Jack Smith: "History teaches that the rule of law is rarely destroyed all at once. It's often weakened by attacks on the institutions and the public servants sworn to uphold it. Since January 2025, we have witnessed precisely such an effort."

Agriculture isn’t a campaign prop to me. It’s my life. I grew up baling hay, mending fences, and working livestock on my family’s ranch. Texas law requires real agricultural experience for a reason. Texans deserve answers about whether Data Nate meets those requirements.
Press release graphic from Clayton Tucker for Texas Agriculture Commissioner over a photo of a rural barn. The graphic quotes Tucker saying Texans deserve an Agriculture Commissioner who meets Texas law’s requirements, describing his experience working on his family’s ranch, and arguing that Nate Sheets likely does not meet the legal qualifications for the office based on his agricultural experience. It concludes: “Texas law is clear: the Commissioner who oversees Texas Agriculture should be of, by, and for those who are actually in the industry.”

It's inconceivable to me how someone who lost in a free & fair election can incite an angry mob to attack his own government, (the very definition of treason) & be allowed to run for any office ever again.

Sen. Eric Schmitt was so overzealous to try and get Jack Smith, a good and honest man who has done great work, that Schmitt embarrassed himself by accusing Smith of going to the wrong basketball game. You can't make this stuff up. And right wing media will pretend it never happened.

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.”

WSJ Exclusive: The Trump admin used federal funds from the Department of Homeland Security to finance those controversial pro-Trump ads that started airing on TV. The taxpayer money used to fund the ads came from U.S. Customs and Border Protection.

Exclusive | Homeland Security Money Financed Pro-Trump Television Ads
White House calls the spots public-service ads, but critics argue using taxpayer money for campaign-like messaging may violate federal law.

Trump's UN Bluster Didn't Impress Xi, Putin or Iran
Donald Trump loves playing the tough guy. The president postured from the podium at the United Nations this week. He threatened to send the Iranian regime “into hell”; he gloated about his appropriation of Venezuelan oil, declaring, “to the victor belong the spoils.”

On this day in 1994, the Clinton administration's heathcare reform plan was declared "dead" by Congress. Over 30 years later, the US is still the only industrialized country without universal healthcare. This should be a national outrage.

The Pentagon has failed its audits for eight consecutive years, unable to account for trillions in assets. In its most recent audit, it could not account for $4.65 trillion in assets. Yet, our corrupt Congress keeps handing it $1 trillion+/yr. while slashing social programs that do pass audit.

Very productive meeting with President Xi for both the U.S.A. and China. Tremendous things will be happening. Like almost everyone else, he seemed to like calling the poorly and inaccurately named Artificial Intelligence to a far more accurate and important name, SUPER INTELLIGENCE. That would be “SUPER!” Everyone last night agreed, also. President DJT
