At 10 am on @MSNOWNews, I’ll discuss Smith transcript. He debunked the claim that Trump was just contesting an election like other presidents. Trump knowingly engaged in fraud and took steps to obstruct the lawful transfer of presidential power.

Jack Smith deposition transcript released
The former special counsel, who led two failed prosecutions of President Donald Trump, spoke before the House Judiciary Committee in mid-December.

Jack Smith has a steel-rod backbone, much more than all members of Congress put together.
Democrats in the House and Senate need to learn how to tell the unvarnished truth like this.

Whatever happens now, we absolutely cannot allow Trump's refusal to seek Congressional authorization for what appears to be a large scale military attack on another country vanish from the media discussion, which already appears to be happening.

This war and extra-judicial kidnapping is patently illegal and unconstitutional. Political leaders on both sides must condemn it. It’s not about whether Maduro is a tyrant but whether the US is still governed by laws and the Constitution. As if this morning, we are clearly not.

First they decided to strip nursing of its “professional” designation.
Now they’re removing a requirement that ensured nursing homes receiving Medicare or Medicaid funding had an RN available 24/7.
This regime doesn’t care about the elderly & disabled.

Nursing homes are about to get a lot worse, thanks to Trump and RFK Jr.
We can debate tax policy. We can debate spending priorities. But protecting the elderly should not be a debate at all.
