Our country is dying, and Jack Smith knows it.
He’s asking to testify publicly, so you know he’s got receipts.
Doing this paints an even larger target on his back, and he's saying, "Fuck it."

Political violence and threats are not the answer.
This is a watershed moment — we can choose to stay silent and live in fear, or we can choose to be loud for peace and compassion.
We must work together to stop this crisis, and it should start from the top with the President.

Stop calling it "witholding". The money was appropriate by Congress, and by law was to be disbursed to the intended programs. The money was supposed to go to the programs, Trump and McMahon prevented it from doing so, sending the $$ back to the Treasury. Call it theft, because it is.
