Jack Smith needs to become a verb. “Let’s Jack Smith some of the false claims about vaccine protocols and climate change.” His calm, cool crushing of a ranting Republican accuser was a marvel to behold.

Every place, ultimately, is a small town. But whenever I go back to the small-town part of the world where I used to live and immediately run into someone who's known me since forever, I cherish actual small towns all over again.

“The White House is not a business opportunity. The presidency is not a license to steal from the American people. The government of the United States doesn’t exist to make Donald Trump rich. It belongs to the American people.” —Chris Murphy

So the president has raked in two billion American dollars during his second term, so far. Move over Charlie Forbes, Harry Dougherty and Al Fall. This thief is showing the amateurs of the Harding administration how it’s done.

Voting is a right, not a privilege. The SAVE Act won’t save anything. It will strip Americans of their right to vote. We have to fight back to protect our democracy.

U.S. Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito leaned on an erroneous claim that Black voter turnout now tops white voter turnout, in his Callais v. Louisiana ruling that gutted the Voting Rights Act, reports The Guardian. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Anyone else notice this? Mainstream journalists have forgotten their duty to speak truth to power. It is why it is one of the rights written into the Constitution. Political cartoonists are the real and true heroes of the moment.

A century from now, the current president will be remembered just as frequently and fondly as Warren Gamaliel Harding, and his name will be emblazoned on the same number of nothings.

ICE brought chaos to our streets. Instead of focusing on violent criminals, they pulled over off-duty local law enforcement officers.

Fact: In a one hour and 47 minute speech, the President only spent 2.9 minutes on affordability and 3.8 minutes on health care.

Senator Tim Scott of South Carolina — the Senate’s only Black Republican — wrote on X that he hoped the post was fake “because it’s the most racist thing I’ve seen out of this White House. The President should remove it.” —NYT
