It's inconceivable to me how someone who lost in a free & fair election can incite an angry mob to attack his own government, (the very definition of treason) & be allowed to run for any office ever again.

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."

The U.S. owes $40 trillion in debt.

I know Rahm Emanuel. I worked with him for years in the Clinton administration, and then when he was Obama’s chief of staff.

Rahm Emanuel represents everything that’s been wrong about the Democratic Party for the last 30+ years.

Be warned. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/the-rahm-bomb

“When the Trump Administration converts taxpayer money to use for partisan hype-pieces, it not only affronts the law, but it inevitably leads to the diversion of taxpayer funds from important government programs that support the American public.”

If we want a government that is by the people, for the people, and a real representation of the people, we’ve got to show up.

Perpetually “concerned” Susan Collins should be VERY concerned by the latest reporting from ProPublica, revealing her involvement in an alleged bribery/pay to play scheme of awarding defense contracts to a specific firm right after that company made campaign “donations."

A recent survey found that 92% of U.S. adults have delayed or avoided medical care due to high costs.

Meanwhile, a new study from Yale estimates that Medicare for All would save over 114,000 lives and $1 trillion a year.

If this country was truly “pro-life,” we would have universal healthcare.
