Jamie Raskin Outsmarts Jim Jordan And Sets Up A Big Jack Smith Headache For Trump Jim Jordan wants to investigate Jack Smith, so Jamie Raskin is using Jordan's investigation to try to get Smith to publicly testify about evidence against Trump.

After abolishing the Electoral College & ending Citizen's United, nothing would be better for this country than public testimony about January 6th from Jack Smith.

Iโ€™ve been thinking that lately as well! The first time I watched it I thought it was fiction. Did not realize it was based on real Cold War history. Plus, Iโ€™m a huge Keri Russell fan!

There are so many ways this headline could have been written that would not make the concerns of so many US citizens sound questionable.

Unbelievable that the clarinet player from this band was arrested while peacefully playing music across the street from the ICE facility in Portland. This regime really is using our tax money to go after dangerous criminals.

Tomorrow about a third of Perseverance rover staff will be laid off, despite the mission being the penultimate step in a decades long effort to bring samples back from mars.

Reckless, needless budget cuts intended to hinder the pursuit of knowledge.

Russ Vought is now officially using the government shutdown as a pretext for his continued attempts to permanently gut the civil service.

The executive branch cannot unilaterally reduce agency funding that Congress has allocated: This is a serious separation of powers issue.

A remarkable amount of what that petty person does is about revenge. Did not know about his backstory with Pritzker. Yet another reason heโ€™s targeting Chicago. Do he has personal vendettas against Obama, Lightfoot, and Pritzker. Hell, heโ€™s probably also pissed he hasnโ€™t won the Pritzker prize!

The worst part is that the image heโ€™s sold the world of being a successful businessman is all fake - a film set of building facades w/ nothing behind them. He inherited a fortune, lost it in bankruptcies & has become wealthy again through money laundering, foreign dark money, insider trading, etc.

Good point. And sometimes the uniform and being given a role with power and authority over others brings out worst in people. Just look at the Stanford prison experiment:

The regime is trying to eliminate mail in voting for this very reason. They want to make it hard and/or scary to vote in person and impossible to vote by mail. Trump said that Putin told him to get rid of mail in voting so that adds fuel to fire since Putin is his boss.
