"It was a lot easier getting this into the White House than it's going to be getting it out... now that everybody's found out the vindictive self-serving douchebag idiot we smuggled in to fix everything is actually nothing but a useless asshole piece of shit." @mrfishcartoons.bsky.social

At a time when the most influential leaders of the U.S. need to stand up loudly and clearly for the rule of law, they are leading the charge in the opposite direction. But not Jack Smith. Kudos to him for continuing to be a much needed voice of clarity.

Jack Smith: "History teaches that the rule of law is rarely destroyed all at once. It's often weakened by attacks on the institutions and the public servants sworn to uphold it. Since January 2025, we have witnessed precisely such an effort."

From 16,000 to 185 to Zero. The Trump admin claimed as many as 16,000 noncitizens had been registered to vote in Nevada. Then DHS came back and said the number was actually 185. This week, Nevada told the admin every single person on the list was a lawful citizen.

DoorDash spent $1.4M trying to stop Zohran Mamdani from becoming mayor. This week's historic $131.5M enforcement action against DoorDash for underpaying NYC delivery workers shows why. Yet another reminder that the only thing that can beat organized money is organized people.

ProPublica dropped the first story in a new series on corruption in Congress, and it starts with Sen. Susan Collins. A defense contractor illegally funneled $150,000 to a pro-Collins PAC. The company’s CEO later pleaded guilty to unlawful campaign contributions.

Mike Rogers refuses to talk about gas, groceries, seeing a doctor, or our broken infrastructure. Mike Rogers only wants to talk about old culture wars fought by small people with smaller ideas and no solutions to our actual problems.

Seems that the punk and the grunge kids are the ones who got all the morals. We didn't suck them out of the likes of Ed Sheeran, I promise. Those with a coloniser mindset gonna act like a coloniser—it's science. This was at Coachella, Ed, which is bigger than any Kraft property 👇🏻

Jeffries: Maria Salazar—she's acting like she had nothing to do with it. You had everything to do with it. You gave ICE the money to violently target law-abiding immigrant families in your community.

It’s insane that people in Congress are paid over $174K a year in taxpayer dollars whilst making millions of dollars from insider trading whilst getting 18 vacations a year as Americans all over the country struggle to pay for rent, gas and groceries.

I remember when polio put my friends into iron lungs. We lined up at school to get vaccinated. We eradicated the disease. We protected the common good and saved lives. Now, two MORE unvaccinated people have died from measles. What RFK Jr. is doing to public health in America is a disgrace.

There have been so many impeachable offenses, but lying about how you were a hero on a day that 2,753 people died in NYC in the 9/11 disaster—when you were on the other side of town, safely calling local media to brag about how you now had the tallest downtown building—is such a despicable one
