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."

If you worked this little, you wouldn’t keep your job. The GOP-controlled House is scheduled to be in DC just 104 days this year. Through Sept. 16, only 21 days even ran 8+ hours — and that includes long recesses. Americans deserve a Congress that actually shows up and does the job.

Biden checks his watch at a ceremony and Fox does nonstop segments on it for weeks. But Trump falls asleep repeatedly at the 9/11 ceremony and they won’t even show it. But national broadcast news networks won’t show it either because that would be impolite.

He continues to avoid DUI convictions even though he has driven DUI many times with multiple serious crashes. Must be nice to be able to avoid accountability, which enables you to continue doing it over and over again. Hopefully he won’t hurt someone else at some point.
