Entire live coverage. “Former Special Counsel Jack Smith delivered defiant testimony before the House Judiciary Committee Thursday, telling lawmakers President Trump was charged because the evidence established that he willfully broke the very laws that he took an oath to uphold.”

"They're hunting our patients!" We're in a national emergency. And we all need to step up. I know that a lot of these legislators are busy & perhaps aren't seeing the extent of this tyranny, but if they're willing to give more money to ICE, they're nuts. They are voting today. Call 202-224-3121

If your representative or senator is still "standing" with Israel in 2026, it's time to vote them out.

General strike tomorrow in Minneapolis. ICE out of Minnesota now!!

If they couldn't condemn Israel for committing genocide, they are not going to stop ICE from mass murdering people in the streets too.

I know we normalize everything this thoroughly abnormal man does but to reiterate: the president is SUING a newspaper over a poll result he doesn’t like and claims not to believe. He is suing over a poll. Insanity. 25th Amendment territory. Again.

From someone on the ground in Lewiston, Maine:

I wonder if Maybelline Vance actually knows the history of the Titanic and if he feels it wise to compare the United States to a ship that sunk, killing all of the people who weren’t able to escape it. #FuckJDVance #ProudBlue #Pinks #Guardrails

Republicans spent the entire hearing accusing Jack Smith of prosecuting Trump for political reasons and falsely claiming he was being directed by Biden and Garland. Ironically, while they were doing that, Trump was telling Bondi on Truth Social that she should prosecute Smith.

This is what fascism looks like. Use the word. https://www.pbs.org/newshour/nation/immigration-officers-claim-sweeping-power-to-enter-homes-without-a-judges-warrant-memo-says

Donald Trump is furious not because Jack Smith did anything wrong as special prosecutor, but because he did everything right.

Jack Smith’s testimony is powerful. Trump was charged not for politics but because the evidence proved beyond a reasonable doubt that Donald Trump broke the law, and no one, not even a former president, is above it.

Today, there's a vote to triple the ICE budget. Here is what is going on and why I am leading the opposition to vote no.

Newsom: "Greg Bovino - dressed up as if he literally went on eBay & purchased SS garb. Secret police, private army, masked men, people disappearing, no due process ... so is it surprising that the Trump administration didn't like my commentary and wanted to make sure I wasn't allowed to speak? No."

Chip Roy is accusing Jack Smith of targeting Republicans. But as Smith JUST EXPLAINED, prosecutors got Roy's phone records (bc of his contacts with Scott Perry) before Smith was appointed.

Donald Trump is pulling America away from our founding ideals, lighting democracy on fire, trying to rig elections, and replacing the rule of law with the rule of Don.

Jack Smith on Trump's attacks: "I think the statements are meant to intimidate me. I will not be intimidated. I think these statements are also made as a warning to others, what will happen as they stand up."

Newsom: "The Trump administration is weakness masquerading as strength. It's reflected in the tweets, in sending masked men into cities. So I respect what Carney did because he stood up, and we need to stand up in America and call this out with clarity. We could lose our republic as we know it."

Jack Smith: “Trump was getting calls from people he trusts, people he relies on & 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.” #ProudBlue #Pinks #SheShed #TrumpIsUnfitForOffice

NEW: The Trump administration has written a secret legal opinion that ICE doesn’t need a proper warrant to enter your home. Late last night, I filed a FOIA request for that legal opinion. substack.com/@muellershew...

Jack Smith: I do not understand why you would mass pardon people who assaulted officers. I don't get it. [He earlier said the judges who sentenced them thought they were a danger to the community.]

Newsom: "He's an invasive species, Donald Trump. He took over the Republican Party. Lindsey Graham -- I mean, speaking of the kneepads. I'm sorry. This is tough stuff. I don't recognize these people any longer. You think what I'm saying about Trump is tough? How about what Graham said about Trump."

Truth telling! YES!

January 1944. Alsace. Winter. In the frozen dark, a 20-year-old woman, Éliane Vauclerc,was tied between two trees, eight months pregnant, her breath turning to ice before it left her mouth. Every nerve screamed, every minute felt borrowed.The war had already decided she would not survive the night.”

Jack Smith looked Jim Jordan in the eye and said the evidence showed Trump “willfully broke” the law—and he’d do it again. The cases didn’t die because the facts changed. They died because power protects itself.

Chillingly cruel and unreal! Murder thousands, displace millions, completely destroy entire cities and country side, leave the people starving and freezing and then celebrate your vision of building on their stolen lives even asking for financial partners. Pure evil! Pure evil! Incomprehensible!

Former Special Counsel Jack Smith is sworn in: “I love my country.” “I am not a politician & I hold no partisan loyalties. My career has been dedicated to serving our country by upholding the rule of law.” “My approach has always been the same: follow the facts & the law, without fear or favor.”

BREAKING: Super powerful words from Jack Smith just now: "The investigation developed proof beyond a reasonable doubt that President Trump engaged in criminal activity… No one should be above the law in this country and the law required he be held to account.” Every American needs to hear this

In case you forgot why Senile Satan was cited for refusing to return classified documents.

The money that used to help Americans get healthcare is now being used to sponsor state terrorism. You can’t afford to see a doctor but the guy with no diploma and no skills is getting paid that money to intimidate and harm citizens.

“The UN is strengthened as a genuine multilateral forum, not hollowed out as cover for hegemonic preferences (“The UN is the core platform for practicing multilateralism and advancing global governance, whose role must be enhanced, not weakened”)

These 10 companies stand to rake in $1 billion by 2027 by helping ICE track down and round up immigrants. Cashing in on cruelty. theintercept.com/2025/12/23/i...

Stop funding ICE and release the Epstein files. Sat free all these detained migrants who have had No due process!!!!!

Clarity

Former CIA official tells Nicole Wallace 'we’re all ashamed' of Trump's speech

“You know, I just realized that they probably knew Renee was a lesbian before they shot her.When I overheard a woman asking to call her girlfriend, cried because I thought of Renee, and of my girlfriend and this girl. And I was like, ‘Why are so many lesbians being fucked up by ICE right now?’”

“.. The United States is being ushered off the international stage. History will remember that as Trump’s most significant contribution.” @timothynoah.bsky.social @newrepublic.com newrepublic.com/article/2055...

If what ICE is doing has anything to do with the law, why are they routinely breaking laws, violating the Constitution, violating civil rights, and hurting and killing innocent people?

Cruelty is their game!

Stop what you’re doing and read this whistleblower report. ICE has been training its agents that they don’t need a judicial warrant to break down your door - a blatant violation of the 4th Amendment. www.documentcloud.org/documents/26...

The Treasury Secretary says no big deal if the world stops buying U.S. Treasuries. It’s a huge deal for our country’s financial health and for Americans who would pay higher interest rates on car loans and mortgages. Why is he spouting nonsense? To suck up to a wannabe dictator.

Buckle up, buttercups. ✊🏼🇺🇸💥

#ICE vs #TheBlackPanthers! My money is on the #BlackPanthers! #RiseUp! #Resist! 💪💪

ICE secretly told its officers that any time someone has been ordered removed, ICE can break down their door. It has been accepted for generations that the only thing which can authorize agents to break into your home is a warrant signed by a judge. No wonder ICE hid this memo!
