It's amazing how Trump, the lunatic, will spout off the stupidest things (50 year mortgages, $2,000 tariff rebate checks, $10,000 for all the good air traffic controllers who didn't "call out") and the media then feels the need to analyze the idiocy as if it somehow plausible.

Paid a Colombian tea grower $1,500 for a shipment. Got billed $150 by the Trump administration at the border. *I* got billed. Not the tea growers. Not the Colombian government. Me. The American business owner. I paid the Trump tax.

In the last two days, Elon Musk and Donald Trump have BOTH endorsed Andrew Cuomo. They are so scared of Zohran Mamdani winning NYC!

They're going to look like shit tomorrow, and do you know why? Because New York City has had enough of Donald Trump Elon Musk and Andrew fucking Cuomo!!

Tomorrow would be a great day for Mike Johnson to swear in Adelita Grijalva so we can find out whether some of these donations from oligarchs and nepo babies to Trump were made because they are in the Epstein files which Trump and House Republicans are hiding from the people.

It’s been tossed out there that Jack Smith should be invited to testify to every Blue State legislature in America in regards to Republican violations of state election laws.

The MAGAS might just claim Jack Smith is lying, and their followers would believe it. I hope Jack Smith does testify. All those people who investigated know what they found out.

If Republicans in Congress are too terrified to let Jack Smith testify, then Gavin Newsom should get the California legislature to do it

He’s already made public statements and issued a public report, so it shouldn’t be a problem

You can just imagine Trump’s social media explosion if this happens
🇺🇸 I don't want to overstate this, but any testimony from Jack Smith into Trump's attack on America would be a bombshell that would rock this country.
It is vital we know what led to Jan. 6, and Trump's part in it.
One way or the other, this MUST come out, and I salute Smith for coming forward.

Former special counsel Jack Smith is asking to testify in an open hearing.
Let the truth come out, the American people deserve transparency — and we have a right to know if Trump incited or led an insurrection against our own country.

Andrew Weissmann is an NYU law professor and former US States Attorney and Jack Smith is former Special Counsel for the United States Department of Justice investigating Trump's role in January 6th.
If you haven't seen Jack Smith's interview with NYU law professor Andrew Weissmann, I highly recommend it.

A must-see, actually.

It's exceptionally insightful and infuriating.

BREAKING: Jack Smith brilliantly calls Donald Trump's bluff and urges Congress and the Justice Department to let him testify publicly "in open hearings" to set the record straight.

This is the last thing that MAGA wants the former special counsel to do...

Trump wants Jack Smith in jail.

Yet Merrick Garland, who appointed Jack Smith, isn't on Trump's enemies list.

Funny how that is.

Guarantee Garland slow-walked everything related to Trump's crimes by design and by agreement with the GOP.
