Jack Smith: "Our investigation developed proof beyond a reasonable doubt that President Trump engaged in serious crimes against our nation ... rather than accept his defeat in the 2020 election, he engaged in a criminal scheme to overturn the results and prevent the lawful transfer of power"

Humanities got me, a biologist, through a 12-day jail sentence. There are lots of literary and historical protagonists in jail cells to identify with. Also it helps to have some poems memorized for this very situation.

Long after Trump is gone from office as the most despised, unpopular, and disastrous president in US history, the stink of Trump will remain forever on Republican politicians and appointees who backed him every step of the way, even when they try to claim they were independent.

As Health Director for Wayne County, we put vending machines with free Narcan and fentanyl test strips in 100 locations. We hoped to make even a small dent in offsetting the opioid epidemic that Mike Rogers made even worse by voting with the pharmaceutical industry his entire career in Congress.

I’m not so sure Republicans are going to agree that a president has the authority to do all the things that Trump is doing when a Democrat is in the WH. Just a hunch.

Why do people only supposedly get the $5,000 if Republicans win in November? Republicans control everything and have for 2 years. Why didn’t they do it before? Why don’t they come back into session tomorrow and pass it right now? Because it’s all a lie, like everything else.

If the world wasn't burning to ash, this aspect of climate change--revealing the past, the bones in riverbeds, the inscriptions on rocks, "ghost gardens"--would be really cool. As it stands, it feels like a bad omen.
Post from House and Garden Magazine reading "the heatwave is revealing centuries-old ghost gardens at our favorite stately homes." With a photograph of a drought-scorched garden with the remains of old paths and walls visible beneath the dying grass.

There’s no way Trump could have won his frivolous lawsuit against the IRS in court. There’s no way the J6 criminals and conspirators could have won any lawsuits in court. But they didn’t have to, because Trump installed his criminal defense lawyer to steal our money for them.
