Yes, we thought there was a lot of evidence presented in the J6 hearings...this will dwarf that by hundreds if thousands of documents and video evidence.

Talk about having egg on your face! This is such an embarrassment that Rubio and his band of flunkies should crawl into a hole and chill until the furor over their incompetence dies down...like for 3 years.

I credit Zelinsky with being way too savvy to accept any of the red herrings they are throwing at him. He knows bullshit when he hears it. Hope he stays strong and trusts his European allies...they have their own sovereignty and security at stake as well.

Agree completely! So glad I read to my son; he is now a lifelong reader. I myself was read to by a favorite uncle, and my grandma was the city librarian. I spent many hours with her at the library and she encouraged me to read about a broad range of subjects. I am very thankful for that experience.

Considering Trump rarely smiles, this looks really goofy, like he just huffed laughing gas.

It’s so fucking disorienting watching Trump smile about Mamdani and talk about him positively. In the first admin I’d think this was mind games, but now I think it’s more like when you visit an old folks home and hit it off with one of the old fellas and he starts calling you son.

Mike Johnson conveniently failed to say UNLAWFUL orders. He made it sound like the six congressional members said ALL orders. He is so totally disingenuous!

Would love to see a debate between him and Newsome...Gavin would chew him up and spit him out.

He and Pete Buttigeig are both very good at this...intelligent. articulate and skilled at strategic argumentation. They have a solid space in the public discourse and we need to hear more from them.

Between the kow-towing to Bin Salman and the gala dinners he has been hosting for the Oligarchy Club, it is so apparent that all he cares about is money, money, money, and there is no level he won't stoop to to get more...disgusting!

Can't begin to say how much I appreciate the work your firm is doing to fight for voting rights. Our democracy would truly be lost without it...keep up the outstanding efforts!
