Saying there must be trials isn't just an emotive aspiration. Congress can: - Create a new court (complying w/ 6A jury vicinage) - Give it jurisdiction over defined category of crimes - Also create dedicated prosecutors for the same - Strip SCOTUS of appellate jurisdiction It can be done.

Special Counsel Jack Smith’s testified before the House Judiciary Committee two weeks ago. His request to testify publicly was denied by Chair Jim Jordan, who then released the transcript on New Year’s Eve. READ the thread below.Share it.

The Corporation for Public Broadcasting has been dissolved, ending its 58 years as the primary funder for PBS, NPR and local TV and radio stations

Five years ago tomorrow, thousands of the president's supporters stormed the Capitol. Trump has since dubbed Jan. 6 a "day of love." Scroll through @propublica.org's massive trove of parler videos -- organized by time and location -- from that day and judge for yourself:

Two things were happening as Trump decided to launch his imperial strike on Venezuela. One was the DOJ filing w/the court explanations for their redactions in the Epstein files they released. The other was Jim Jordan’s release of the transcript of Jack Smith’s testimony. So I read the transcript.

Fed Governor Lisa Cook Declared Her Atlanta Property as ‘Vacation Home’ not 'Primary Residence,' Documents Show www.cnn.com/2025/09/13/b...

She's a fantastic talent and seven years is a respectable tenure on that show. Hope that she is leaving because she has been called into greater professional opportunities.

Bank documents obtained by Reuters show that Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook listed her Georgia property as a “vacation home” and never tried to get a tax exemption on it. The documents contradict Trump’s accusations that she committed mortgage fraud as a justification to remove her from the Fed.
