The renewed political smear campaign against Jack Smith comes as GOP faces massive losses in midterms. It is a distraction and a lie. Smith did his job as a prosecutor — investigated the facts, found evidence of crimes that could be proved beyond a reasonable doubt, and filed charges.

Trump said his GOP convention beat the NFL. Nielsen says the Seahawks-Patriots opener drew 25.1 million viewers. Trump’s speech drew about 3.3 million across three networks. Claiming victory after losing by roughly 21.8 million people takes a special kind of self delusion.

Trump is selling nuclear tech to Saudi Arabia despite reported US intelligence that the Saudis still want a bomb—while the Trumps have taken billions in bribes from the Saudis. This is Trump corruption at the expense of US national security. Stop the deal.

Kennedy: "I don't think any public official, including Trump or Noem or John Kennedy, should spend public money on private ads for themselves ... I may end up with a sombrero on my head, but I also think we ought to have a rule that no politician can have a building named after him when he's alive"

They hate the Bill of Rights because freedom is a threat to people in government who want to hide the truth about what they are doing from the American people. So they behave like tyrants because that is what they are. Vote this party out of power.

Trump's assault on the Kennedy Center is exactly as if he tried to add his name to the Washington Monument or the Jefferson or Lincoln Memorials or any gravestone at Arlington. Our worst president--in the running to be seen as the worst American ever--is trying to steal the glory of our heroes.

Illinois enacted the strongest artificial intelligence safety and accountability bill in the nation. We need to take the threat that AI poses seriously, not just state by state, but on a federal level. The stakes are too high to sit around and do nothing — it’s time to act now.

Police use reverse warrants to demand the identity of everyone who used a search engine to look up a particular word or phrase — without any evidence they've done anything wrong. Delaware's ban on these dragnets should be celebrated and replicated across the country.

Jon Husted’s staffer took part in “Nazi military exercises” & had a “Tales from Rhodesia” Spotify playlist. The fact that significant swathes of the media ignore the multiple major Republican campaign staffers outed as Neo-Nazis (to focus on Hasan Piker instead) is journalistic malpractice.

Today's numbers show inflation remains objectively worse than it was when Republicans took over. This is a direct result of Trump and the GOP's decisions - the Iran War, the tariffs, the corporate tax giveaways. Time for a change.

If the money Trump claims to pay is tied to an election result, it isn’t a “cash payment” or “dividend” or “rebate” or “stimulus.” It is a bribe. Plain and simple. Calling it anything else accepts a false premise and helps Trump and Republicans cover up how corrupt it truly is.
