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.

Multibillion-dollar schemes like A7 are much easier when the United States simply gives up on countering Russian sanctions evasion. The Kremlin agent gloating in this story could show a bit more humility. www.nytimes.com/2026/09/24/b...
During the Biden administration, the Treasury Department made cracking down on sanctions evasion a centerpiece of its effort to punish Russia. The department imposed thousands of additional sanctions, targeting companies and networks designed to move money around financial restrictions.

The pressure has largely disappeared. Since President Trump returned to office, the administration has removed more restrictions than it has added, according to a Times analysis of Treasury data.

That has made it harder for banks to screen for illicit activity, in part because new actors and organizations can spring up without fresh information. A7 shell companies, for example, have facilitated payments to companies that banked at major American and European banks, The Times found.

There was a moment when the US was taken over by enemies and criminals, the incompetent, the corrupt, and the malevolent. They control our government now and will use every means at their disposal, legal and illegal, to try to stop the rest of us from restoring law, order, and decency to US society.

There really is this rash of very weird GOP defenses. Like when Paxton said the guy didn’t do one day in prison. That’s a lie! I put him in for a hard 60 days! Or Marshall saying he didnt get the pregnant woman arrested for late bill. It was for not showing up for the lawsuit over the late bill!

Another way of making this point: The wheels may be coming off the Trump administration and the authoritarian movement energizing it. But a large tractor-trailer barreling down a highway at full speed whose wheels come loose is very dangerous to innocent people in the vicinity.

Trump thinks that because he's changed the name of AI, now all concerns expressed about it previously are a hoax. The illogic is breathtaking. (Note that in this clip he's also lying about economic growth.)

Asked how he'd convince undecided voters to vote for him, Paxton says, "Don't listen to the rhetoric, look at the record. It's people's behavior that you need to look at and say, 'Are they for real?'" Paxton has faced 2 felony indictments and was impeached by his own party.
