There's a reason Congressional Republicans released Jack Smith's testimony on New Year's Eve -- they are hoping it will be ignored by people busy with their lives tonight. It won't. That damning testimony will be cited again and again, because it's the truth.

Question: But the president’s statements that he believed the election was rife with fraud—those are statements protected by the First Amendment, correct?
Smith: Absolutely not. If they are made to target a lawful government function and are made with knowing falsity, then no, they are not.

What a relief to see 2025 in the rear-view mirror. Count me among those optimistic that 2026, America’s 250th anniversary year, will be the opportunity to prove that most Americans won’t let a depraved and malignant despot destroy our beloved country and end our democratic project.

Trump abandoned his duty to defend the Constitution on January 6. It was a profound betrayal of American democracy. And Republicans, MAGA, and right-wing media have tried to erase one of the most treacherous acts in US history.
Smith: He was getting calls from people he trusts, people he relies on—and he still refused to come to the aid of the people at the Capitol. That’s very important evidence for criminal intent in our case.
