Jack Smith is professional, admirable and unflappable. His motivations are unimpeachable. His adherence to the Rule of Law is steadfast and refreshing. He has zero political rhetoric. He shows no personal or professional sensitivity. He communicates accurately. He would be an ideal attorney general.

Trump officially rolled back fuel efficiency standards today. The new target for 2031 is about 34.5 miles per gallon, down from 50.4. That means more gas burned, more pollution, and more money out of drivers’ pockets. So much for making things affordable.
