My friend Joe’s beautiful story is the story of America.
As the daughter of an immigrant who worked for our Dept. of Defense for 50 years, this is my story too.
Our country is a tapestry.
That’s our strength.
Trump wants to tear us apart.
We can’t & we won’t let him.
We can’t ever forget who we are.

My friend @jojofromjerz.bsky.social suggested I share this video and story from one of the times I got to speak with President Biden (she took the video).
In one of my most happy moments, I got to tell President Biden something my Grandfather Sal told me before he died. 🧵

I think I've said the last thing I'm going to say about Jack Smith's report. (and I haven't said much)
There's nothing useful that's going to come from analyzing this thing to death. What's done...is done. The U.S. got fucked. I'm sick of the whole Goddamn thing.

Honestly? I couldn't give a shit what Jack Smith's report says. It could be pictures of Trump snorting a ten pound block of cocaine off a dead hooker's ass while being soundly rogered from behind by the star of a Tijuana donkey show ridden by Vladimir Putin. So what?

Smith is not making the claim a jury would have convicted. He is restating the standard prosecutors must meet before they can indict, that he believed there was sufficient evidence to obtain & sustain a conviction. The decision is left up to the jury. Justice is done when they have that opportunity.

You can blame Garland if you want to — and I agree that he has faults — but reading through the Smith report on election interference makes one thing clear:
Voter apathy saved Trump from real accountability for the first time in his life.
I hope everyone who stayed home is happy.

1. This "expansion" would require military invasions of several allies in violation of international law.
2. It would violate several treaties.
3. The Louisiana Purchase was the sale of land by a colonial power (France). These are sovereign nations.
