Special Counsel Jack Smith is about to testify publicly before the Senate Judiciary Committee. As a young lawyer, I became well aware of Mr. Smith’s professional accomplishments and legal acumen before he was appointed Special Counsel. The man is a true patriot.

Russia occupies Oleshky. Around 2,000 civilians remain and run out of food, medicine, water and electricity. Russia, as the occupying power, is responsible for facilitating humanitarian relief. Ukraine found another way in: its forces delivered ~4 tons of food by drone to 100 locations across town.

The Supreme Court’s willingness to use the 14th Amendment to emancipate white people from Black elected officials—but not to help Black people elect officials—signals its fundamentally racist priorities.
