A note next to the elevator:

I’m losing confidence in my hotel elevators. Thankfully I’m only in the second floor.

5 eye-popping revelations in newly released filing of Smartmatic's case against Fox News On Friday, a court ruled that Smartmatic could submit a filing with fewer redactions in the interest of public transparency. On Monday, the company did exactly that, revealing new details in a 469-pag...

Someone looking at all this with a cold eye might say that Miller and Hegseth are seeking control over the power ministries before a Vance ally invokes the 25th Amendment.

It really is staggering to see so many people willing to abandon our 249 year experiment in democracy for an increasingly unstable criminally convicted reality show charlatan.

He’s the only Republican there. He sent all the rest of them home again to avoid a vote on the Epstein files. Since Johnson has become Speaker they have probably been in recess at least 3 out of every 4 days. And they’ve done NOTHING on health care for years. bsky.app/profile/atru...

Every Republican who stands by while Trump dangerously escalates this conflict with Democrat-led cities and states is complicit in his crimes.

This is a breathtaking abuse of the law and power by the President of the United States.

America is on the brink of martial law.

Do not be silent.
