Jack Smith is calling for the House Judiciary Committee to release the recording of his full closed-door deposition before the panel.

When police returned Reggie Williams’ wallet, an officer told him: Don’t do anything bad and keep your ID on you.
To Williams, the warning echoed a slavery-era requirement that free African Americans carry documents to prove they weren’t enslaved.

I don't do much looking back at my own writing, but I've been thinking about this piece a lot today. From tenderly protecting Trump from criminal consequences to enthusiastically helping him dismantle the administrative state, Roberts owns it all.

ICE has its own Health Services Corps, which it operates in 17 large detention centers, but an increasingly large majority of people are held in private detention centers where the healthcare is operated by contractor or subcontractor, where ICE basically just manages the insurance claims.

People realized in 2022 what a mistake it was to let Russia annex Crimea, and to let it build that bridge. Now Crimea is a large military base where warships were stationed at one time, fighter jets fly, missiles and drones are launched nightly.
Russia cannot keep Crimea. It uses it to terrorize.

The economic backbone for so many communities across America is tourism. Because of this White House it is collapsing. Anyone in the @GOP (The Enablers) should be fired in the 2026 election for letting this happen. Vote for Democrats only and put an end to the destruction of America.

Some folks are saying—presumably accurately—that Stevens is only doing this to help her in the Senate primary.
I don't see why that's a problem.
