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."

At a time when the most influential leaders of the U.S. need to stand up loudly and clearly for the rule of law, they are leading the charge in the opposite direction. But not Jack Smith. Kudos to him for continuing to be a much needed voice of clarity.

Today I learned that Jack Smith is a Caitlin Clark fan and that Amy Klobuchar knows more about sports than Eric Schmitt.

Before calling someone a “dirtbag,” the Senator should have had his facts straight. An apology is in order. Glad one of us knew the difference between the Atlanta Hawks and the Iowa Hawkeyes!

“When food prices go up because farm workers go missing, that’s the ICE Tax. When construction grinds to a halt because no one is left to build homes, that’s the ICE Tax. When our elders can’t get the care they deserve because their caretakers and nurses are gone, that’s the ICE Tax.” #EndtheICETax

Even if a federal prosecutor was watching the Atlanta Hawks and not the Iowa Hawkeyes, I still think crime should be treated as illegal, and coup attempts should be treated as bad.

The Guardian: survivors allege girls as young as 15 were exploited in a group Trump's FCC chair belonged to for years. Carr denies knowing. Ask GOP senators if that's good enough for a man regulating your family's airwaves. Silence keeps him there. #TrumpsCorruptCongress #USDemocracy #Voices4Victory

This coin is illegal. The laws of our Congress specifically ban coinage depicting a living president (31 U.S. Code § 5112). What better metaphor could there be for the numb shattering of our constitutional order, than a $1 coin being sold to the American people for $10?

They grabbed a Georgetown professor off the sidewalk and called it Hamas. Their own vetting file came back clean. He’s home. He testified. We have the memo.

Trump Had Nothing On A Professor. He Sent Masked Agents Anyway—and Lost.
The State Department’s own memo admits it. Also: seven federal judges break their silence, a voter-data grab gets thrown out for the 24th time, and a billionaire sues Congress rather than testify

For around 15 hours, immigration detention officers kept Raúl Suárez Herrero confined in a cage slightly larger than a phone booth, where he feared snakes and endured mosquitoes in the middle of Florida swampland, the former detainee alleges.

Former ‘Alligator Alcatraz’ detainee says he was placed in phone booth-sized cage for 15 hours
A Homeland Security watchdog confirmed the use of small cages at the now-shuttered immigrant detention center. Facility records say detainees were kept in them for under two hours.
