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."

I literally don’t know a single woman who hasn’t been raped, stalked, groped, harassed, or sexually violated in some way at some point in their life. If you choose to doubt and dox survivors, just know every woman in your life is disgusted by you.

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.

We have completely lost the plot in America, when seven men can drug and gang rape a woman who was in no condition to give consent and so much of the concern is for the “men’s” futures. There needs to he a reckoning when it comes to male-first framing and societal expectations.

Here’s the most incredible story you’ll read today. A small plane with four people aboard crashes in a field. Another pilot witnesses it. That pilot happens to be flying a bunch of skydivers. They offer to jump to assist, are given permission. The skydivers happen to be EMTs. Everyone survives.

Skydivers alert emergency crews, assist after plane crashes near East Troy airport
Four people were aboard the single-engine plane when it went down in a cornfield near Carvers School Road in East Troy at about 1:30 p.m.

The White House calls them educational, patriotic public service announcements and points out that they name no candidate and no race. I call it blatant propaganda and you should too. www.uncensoredobjection.com/p/trumps-ill...

Trump's Illegal Propaganda Runs on Your Dime. Nobody in Power Will Stop It.
Federal law has banned taxpayer-funded propaganda for 75 years. The White House is airing it anyway, weeks before the midterms, and the people who could stop it are silent.

Trump & his DOJ are working hard to block any investigation of all their corruption, now & in the future. They're ignoring FOIA requests (despite the 1966 law) & now trying to overturn the 1978 Presidential Records Act that prohibits destruction or seizing of records. share.google/eMjQZ73aBDBY...

Trump promised transparency. His administration keeps finding new ways to hide records.
"The most transparent president in history" keeps chipping away at laws like FOIA meant to keep the government honest.

Trump is unable to govern. So like a mob boss, he hands out cash instead. Republicans slashed Obamacare subsidies which meant: millions lost health insurance; millions have copays of $2000+; premiums are $800 higher. But $500 to the wealthiest on ACA fixes it all. Putz! share.google/cbvqa6HuDK6k...

Trump announces $500 Obamacare refunds for nearly 1 million people — here's who qualifies
Health policy experts said the refunds are unlikely to defray steep premium increases following the lapse of enhanced ACA subsidies.

Macklemore can sue Robert Kraft for Tortious Interference for economic harm and I hope he does. Discovery would be fun: "Which other stadium owners did you talk to?" and "We need all related emails, text messages and contracts between you and them and you and Sheeran and Sheeran's team."

We REALLY REALLY REALLY need to create and enforce laws that require TRUTH on TV and Radio. (honestly, everywhere, but I see those areas as the only enforceable ones right now) TV ads, especially political ones, that tell baldface lies. Things that are easy to fact check (but people don't).

Agreed. This is a well written piece. There are some things we cannot do just because “we always have”. We must be thoughtful and reevaluate our world as it changes. Not the way the orange overlord has, making our best friends into suspected hostile trade partners, but with sincerity and honesty
