Jack Smith Says Trump Engaged In A Conspiracy to Overturn the 2020 Election...
Democrats believe him So why do they never mention the possibility that Trump engaged in a conspiracy to win the 2024 election?

AND per @grassrootsspeak.bsky.social We need to publicly call on the 11th Circuit to force Judge Aileen Cannon to either release the gag order on Volume 2 or to take her off the case. Taxpayers paid for this report and there may be answers there.
Volume 2 of Jack Smiths Report should be made public.
And I’ll say this:
I personally can’t think of a better way to cover-up evidence of crimes you don’t want public than for a President to abuse his powers by “classifying” the evidence.
We don’t know if Volume 2 contains evidence- but it could.

A GOP rep is currently pointing out to Jack Smith that a number of co-conspirators in the conspiracy to violate the voting rights of the people were NOT charged
If I could ask a follow up question to Jack Smith I would ask:
“Are any of the coconspirators you had evidence to charge in this room?”

Even though people on the judiciary committee may or may not understand it - this hearing with Jack Smith is supposed to be about the Civil Rights of Americans & ensure everyone who’s entitled to vote has the opportunity, their votes are counted accurately & not diluted

I want to listen to facts, evidence & testimony
When a question is raised by the Dems I get to hear from the witness & focus on testimony under oath by Jack Smith regarding facts & evidence.
Every time a GOP asks a question it reeks of political weaponization and I barely get to hear Jack Smith.

We can wonder: maybe electoral malfeasance and stolen documents are connected? Consider how Smith's testimony is constrained. @balint.house.gov
The GOP are making Jack Smiths public testimony their stage for public theater to distract & stop America from hearing the Jack Smiths actual testimony

With other researchers, I have been tracking venture capital, tech fascism and Network State activity in countries across Africa and wanted to share a few notes. The situation is escalating and we are looking at similar patterns happening across Africa as we have seen in Latin America.

Can they throw in Vermont? (Maple Danish pastry...yum!)
More than 200,000 Danish citizens have signed a petition to buy California as a response to Trump’s attempt to take Greenland.
They say they will provide Californians with “rule of law, universal health care, fact-based politics, and a lifetime supply of Danish pastries.”

Yes! It's been excruciating to watch journalism throw away its relevance and its power.
My Stop the Presses newsletter calls for more aggressive action by the media to be "radically truthful" and defeat the liars:
/ Correct *every* lie uttered on your platform.
/ Put Trump's remarks on tape delay for proper fact checks.
/ Cut off liars in mid-interview and ban them from your airwaves.

Glad to have a representative who's not afraid to speak the truth.
Kidnapping a foreign leader invites other countries to do the same. The Trump administration just handed China and Russia permission on a silver platter, risking global stability and putting American lives in jeopardy.
