Let's amplify this statement by Jack Smith in his testimony under oath to the Senate: "Our investigation developed proof beyond a reasonable doubt that President Trump engaged in serious crimes against our nation." Despite GOP shenanigans, it's still the part we should focus on.

The Trump admin spent over $300,000 in taxpayer dollars on a recent ad where he says it's our "final battle" and promises to “demolish the deep state," "rout the fake news media" and drive out political enemies. That's concerning and likely illegal.

A lie does not become truth because millions believe it. Wrong does not become right because the majority accepts it. And evil does not become good because enough people choose to look the other way. The masses can make evil normal. It can never make it right.

Cost of extending ACA subsidies: $30 billion/year Cost of Trump's Iran War: $43 billion in roughly seven months (and that's a low estimate) It's not a question of what we can afford. It's a question of priorities.

The SNAP stuff was the part that they allowed to take effect before the midterms. That gives you a sense of just how awful the Medicaid stuff they are holding until after the midterms will be.

KARL: Do you support Trump banning news organizations because he doesn't like what they're reporting? SCALISE: Look, Biden removed the press credentials from 400 agencies KARL: That's not true. 400 reporters who had credentials didn't reapply. They weren't banned from the WH. That did not happen.

If Democrats want to regain working people, they must disavow Big Money. They must hammer economic populism — and have a laser focus on the cost of living crisis in America. There’s no way the party can speak for or represent the working class in America if it's beholden to corporate interests.

You might have missed last night Trump discussed the Strait of Hormuz, said it should be called the Trump Strait. And because everything is just an opportunity to feed his sick ego, he then said, "I should get something out of it." Tens of thousands of dead humans, but Trump wants to reward himself.
