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.

You know that scene in The Godfather where Michael goes to the trattoria bathroom, retrieves a pistol, and shoots those 2 guys in the head? This is 100X better. Maybe more.

Trump’s administration will finalize sharply LOWER fuel-economy standards for cars through 2031. Officials say cars will cost less, while acknowledging they’ll burn more fuel. During record fuel prices. Timing this exquisite usually requires professional training. #FuelEconomy

I’m not seeing enough love for Bryson Stott. Mattingly moved him up in the order and he delivered in the first inning with a double, driving in Schwab’s for 1-0 lead. That was huge momentum builder. #Phillies

Please stop overestimating what a democratic Congress can do. The oligarchs are spending money to make you think a Dem Congress can arrest people and hold trials and pass laws without a POTUS signature so that you’ll be disappointed when they don’t do stuff they can’t do. Don’t fall for it.

Although I think they should have known better and not gotten involved in a one-off paid appearance. There is a vast difference between the involvement of BG, the other Eagles and Tebow, who has headlined this scam for 3 years.
