What did we learn today? That Jack Smith is a Caitlin Clack fan and that Senator Eric Schmitt is a dirtbag! The senator mistook the Atlanta Hawks for the Iowa Hawkeyes and tried to accuse Jack Smith of perjury. Epic fail. I'm still a fan of Jack Smith. A real American patriot. 🇺🇸

Our government is currently being run by an organized crime syndicate. You knew that. As of now, deportations are allowed while the SCOTUS deliberates on how horrific they can make life for immigrants & their families. They’re ok with bringing in other countries to help with the torture #Pinks

Supreme Court lets Trump continue deporting people to 3rd countries while justices consider policy
Under a series of often-secret agreements, the Trump administration has deported some 25,000 people to more than two dozen countries, including Liberia and Guyana.
