😳FFS! Thankfully, everyone at home was safe.

“Special counsel #JackSmith, who is overseeing the prosecution of #Trump in two federal cases, was the target of an attempted swatting at his Maryland residence on Christmas Day.

According to two law enforcement sources, someone called 911 and said that Smith had shot his wife at the address where Smith lives.”

#Trump said "Democrats are able to kill the baby after birth." Beyond this being a truly dumb lie, here are facts.

My baby was killed after birth because of #GunViolence. Republicans, by blocking gun violence prevention, apparently support killing babies after birth.

Polls are meaningless right now. But Dem strategist Chris D. Jackson is making a point here:

🚨 BREAKING A new Reuters/Ipsos poll out today shows President Biden leading Donald Trump by 4 points in the swing states of Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Arizona, Georgia, Nevada, Michigan, and North Carolina.

Will the media cover this poll as much as they have others that haven't been as favorable to Biden? 🤷

FYI.

Via Elie Mystal:

#SCOTUS will hear arguments in a case designed to kill the wealth tax. I'll say again... there is nothing that you care about that the #SupremeCourt cannot destroy while you aren't watching.

Of course we are now debating the definition of the word "income" based on studies of "law & linguistics." :( Textualism is so fucking stupid sometimes.

Jackson asks the right question: "Why are we talking about the common meaning of income instead of the legal meaning?" #legal
