change reality just by saying it.

If you worked this little, you wouldn’t keep your job. The GOP-controlled House is scheduled to be in DC just 104 days this year. Through Sept. 16, only 21 days even ran 8+ hours — and that includes long recesses. Americans deserve a Congress that actually shows up and does the job.

Today would’ve been my father’s 95th birthday. In search of a better life, he came to America with only $2.43 and a Korean-English dictionary. He had no friends or family here. Like many immigrants, he dreamt of the promise of what this country could offer. Each day I work to honor his memory.

Samuel Alito flew flags used by insurrectionists. Clarence Thomas' wife plotted to overturn the 2020 election. Both justices refused to recuse themselves from SCOTUS cases related to the Jan 6 plot. Both ruled in favor of Trump's mail-in ballot sabotage. I don't think I'll ever get over this.
