Republicans in Congress got hours of free airtime in front of the American people. They spent it stating false facts as true and calling Jack Smith a dirtbag and a villain. Here's all you need to know, under oath.

Proud to stand with the clinicians confronting Pennsylvania’s escalating measles outbreak. While federal rhetoric shifts attention elsewhere, they are caring for the patients living with the consequences. Their voices, their stories, and the suffering they’re witnessing deserve the spotlight.

Mike Johnson says opposition to data centers is a Chinese conspiracy. Huh? Meanwhile, 61% of Americans oppose building a new data center in their own area.

At a time when the most influential leaders of the U.S. need to stand up loudly and clearly for the rule of law, they are leading the charge in the opposite direction. But not Jack Smith. Kudos to him for continuing to be a much needed voice of clarity.

One thing is clear: elected Republicans are STILL all in on defending January 6th as nothing more than a “spirited debate.” One can safely assume that means they will also be in support of the NEXT insurrection. These MFers MUST be held accountable on November 3rd, 2026.

What did we learn today? That Jack Smith is a Caitlin Clack fan and that Senator Eric Schmitt is a dirtbag! The senator mistook the Atlanta Hawks for the Iowa Hawkeyes and tried to accuse Jack Smith of perjury. Epic fail. I'm still a fan of Jack Smith. A real American patriot. 🇺🇸
