Grandma! Mom! Sister! Auntie! Politics wonk, feminist from WAY BACK! Was an expat for 30+ yrs. Lived in 11 countries & have travelled the world for 35 yrs. NO UNSOLICITED DMs, please.

Schiff is up. Apologizes to Jack Smith. “My colleagues have attacked you, but NONE of them have tried to deny what happened on January 6th. They attack you because they don’t want to address the facts. The Barr DoJ sought toll records without a peep from my colleagues.” 1/

Trump White House misspells “United” on the official “super intelligence” document with AI executives. Instead of “President of the United States,” it reads: “President of the Unites States.” Nothing says “super intelligence” quite like misspelling the name of the country.

Screenshot of a Truth Social post from Donald J. Trump’s verified @realDonaldTrump account displaying a signed document titled “Joint Commitment on Frontier Responsibilities.” The document outlines voluntary AI safety and oversight commitments for companies developing frontier artificial intelligence models. On the right side are signatures and company labels for leaders including Sundar Pichai of Google, Dario Amodei of Anthropic, Mark Zuckerberg of Meta, Greg Brockman of OpenAI, Elon Musk of xAI, and Jensen Huang of Nvidia. Near the center-right, Donald J. Trump’s large signature appears above the printed title identifying him as president. The title contains a noticeable typo: instead of “President of the United States,” it reads, “President of the Unites States,” misspelling “United” as “Unites.”

[SENATOR ERIC SCHMITT]: So you’re saying, under oath, that you're not conspiring with CNN journalists? [JACK SMITH]: No, I don’t think— [SCHMITT]: WELL THEN *unveils poster* explain this screenshot of you replying to a Jim Acosta post! [SMITH]: That is CBS sports NFL analyst JP Acosta.

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.

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."

🤡 Schmitt beclowns himself 🤡 Schmitt concocted an elaborate conspiracy theory that Smith traveled to Atl for a Hawks game and to collude with Fani Willis, & flashed his "evidence" before accusing Smith of perjury. There's just one problem -- his facts were totally wrong. Here's the whole sequence:

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.👇

Paxton's buddy, a child rapist, raped a child for 3 fucking years, from the time the child was aged 8 until 11. And Paxton thinks 60 days in the country club prison for rich GOP Texans was sufficient penalty for raping a child for three years? Come on Texas, kick the Paxton trash to the curb in Nov.

Ken Paxton: The criticism has been that I let a child predator out after one day. Well guess what? They served 60 days.

The leader of the Republican Party is stealing money paid by American taxpayers to buy campaign ads for Republicans in the midterms. You can’t vote him out in 5 weeks, but you can vote out the people he’s trying to help with your money he’s thieving while they remain silent.

I don't give a damn if the media is calling a landslide. Get your ass to the polls anyway! Complacency is how we lose. Drop the comfort, lock in, and vote like democracy depends on it—because it does!

Your reminder that there is a felon in the White House identified in the Epstein files as a rapist, there has been no investigation, and the files are still being hidden in violation of federal law.

To flip the Senate, Democrats need to pick up 4 seats. 5 if you count the Fetterman problem. This can’t be emphasized enough: Michigan is a must-protect seat. Lose it, and we’d need to flip another seat just to make up the loss.

Here’s Susan Collins walking in a parade-style campaign event. She’s concerned and wants to give Maine six more years of MAGA and corruption. Kudos to whoever took this video and captured the gas station sign.
