Political Thread in memory of David Reid. (R.I.P.)

"If the supreme court rules in favor of the “non-African-American” voters and vacates what is left of the Voting Rights Act, as they are expected to, then a decision will probably come down sometime in June, just a few months before the November 2026 midterms. The resulting racial gerrymanders are expected to net Republicans 19 House seats."

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...
In a new letter sent to the House and Senate Judiciary Committees, Smith asked for the public hearings so that he can dispel the "many mischaracterizations" that are now swirling around his investigations into Trump's mishandling of classified records and efforts to overturn the 2020 election. Those investigations led to criminal charges but were ultimately dismissed by a Trump-appointed judge.
Smith's attorneys told the Republican committee leaders that he will need DOJ assurances that he "will not be punished" for testifying since some of the details of his investigations are technically still sealed or protected under grand jury secrecy rules.
Donald Trump and his Republican cronies have relentlessly smeared Jack Smith, but he has steadfastly defended his investigations.
“The idea that politics would play a role in big cases like this, it’s absolutely ludicrous and it’s totally contrary to my experience as a prosecutor,” Smith said previously.
"I think it's important that he's speaking up in a way to kind of demystify what has been grossly misrepresented to the American people by the senators," former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe said on CNN.
These hearings would give Smith a public forum to destroy Trump's lies about him while simultaneously walking the American people through the details of Trump's crimes. It would be a PR disaster for a White House that is already drowning scandals. We have a right to know the full story!
Don't we just.
