Question: But the president’s statements that he believed the election was rife with fraud—those are statements protected by the First Amendment, correct?
Smith: Absolutely not. If they are made to target a lawful government function and are made with knowing falsity, then no, they are not.

Zelenskyy calls Russia’s claim of a strike on one of Putin’s residences a “complete fabrication,” a lie designed to sabotage diplomacy, justify more attacks on Kyiv, and excuse Moscow’s refusal to end the war. He warns the world must not stay silent as Russia tries to derail peace.

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."

We don’t want our kids dying so defense contractors can get richer. We don’t want to waste trillions overseas while families are struggling here at home.
Democrats should be clear: no more regime change, no more endless war.

Chuck Schumer won't say if he opposes regime change in Venezuela.

It is absolutely wild that the guy who won’t stop yelling about law and order is now personally stepping in to keep January 6 documents hidden from the police officers who were attacked that day. He knows exactly what’s in those files and he is terrified the country will see it.

This pardon is so corrupt on the face it’s laughable to think anyone tries to justify Trump anymore.
The pardons, insults/lack of support to J6 officers, the restitutions/$5M settlement to the family of an rioters, the firing of prosecutors/FBI agents amounts to a betrayal and desecration of the service and sacrifices made to preserve our democracy and the rule of law that MAGA professes to live by
