Scoop — I've ID'd the two men sitting behind Sen. Eric Schmitt during his botched attack on Jack Smith this morning. Ethan Harper (left) is Chief Counsel to Schmitt, and Andrew Ceonzo (right) is Counsel to Schmitt and the Senate Judiciary Committee.

A phenomenal moment in the Senate. Eric Schmitt, R-Mo., claims he has evidence Jack Smith went to a HAWKS game in Atlanta. Smith denies it. Schmitt declares he has busted Jack Smith for perjury. Smith, vexed, says he went to HAWKEYES game in Maryland. WATCH IN FULL, UNINTERRUPTED

The matter-of-fact way she asks what investors should do if Trump destroys Iran. Absolutely wild. "Let's talk about tonight, this deadline that President Trump has set 8 p.m., has threatened to destroy a civilization. How does an investor process that? Is it a bigger upside risk or downside risk?"

I’m sorry, doing this in a baseball cap sold by your campaign store is deliberately disrespecting the dead.

The families of the six US Army Reserve soldiers who were killed this week in Kuwait watched as their loved ones were brought home during a dignified transfer at Dover Air Force Base in Delaware on Saturday. https://cnn.it/40mKmU2

Good news that the execrable Kristi Noem has been fired, but Trump should really be firing Stephen Miller, the primary engineer of the vile ethnic reengineering agenda and murderously violent civic tensions that are sucking all of them into a bottomless political sinkhole, Trump included.

This is a president willing to burn down democracy in America in order to keep himself out of jail.

Trump: "The Republicans MUST DO, with PASSION, and at the expense of everything else, THE SAVE AMERICA ACT - And not the watered down version. This is a Country Defining fight for the Soul of our Nation!"

If you’re a Democrat in Congress who is considering supporting Trump’s illegal war in Iran, please consider self-immolation instead.

The NYT Daily did an episode on Charlie Kirk the day after he was killed. 4 days after Renee Good was killed...NYT Daily's done: an episode on RFK and vaccines, "An Interview the the President," interview with George Saunders, and a show about last year's California wildfires. Nothing on Renee Good.

The reactionary centrist logic is simple: if the left does something bad it’s the left’s fault, and if the right does something bad, it’s also the left’s fault for making them do it. It’s a simple formula and once you see it every one of their arguments is the same

This past year ICE arrested and put zip ties on children Shot *priests* in the head with nonlethal rounds Raided an entire apartment building (which led to zero arrests) And today, proved Tim Walz right by shooting and killing a woman-a citizen-in Minneapolis Republicans When does it end

Walz: "Do you have no decency? We have someone dead in their car for no reason whatsoever. I don't want to be right about this, but I said if they do this they're gonna create a chaotic situation where someone innocent is gonna get killed. And they did it."

5 years after the J6 attack on the Capitol, the threat to American democracy hasn't faded, it's grown more dangerous. Political violence has surged, trust in democratic institutions has plummeted to historic lows, and leading democracy experts now classify the U.S. as an "electoral autocracy."

Three million people live in Caracas, five million in the metro area. It's one of the densest cities in South America. Remember this in the morning when they try to spin this as anything other than a cold-blooded attack on a major civilian center.

Remember when we were all about taking down terrorists and the networks that financed them? Now they get red carpet treatment at the White House, presidential pardons and investment opportunities with America. Times sure have changed.

As David explains here, the idea that the WH which has repeatedly defied Congress, bogarted its budget authority, decreed certain laws don't count, abolished whole depts will simply say, "welp congress passed a law so I guess we have to turn over the videos of Trump w teens" doesn't really hold up.

No one should have to face such threats. It would’ve been nice if Greene had realized this before she amplified and endorsed calls for executing Nancy Pelosi and Barack Obama.
