🤡 Schmitt beclowns himself 🤡 Schmitt concocted an elaborate conspiracy theory that Smith traveled to Atl for a Hawks game and to collude with Fani Willis, & flashed his "evidence" before accusing Smith of perjury. There's just one problem -- his facts were totally wrong. Here's the whole sequence:

It’s really great that Eric Schmitt wasted everyone’s time because he can’t tell the difference between the Atlanta Hawks and the Iowa Hawkeyes, meanwhile people in Missouri are struggling to pay for utilities, gas, groceries, housing, and child care.

Holy sh*t. Sen Schmitt just accused Jack Smith of going to an Atlanta Hawks bball game with the implication that he must of also met with then prosecutor Fani Willis BUT Smith went to an Iowa HAWKEYES game in Maryland instead. This GOP clown show is a disgrace.

This. It has always been this. A sitting American president did this. And because he did this, he should have been convicted and put behind bars. And the fact that we never held him accountable for these crimes will forever stain this country. And we may never recover from it.👇

Oddly enough, the White House Press Corp *did* act like real news organizations today by walking out in protest over thin-skinned Trump's attempt to censor unflattering, accurate news reporting. But they only did that because ham-fisted Trump forced their usually timid hands.

JD Vance defends Trump's ban on the free press: "They're just not going to get an office in the White House anymore, and I think it's totally appropriate -- unless of course they start to behave like real news organizations"

This is going to infuriate Donald, especially with Fox joining the boycott. Donald as a little boy never got enough attention from his wary, selfish parents. As an adult, he is so thirsty for attention—and watches for himself on television CONSTANTLY—being ignored by media is kryptonite.

This is the way. I know it’s a delicate balance between covering legitimate public interest stories and First Amendment concerns, but it’s about time the press showed some balls.

When confronted by current bad economic data showing things getting worse, Republicans blame Biden. When confronted with polls showing dissatisfaction, they say the polls are wrong. When confronted with election results of voter revolts, they say the elections are rigged.

The lawyer for the Venezuelan man shot by ICE yesterday says he was discharged from the hospital and transferred to ICE detention while the bullet was still inside of him, and that in Pearsall he's not received any pain meds and was forced to sleep on the floor.

In Michigan, we're having to skimp on staples at the grocery store like meat and peanut butter just so we can fill up our gas tank for $5 a gallon and pay our outrageous monopoly utility bills.

When Elon Musk's groups spent $20M+ on Wisconsin's 2025 Supreme Court race, his involvement backfired and his candidate lost by 10 points. Now his super PAC has quietly spent $14M+ on key midterm races, including the Texas Senate race. Would be a shame if people found out.

Ken Paxton when asked by a Fox host about his 3 primary residences (out of his 15 homes). This should clear it up! “So, when we bought a new house, we moved our primary residence to – to a house. So that was both were dictated by the Constitution, and then they changed the Constitution."

Here’s your daily reminder that when you go to cast your ballot in November please vote all the way down the ballot. The further down you go, those races really do get closer to your front door and ultimately your wallet. Let’s turn these laboratories of autocracy back into democracy.

It’s mind-blowing that we have literal white nationalists in the White House carrying out unfathomably cruel, abusive, white nationalist policies, and the punditariat has spent the last two weeks debating if some people were too intemperate after a Black man was murdered by cops six years ago.

Ron and Cassie DeSantis: These two crooks stole $10 million from a settlement with a charity, wired it to Cassie’s fake “charity,” laundered it through two puppet organizations, and then used it for political ads in an election year. They should be in jail.

SHOUT-OUT to Political Cartoonist extraordinaire & Member of the Order of Canada Michael de Adder, who routinely does a far better job of holding this administration accountable than the corporate media. Thank you for your attention to his brilliant satirical wit! 🙏 (also: 🤣)
