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.

Jack Smith: "History teaches that the rule of law is rarely destroyed all at once. It's often weakened by attacks on the institutions and the public servants sworn to uphold it. Since January 2025, we have witnessed precisely such an effort."

Trump flew to Tennessee for an easy Saturday afternoon in a state he’s won three times, and a stadium full of football fans booed him. He pumped his fist at the Jumbotron and left at halftime. Back in Washington, Rep. Steve Cohen filed 26 articles of impeachment laying out the case against him

OMG I'm watching Meet the Press and I just saw a full-blown Trump commercial, and it said "paid for by the United States Government". How is it legal for our tax dollars to be paying for that? I heard this was happening but I hadn't seen it in person live on TV.

As an American political historian, I can confirm that this Congress has been "almost unmatched in history" in several categories -- sad abdication of its war powers, craven surrender of the power of the purse, weird refusal to conduct meaningful oversight, and an utter failure to pass actual laws.

If NFL owners want to censor who performs in stadiums, they shouldn't ask taxpayers to help build them. You can't take public subsidies for stadiums then use them as your personal editorial board. Pay for it all out of your own pocket and hold as many Kid Rock concerts as you want to.
