It seems awfully telling that Republicans were unwilling to hold this hearing publicly. It’s not like the case hinged on classified information; they’re just afraid of the public hearing what Smith has to say.
NEW: Jack Smith told lawmakers he developed "proof beyond a reasonable doubt” that Trump engaged in a “criminal scheme” to overturn his election loss.

WTF? ICE is arguing in court that US CITIZENS can be detained, handcuffed, and biometrically screened unless they can prove citizenship on the spot. And that a REAL ID isn't enough. This isn't border security.

Usually, when I need an appointment at the VA, I can get one within 2 weeks. Today, I called for an appointment and the next available is in May, 2026. Firing 35K people will do that. The Trump administration hates veterans.

People really need to know what’s going on with ICE, particularly the many flights within the US, as well as outside, and JJ is tracking it all.
In this ICECAST, I learned there is a 2nd concentration camp in FL north of Jax. I’m pretty well informed but somehow missed this new horror. Follow JJ!

Trump’s Own Mortgage Fraud
In 1993, Trump signed a mortgage for a home in Palm Beach, FL, pledging it would be his principal residence.
Seven weeks later, he got another mortgage for a neighboring property, attesting that it too would be his principal residence.

Rep. Adelita Grijalva was pepper-sprayed by ICE agents during a raid last week.
Remember: ICE is getting $170B in new funding from Trump's Big Ugly Bill and lowering its hiring standards.
If Trump's thugs can do this to a member of Congress, they can do it to you.
