Only a guilty, narcissistic felon and his spineless Republican enablers would bury Jack Smith's devastating deposition transcript on New Year's Eve—hoping fireworks and champagne distract from the mountain of evidence proving Trump's crimes.
Pathetic. Cowardly. Revealing.

Half way through the Jack Smith transcript and it’s become abundantly clear why Jim Jordan didn’t want public testimony. Jordan spends a lot of time whining about the toll subpoenas, and Jack Smith shuts him down every time.

Here's the entire 8+ hours of Jack Smith's testimony where he says he found “proof beyond a reasonable doubt” that Trump engaged in a “criminal scheme” to overturn the 2020 election & that Trump “repeatedly tried to obstruct justice” in the classified documents case.

There is no equivalent left-leaning media mogul. Not even close. Not on a national level, not on a local level. Nothing really at all.
Rupert Murdoch ran the NY Post for 40+ years at a financial loss. Because it’s critical (and priceless) messaging and influence infrastructure.

The thing I will remember most about 2025 is that Donald Trump, Elon Musk, and Russell Vought took live-saving medicine and food away from hundreds of thousands of sick and starving children, and this did not change the way the media and society in general regarded them in any significant way.

As 2025 comes to a close, Americans are taking stock of an economy that looks nothing like what Trump promised.
We wrapped up Trump’s performance this year and the numbers are pretty rough (unless you’re a billionaire).

An exceptionally stupid and contingent set of circumstances made Stephen Miller the most influential ideologue in the US. There is no future for the left or liberalism that does not take as a core mission ensuring he is punished for his crimes & no one as hateful as him is ever close to power again.

it’s crazy how obvious it is that donald trump has been actively part of the epstein coverup for half a decade now and he’s just still the president
Julie K. Brown is a reporter for the Miami Herald who did groundbreaking work on Epstein beginning in 2018, including groundbreaking work on the disgusting coverup by Alex Acosta.
Her travel itinerary was released with some of the Epstein files. It appears the DOJ was monitoring her in 2019.

A Hampton Inn in Asheville just canceled my family's reservation because our address (incorrectly) showed Asheville—and the hotel bars locals within 50 miles.
When I asked why, they said, "because of our homeless population," adding that most hotels here have similar policies.
This is outrageous.
