Jack Smith: "History teaches that the rule of law is rarely destroyed all at once. It's often weakened by attacks on the institutions and the public servants sworn to uphold it. Since January 2025, we have witnessed precisely such an effort."

This. It has always been this. A sitting American president did this. And because he did this, he should have been convicted and put behind bars. And the fact that we never held him accountable for these crimes will forever stain this country. And we may never recover from it.👇

Qatar has said Hamas told Israel they would give them all the hostages on October 8th in return for no invasion. Israel refused, 38 more of the Israeli Hostages died, killed by Israel's own actions. They could all have lived.

Gone are the mass raids and militarized metro operations. Gone are the pomp and pageantry. But ICE arrests have hit record levels. ICE operations are no longer concentrated in large American cities. Immigration enforcement officials are also working in suburban and rural areas, all across the US.

After Joe Biden's poor debate performance in 2024, people & reporters were aghast at how the White House covered up his mental decline. If reporters felt deceived, you think they would be more vigilant about reporting Trump's mental decline instead of sane washing his idiocy.
