The American Oligarchs Have Arrived to Destroy US Democracy | Common Dreams
Oligarchy is corrosive. It destroys trust and confidence in government. It breeds cynicism and discontent. If not challenged, it will swallow us whole.

Smith: We had also interviewed Boris Epshteyn… He corroborated that they were, in fact, trying to call senators. He dissembled and tried to imply that the president hadn’t directed him to do it, even though there was a text message saying specifically that they had.

So to be clear—he's fine pardoning criminals who used weapons of mass destruction against
Worst the American people.”

1/ Tina Peters is in prison for criminally breaching election security, not for exposing fraud. No court, audit, or investigation found widespread voter fraud in Colorado. Mail-in voting in Colorado has existed for years, is used by voters across parties, and has been upheld by courts.

Question: But the president’s statements that he believed the election was rife with fraud—those are statements protected by the First Amendment, correct?
Smith: Absolutely not. If they are made to target a lawful government function and are made with knowing falsity, then no, they are not.

China ended the year of President Trump's aggressive tariffs policy with a trillion-dollar trade surplus. That's an economic and political win for now.

Smith: He was getting calls from people he trusts, people he relies on—and he still refused to come to the aid of the people at the Capitol. That’s very important evidence for criminal intent in our case.

Roberts' New Years report shines a light on some of his key decisions, such as Citizens United (declaring that money is speech), gutting the Voting Rights Act, declaring Trump above all laws, and allowing Trump to ignore laws passed by Congress. Roberts wants a dictatorship or oligarchy.

To translate from hyper-partisan MAGA language into plain English, when Roberts declares that the Supreme Court is a “counter-majoritarian check,” he is stating that the Court exists to ensure that the majority of Americans remain under the control of a minority.
He is undermining the Constitution.

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.

“Can’t believe NYC elected a Muslim as mayor.”
In truth—a Black American Christian woman swearing in a Ugandan American Muslim of South Asian ethnicity as his Syrian American wife holds the Qurans he swears in on, all while standing on the steps of a subway station—is the most NYC thing imaginable.
