This matters. A full slate drives turnout, especially in a state with chronic voter apathy.

My main takeaway from the Jack Smith testimony: we should push our presidential candidate to make him Attorney General in 2029.

The thing about the tidbits getting released about Trump (via Epstein files), is that the stuff just confirms that he is the dirtbag we always knew he was.

But, based on what has come out so far, I seriously doubt we have heard/seen the worst of it yet.

This is the key. You can win some elections, but you can't force people to like or respect you; ironically, Trump's people want that respect from people they claim to care nothing about. They don't hate the "elites" - they envy that club, and they're mad because money and power can't buy them in.
Trumpers have a howling void of angry insecurity where a soul should be. Unchecked power tastes like ashes in their mouth because they thought when they got it everyone would be forced to like and admire them even though they’re irredeemable assholes. But people still treat them like assholes.

This is called "freedom" and it's pissing off the new Commissars who believe that artists must perform at the State's command
Issa Rae has canceled her sold out performance at the Kennedy Center. Pulitzer Prize winner Rhiannon Giddens, Peter Wolf, Low Cut Connie, and the Gay Men’s Chorus of Washington, D.C., have also canceled. Lin-Manuel Miranda has canceled the entire Kennedy Center run of Hamilton.

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

"Doing so will ensure that the American people can hear the facts directly from Mr. Smith, rather than through second-hand accounts."

As you know, I am an expert on letters/documents. This one is an obvious fake, clearly made by someone in the days after Epstein died as a very sick joke. The content is preposterously ridiculous in every way and the postmark is from North Virginia. DOJ obv wants it out there for the reason below.
I deleted my post about alleged letter from Epstein to Nassar because I’m concerned about its authenticity and I’m worried that sharing it may help the DoJ damage the credibility of other documents if it turns out to be a forgery.

5. These people are all incredibly stupid but also venal but also certain they can get away with it. Maybe they can, but it’s game over for Trump with this latest Epstein dump and the ever shittier polls, so the timing of these nincompoops is exquisitely boneheaded.

This is an excellent explanation of how unbelievably incompetent and full on nonsense the note from Weiss was. My guess: 1. Someone who has very little experience is journalism (and not the stuff that tickles billionaires) is clearly a mile wide and foot deep as an editor and in far over her skis.
Watching the segment: The first thing I'm going to zero in on is the crime stats. Here's how 60 Minutes set it up:
- Leavitt saying the people going to CECOT were the worst of the worst
- Then 60 Minutes saying the Human Rights Watch report says that nearly half had no criminal history at all
Here's the rest of Bari Weiss' memo. "We do not present the administration's argument for why it sent 252 Venezuelans to CECOT," and on Sec. Noem's trip "no comment from her or her staff about what her goal on that trip was... or if she had or has concerns about the treatment of detainees." LOL!

This is entirely to please Trump, who has voiced criticism of 60 Minutes under the new owners, who are the definition of rank amatuers, emphasis on rank. This Stephen Miller interview suggestion is idiotic in the context of this story and shows a startling lack of sophistication or smarts.

Doing another piece with Miller later is fine, but to add him here after the administration declines to officially have any comment is a suck up gimme. The real word we are looking for here is complicit.

As Republicans play defense by risking a Sleepy Trump in front of people as the cameras roll (get ready for the inevitable gaslighting, name calling and 😴 clips), here’s the hard truth:
Americans are facing food lines 4x the national average, and medical bankruptcy.
