Jack Smith: "Our investigation developed proof beyond a reasonable doubt that President Trump engaged in serious crimes against our nation ... rather than accept his defeat in the 2020 election, he engaged in a criminal scheme to overturn the results and prevent the lawful transfer of power"

My current favorite genre of video: overly confident (and drunk) racist gets a spanking. This happened in Roanoke, VA outside Fork in the Market on Thursday night. The little man was arrested.

* CARNEY SAYS U.S. TERMS IN TRADE TALKS MEANT CANADIAN INDUSTRIES EITHER WOULD BECOME U.S. SUBSIDIARIES OR BE WOUND DOWN * CANADA SAYS WE CAN START HAVING TRADE DISCUSSIONS WITH THE U.S. WHEN "AMERICANS STOP DOING MEMES, STOP THROWING SHADE, STOP TRYING TO BE TOUGH AND START BEING SERIOUS"

He works for us, but, I mean, which of us hasn't gone in to our boss's office and said, "I prefer not to give you any details, but I'm doing amazing work."

For the midterms, Republicans will gerrymander districts, selectively close polling places, purge voter rolls, stop mail-in ballots, shorten polling hours, and deploy Trump's election monitors, but, when they lose anyway, will say the system was rigged against them.

New in PN: The new "science golden age" looks suspiciously like a grift "It’s impossible not to wonder whether part of Trump’s loathing for universities is that there's no way for him to corrupt the process and make money off it in the same way he can by giving billions to Silicon Valley types."

Fox News insists racism doesn't exist, unless a Black actor plays a white character

Commander of Blue Angels is asked about the flyover incident yesterday. He described it as “an unsafe situation” and “we will have a heavy review of what happened yesterday to ensure we don’t put ourselves in unsafe situations again.”

ICYMI — This corrupt dummy is the guy behind Trump’s whole “rigged election” claim, and even he admits no votes were tampered with… but wait y’all he’s “still researching”! 🤡

This declaration from WaPo journalist Hannah Natanson describing what the FBI took is utterly devastating. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

2026 is going to be a very dark year for US foreign policy, where everything that was built over many decades by leaders for collective security is torn apart by one madman, but only because people in his own party remain silent.

A felon who married an immigrant is telling a lot of y’all that the problems in this country all stem from felons and immigrants. But keep buying that stupid red hat that’s made in China.

Frey: "You cannot drag pregnant women through the snow. You're not allowed to take teenagers out of their car and detain them when they are in fact American citizens. That is against the law in every state. That is against our US Constitution."

JUST IN: Reps. Massie and Khanna say "DOJ cannot be trusted" to release all of the Epstein files, urge a federal judge to appoint an independent overseer to make it happen. khanna.house.gov/sites/evo-su...

PRESSLEY: We just agreed that fraud is unacceptable. So do you oppose the pardon of George Santos? ROBBINS: I would have to look at the law and the facts of the case PRESSLEY: Don't deflect. This is not a complicated question.

As congressional hearings go on in public today and can be watched live online by everyone, Jack Smith is testifying behind closed doors despite his written request to appear in public because Republicans don’t want the American people (again) to hear him destroy their lies.

Whoa.

At least make a better effort when gaslighting. Good grief

Shit just got real for murderer and war criminal Pete Hegseth, who inadvertently just incriminated himself. 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣👇

Unhinged Trump ramping up his threats against Republican state senators in Indiana. The Republican Party is a mafia organization and the mob boss is angry.

Trump: "NATO calls me daddy."

🤷🏼

In sworn testimony during his trial, a witness testified that former President Hernández once said that he wanted to “shove drugs right up the noses of the gringos.” Now he is going to be granted a pardon by President Trump — not even a commutation — and be freed from a 45-year prison sentence.

Trump’s special envoy Steve Witkoff isn’t working for the US, or for humanity. He’s working for Vladimir Putin. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Are those "MANY GREAT LEGAL SCHOLARS" in the room with you right now, Piggy?

John Sauer is FLAILING. I await the day when I no longer have to hear this man talk.

Mike Johnson describes Trump’s mental decline and unhinged behavior.

i will never understand how 77 million Americans thought empowering this was a good idea. our country was so lucky to survive his first term and he's much worse now.

This is potentially a massive story. Did DOJ plan for survivors? Do they have sufficient evidence to prosecute? What is US jurisdiction to prosecute? Where will they go next? When is their court date? Will they be indicted? Held at Gitmo? Returned to Venezuela? Be Epsteined?

The “I’m not sure what you’re doing here” comment was directed at Michael Froman, the president of CFR, which was literally hosting the event

Q: In 2018, Trump imposed 25% tariffs on steel and aluminum. Two years later, there were 1,000 more steel workers and 75,000 fewer manufacturing workers in the sectors dependent on steel PETER NAVARRO: I dispute those facts Q: That's a Ball State study NAVARRO: I'm not sure what you're doing here

Dean: The president is unhinged Johnson: A lot of folks on your side are too. I don’t control him Dean: Oh my god, please. That performance in front of the generals. Johnson: I didn’t see it. Dean: Our allies are looking elsewhere. Our enemies are laughing.

Mark Zuckerberg has a vision for how A.I. could be used in Meta's universe. But the actor and filmmaker Joseph Gordon-Levitt is here to point out a flaw in the technology: an apparent lack of guardrails around how the company's chatbot interacts with underage users. nyti.ms/3ILwCNo

Mike Johnson refuses to swear in a Democrat who won her election in a landslide just so he can block a vote on the Epstein files. bsky.app/profile/acyn...

Donald Trump will forever be Putin's bitch

CINDY MCCAIN: “The desperation is overwhelming.”

I realize we’ve been beaten down and desensitized because of all the insanity from this lunatic, but this is just INSANE on so many levels.

[writing the constitution] Benjamin Franklin: Write down "no dumb fucks as president" Alexander Hamilton: Stop saying that Benjamin Franklin: I'm tellin' you. You're gonna regret not writing that down

🔥 MUST-WATCH: @jessicatarlov.bsky.social reminds Fox’s audience Dems have tried to nationalize fair districting, but Republicans blocked HR1 because they want to keep rigging it — leaving Dems with no choice but to fight fire with fire.

This is amongst the most impactful two minutes of broadcasting I’ve ever seen. By Emma Murphy, International Editor, ITV News. #Gaza

Trump supporters are accusing Obama of trying to convince the public he won an election he lost, calling it a “coup”, and accusing him of treason. With straight faces. Think about that for a second. As @abbydphillip says, you’re thinking of the other guy. @scottjenningsky

How it started How it’s going After CBS bowed down to get the Paramount merger approved… Matt and Trey have entered the chat

As crippled as the NWS is, it appears that they did do their job. Texas officials did not.

Trump in 2020: We have to go by the laws. We can't move in the National Guard. I can call insurrection but there's no reason to ever do that, even in a Portland case. We can't call in the National Guard unless we're requested by a governor.

During Trump's Oval Office meeting with the president of South Africa, Trump showed video he claimed was evidence of mass killings of white South Africans. It was not. The video was taken in the Democratic Republic of Congo and had nothing to do with South Africa. www.reuters.com/world/africa...
