"I never did give 'em hell...I just told 'em the truth, and they thought it was hell" --Truman Horseshoes belong in the fire to be reforged as something useful -- not in politics. W.T. Sherman was right, and stopped way too soon.

Donald Trump committed "serious crimes" that were "beyond reasonable doubt" according to testimony by former special council Jack Smith during testimony to Congress. We rate that claim as "WTF can anyone possibly say otherwise"

The former special counsel testified before the Senate Judiciary Committee, where GOP members of the committee have accused him of “abuse of authority.”

Today Senator Blackburn is expected to try ramming KOSA--the Kids Online Safety Act--through the Senate via unanimous consent. KOSA was an Internet censorship bill in its inception, and in 4 years the only thing its authors have done is try to disguise KOSA's nature rather than fix it.
