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."

I wonder whether this is the moment when it will dawn on Sen. Schmitt that his own party was the party of dirtbags, lying, and perjury all along... Probably not 🤷‍♀️

Sen. SCHMITT: We have texts saying you attended an Atlanta Hawks game in February 2024. Former Special Counsel Jack Smith: I believe it was a Maryland-Iowa game. Sen. KLOBUCHAR: The Iowa HAWKeyes. Perhaps the Senator from Missouri should have looked at these texts more carefully.

Israel wiped Gaza from the face of the earth.  Everyone knew exactly what they were doing!  A crime more confessed to as it happened than any other in history. A crime more documented as it happened than any other in history. There are no excuses. None at all

“We have a cult of radicalized billionaires who believe it is their destiny to rule the 21st century…They know our system is for sale…not only in San Francisco but in Washington.” Read @esksf.bsky.social on how tech oligarchs bought San Francisco. missionlocal.org/2026/09/san-...

San Francisco's wealthiest have unprecedented control of city politics
Our city fathers (if you like them) or oligarchs (if you don’t) have never been richer, more brazen or faced weaker opposition

DoorDash Spent $1.4 Million Trying to Stop Mamdani From Becoming Mayor. Now We Know Why.
In a wage-theft settlement, DoorDash now has to pay its workers around 100 times what it spent trying to beat Zohran Mamdani.

Russia doesn't need to fire a shot to cause damage in the UK - all it needs is bots and some gullible, angry Brits.

Dan Sullivan says cost diesel cost is “just too damn high.” Weird,since he voted 12 times to keep the war going that’s spiking it. Valdez is paying $6.75/gall for his math homework. Alaska doesn’t need his sudden concern,it needs him gone. Vote Peltola #BlueWaveIn40Days #USDemocracy #Voices4Victory
