The bad news is that it appears CBS News has fallen.

The good news is that independent media has been ready for this moment.

We aren’t just telling our constituents what we can do with real representation but showing them too. Two tons of food for needy families in our district in two hours. We have too many people in DC promising to do the work and not enough doing it.

It’s not true that Trump only pardons rich white guys. He also pardons rich foreigners who put hundreds of millions in his pocket through his crypto company.

Several historic crimes, actually
Smith “forcefully rebutted claims that his work was tainted by politics and delivered a granular defense of his office’s tactics and prosecution strategy — all while repeatedly restating his view that Trump was guilty of a historic crime.”

JACK SMITH ON MARSHA BLACKBURN: “False & misleading — I did not choose those members of Congress, President Trump did.”

@MarshaBlackburn & @SenatorHagerty tried to grab millions and get Jack disbarred… for protecting 🇺🇸 after the insurrection Trump called them to help him with.

Smith straight out of the gate making it explicitly clear that in BOTH of Trump’s federal criminal cases, there was “proof beyond a reasonable doubt” and that Smith’s team would have prevailed at trial.

Trump simply cannot help himself from being an absolute human shitstain.
In the early afternoon, ET, the Kennedy family announced that JFK’s granddaughter Tatiana Schlossberg had died from cancer.

A few hours later, President Trump re-posted some social media garbage attacking the Kennedy family.

At year end, the dividing line in politics today is defined by dignity. Dignity is something that can't be taken away. It can only be surrendered voluntarily. We saw the most powerful business leaders willing to surrender dignity while everyday Americans stood tall.

This is Trump’s long game.

We’ve spent years cracking down on fraudsters. It’s a serious issue - but this has been his plan all along.

He’s politicizing the issue to defund programs that help Minnesotans.

Watching Trump talk about Putin’s intentions for Ukraine is like a Helsinki redux. He just doesn’t get it.

Putin has never changed his demands and they amount to Ukraine surrendering its own country. Trump saying Russia wants Ukraine to succeed was so absurd that even Zelensky had to crack a smile.
