MAGA instantly regretted calling Jack Smith to testify as he reaffirmed Trump’s 100% guilt: SMITH SAID: "The evidence established…Trump engaged in a criminal scheme to overturn the 2024 results…and illegally kept classified documents…in a bathroom." O. M. G. ! #TrumpCHEATED

I went on @npr.org's 1A alongside the great @anneapplebaum.wsocial.eu to talk about how corruption has rotted American foreign policy, fueled imperialism from Greenland to Ukraine, and sold American policy—and even American national security—to the highest bidder.
