SEN. WARREN: "They cut taxes and they always say ‘it's really going to pay off for you’ — every time academics come back say ‘What really happened is the richest people got richer and everybody else got left behind.’.. this is the 20.0 version of this.” (H/T @atrupar.com )

Jack Smith made it crystal clear that his investigation was sound and lawful, that the president had committed crimes and that the GOP attacks on him were the actual weaponization of our justice system. He showed courage and moral clarity and continues to be one of the heroes of this moment.

The lede is like something a soldier might have written decades after storming Omaha Beach, and having lived long enough to tell his grandchildren about how he somehow survived that fateful day.
For years, the first thing I did upon awakening was check Twitter to see if I had been canceled. After a quick name search to ensure that there was only the usual amount of frothing denunciation, I could get on with my day.
