This is a helpful summary of Jack Smith's 180-page brief. When you see it all in one place like this, it's obvious that Donald Trump should never be allowed to participate in an election again. He could be allowed to vote. But nothing more.

In a new filing, the special counsel sets out the most detailed evidence yet against Donald Trump in the prosecution of the former president.

According to WSJ, Musk was dumping millions into Stephen Miller's racist and transphobic attack ads within months. www.wsj.com/politics/pol...

In the fall of 2022, more than $50 million of Musk’s money funded a series of advertising campaigns by a group called Citizens for Sanity, according to people familiar with his involvement and tax filings for the group. The bulk of the ads ran in battleground states days before the midterm elections and attacked Democrats on controversial issues such as medical care for transgender children and illegal immigration.

Citizens for Sanity was incorporated in Delaware in June 2022, with salaried employees from Miller’s nonprofit legal group listed as its directors and officers.

Here's the texts to Musk in April 2022 that people suspect were Stephen Miller (bc of the reference to "the boss" and redactions elsewhere). www.documentcloud.org/documents/23...

A set of three texts sent to Elon Musk, one of which talks about "letting right wingers back on Twitter and how to navigate that (especially the boss himself, if you're up for that)." They are time stamped 2022-04-04 starting at 8:52 CDT.

Here's an example of why poll-based journalism makes journalists stupid. 4 people bylined, talking about whether Harris' far bigger spending & resources will made a difference. ~35¶¶. First and last ¶¶ are about polling, as are 4 others and a nifty graphic. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Harris is running a much bigger campaign than Trump. Will it matter?

She spends three times as much, employs hundreds more staff and dominates the ad war. But the race is effectively tied.
