I first started working in the Senate in 1970–56 years ago. I have loved and revered the institution, worked in it and with it over all these decades, with dozens of senators from both parties. I’ve seen bad stuff and bad people along with great ones. Nothing quite compares to Eric Schmitt. 1

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.

Not content with the $2 billion he made last year and the $400 million in his super PAC, Trump is using your money to run pro-MAGA ads before the midterms. www.nytimes.com/2026/09/27/u...

Trump’s 2024 ‘Final Battle’ Ad Returns, Funded by Public Money (Gift Article)
The ad, which ethics experts said could violate federal law, shows Mr. Trump vowing to “expel the warmongers” from the government and fight the “deep state,” even as he wages a war with Iran.

Congress can’t indict people. They can have hearings and impeachment trials. But not criminal trials. Please don’t expect criminal trials and then blame democrats when you don’t get them. Midterms are step one. We have to win in 2028 and add seats to SCOTUS to hold people criminally accountable.

Trump‘s cash gifts to government employees, violate ethics rules, which exist to promote loyalty to the United States over loyalty to one person. He doesn’t get to break the law just because cash bonuses were “his longtime practice” in the private sector. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...
washingtonpost.com
Trump gave $45,000 cash gifts to Natalie Harp, two other close aides
Financial disclosures show the sums were equivalent to nearly one-third of each of their salaries. Experts say the gifts are without precedent and may violate the law.

The challenge as I see it: 1) making sure the election isn’t stolen; 2) cementing this unpopularity not as a unique Trump feature, but as an intrinsic part of the Republican brand. Republicans must be made equal to failure, corruption, incompetence, cruelty, and authoritarianism in the public mind.
