Question: Did anyone from the White House, including President Biden, ever tell you they expected you to bring charges against Donald Trump? Smith: No.

NEW: Jack Smith's team interviewed Giuliani, and when asked whether Rudy believed his own lies about election fraud, Jack Smith said he did not, and that neither did Donald Trump.

Score one for “fuck you, make me”

The House Judiciary Committee has released Jack Smith's 255-page deposition transcript judiciary.house.gov/sites/evo-su... "For nearly three decades I have been a career prosecutor. I have served during both Republican and Democratic administrations and I've been guided by those principles in...

Smith: He was getting calls from people he trusts, people he relies on—and he still refused to come to the aid of the people at the Capitol. That’s very important evidence for criminal intent in our case.

Half way through the Jack Smith transcript and it’s become abundantly clear why Jim Jordan didn’t want public testimony. Jordan spends a lot of time whining about the toll subpoenas, and Jack Smith shuts him down every time.

Smith: We had also interviewed Boris Epshteyn… He corroborated that they were, in fact, trying to call senators. He dissembled and tried to imply that the president hadn’t directed him to do it, even though there was a text message saying specifically that they had.

So “a million more documents” is now “roughly 5.2 million pages of Epstein files documents” And they’re “seeking to enlist about 400 lawyers” to do doc review, which means they don’t even have the people yet to get it done Trump & Pamela Jo are just slow-walking the shit out of violating the law.

“But why DiDnt ThEy jUsT LeT tHeM EnteR?!” Because no day care in its right mind opens its doors to strangers. Also it’s illegal. Let a group of 8 screaming Black & brown men with cameras show up to a daycare in a predominately white neighborhood & watch how fast the police arrive and open fire.😐

New: The House Judiciary Committee just released (on New Year’s Eve) the transcript of Jack Smith’s testimony. As I start to read the 250 page report, this Q+A in the image below jumps out: judiciary.house.gov/sites/evo-su...

NEW: The Jack Smith deposition transcript is a devastating, point-by-point rebuttal to claims that the Trump prosecutions were “political,” as Smith details evidence of Trump’s crimes "beyond a reasonable doubt."

Jack Smith: I believe we had proof beyond a reasonable doubt in both cases.

The greatest and often unreported irony here is that the Alt-Right's WHOLE FUCKING PITCH to young men was "get your shit together, hit the gym, help us turn this country around, and you will be swimming in women" only for "Who did you vote for in '24?" to be the inflection point of their loneliness.

This snippet perfectly illustrates why we need to completely reform the Supreme Court Because it was a SCOTUS packed with MAGA judges-chosen by Trump himself-that shamefully deprived America of its rightful justice by granting him immunity and destroying any chance Jack Smith had to prosecute him

Question: But the president’s statements that he believed the election was rife with fraud—those are statements protected by the First Amendment, correct? Smith: Absolutely not. If they are made to target a lawful government function and are made with knowing falsity, then no, they are not.

Smith: I think who should be accountable for this is Donald Trump. These records exist because, in the case of the senators, Donald Trump directed his co-conspirators to call these people to further delay the proceedings. He chose to do that.

As it happens, I have experience with high-level government demands to stop an explosive, accurate story from running, and I also have experience with 60 Minutes spiking a story I was involved in, so I have thoughts about the travesty at CBS. If you want some journalism anecdotes, here are a lot:

Every single person in this man’s life needs to tell him he’s a creepy loser. “You tried to barge into a day care because of a racist conspiracy theory. Don’t ever contact me again.”

The entire reason they’re locked is to prevent weird freaks like this who have no right to be there from marching in and endangering the kids.

He was supposed to serve 10 years and pay $36 million in restitution for defrauding investors. Never served a day. Not Somali.

Trump and Stephen Miller are actually failing in crucial ways. Deportations are lagging behind their goals, courts are mostly functioning, and their fascist, ethnonationalist cruelties have unleashed a countermobilization of unexpected scope and power. New from me: newrepublic.com/article/2046...

Miller's "tactics have triggered a sustained cultural backlash in defense of the specific migrants in Trump-Miller’s crosshairs and of immigration more broadly as a positive good for the country. Miller has helped drive Trump’s approval on immigration—once a “good” issue for him—into the toilet"

the MAGA project is stalling out in no small part because they've been unable to sell america on their ideas in practice. the images of masked thugs grabbing innocent people off the street has galvanized spontaneous resistance, not mass support bsky.app/profile/just...

yep, well said, and as I try to argue here, Stephen Miller's hubris at the outset was very evident; he and his allies fully expected that the "shock and awe" (Homan's actual smirking formulation) would push the mass public into acquiescence

There is nothing inexplicable about why some histories are not widely known.

So we’re supposed to believe the DOJ just stumbled onto a million more Epstein “documents”. Really? Let’s talk about the redactions. In March the FBI put 934 employees on the Epstein files, racked up more than 14,000 hours of overtime. And part of that work was redacting Donald Trump’s name.

The Blue Tsunami continues!!! 🌊🌊🌊

Democrats yesterday won the final special election of 2025, in Iowa: Their nominee defended a state Senate district by 43%. Harris had won it by 17% last year. This win means Dems prevent the GOP from gaining a supermajority; the GOP lost the supermajority earlier this year.

Every part of this is embarrassingly lame.

There is a permanent stain with no illustrious immorality for those who abuse children. The stench exposes the guilty. No amount of money can erase it. Especially for those who tamper with justice, with elections, with Democracy. Touché @jerasikehorn.bsky.social ☀️💙 #Pinks #ProudBlue #Voices4Victory

RIP 2025 2025-2025

On a day when the Kennedy family is grappling with an unimaginable personal loss, Donald Trump chose to use his platform to launch petty, vindictive attacks against them. Yet another stunning display of cruelty and utter lack of basic human decency.

Large law firms are siding with Trump over their clients and employees. Let me give you one statistic to exemplify this: DOJ is suing 22 states for access to sensitive voter data. My firm of 60 lawyers is fighting in all 22. Not a single big law firm is fighting along side us in any case.

libsoftiktok is now the third most powerful branch of government after the president and supreme court

We don't have a government. We have a bunch of guys who heard things on social media. We don't have due process. We have entire groups being punished for the alleged actions of a few.

This was a pretty good one

He donated $1.8 million to Trump and hired Pam Bondi’s brother as his pardon attorney. Defrauded hundreds of millions from people. Walked away free. Not Somali.

Talking with people at a holiday gathering here in Toronto last night, and when it came up, most of us nodded that we likely won’t ever visit the United States again. It’s a weird feeling, and weird to acknowledge in a group.

That’s not actually 100% correct. Trump has negotiated with the Taliban before and freed thousands of terrorists who attacked Americans afterwards. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_...

Boston has defeated Seattle. 🤘

That one arrest probably cost taxpayers about $10,000. Someone call DOGE

Daily Beast: Since her split with Trump, Marjorie Taylor Greene received a death threat against her son. MTG texted Trump that children should be off limits, to which Trump replied she had only herself to blame. #ProudBlue #Pinks #TrumpisaNationalDisgrace

I wrote this last winter. I so wish I was wrong about where all this would lead. So much suffering, so much sickness and death because of this man. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/13/o...

The J6 Pipe Bomber stated that the reason he placed the pipe bombs at the DNC & RNC because he believed that the 2020 election was stolen, & no one in Congress was taking it seriously. Now who was the one that kept on saying that the election was stolen?? youtu.be/4xgayuaun2U?...

New in PN: The regime wants to turn artists into performing monkeys "Freedom of speech and freedom of expression is the right to criticize the ruler. But it’s also the right to not play jazz vibraphone if you don’t want to — not even if the ruler says you must for his greater glory."

Lowest ratings ever for a CBS broadcast. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Hey so this seems like something more people should be talking about 🤔 🗳️ www.npr.org/2025/10/23/n...
