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."

SCOTUS just rejected Trump’s illegal deployment of the National Guard in Chicago, confirming what we knew all along - that turning the military on the American people is a disgusting misuse of our armed forces.

We got lucky this time, but our checks and balances remain under immense strain.
NEW: By a 6-3 vote, the Supreme Court blocks Trump’s deployment of the National Guard to Chicago to assist immigration agents. A majority holds that he likely lacks authority to do so. Thomas, Alito, and Gorsuch dissent. www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/25p...
