Ken Paxton desperately tried to defend his handling of a child predator case by claiming the defendant “served 60 days.” Then came the Community Note...

1. Eric Schmitt booked this show as a victory lap for his "gotcha" moment revealing "proof" that Jack Smith was at an Atlanta Hawks game. 2. That "proof" blew up in Schmitt's face. 3. Instead of cancelling this appearance, he dishonestly colludes with the hosts to pretend he did have that proof.

Yep. It's not just that Schmitt didn't check the facts, it's that Schmitt then used this accusation to insult & defame Smith, only to then become an asshole when Schmitt was proven wrong. Meanwhile, right-wing outlets are still parroting Schmitt's bullshit as though it was the truth.

What's that? Sen. Eric Schmitt is not just a dirtbag, but an idiotic dirtbag unable to handle basic fact-checking or, indeed, tell the difference between the Hawks and the Hawkeyes? And, when he tried to have his "AHA!" moment only for it to blow up, threw a fit like a true Trumpian toddler? Huh.

In 2027 Seattle's minimum wage will be $22.14 per hour. That's more than THREE TIMES the federal minimum wage of $7.25 an hour—a rate that hasn't been raised since 2009. And yet somehow we're not the jobless wasteland orthodox economics would predict. Weird.

Yeah. Didja know the GOP thinks that guy's a viable VP candidate? I mean, FFS, how embarrassing. Sen. Eric Schmitt is not only desperate for an "AHA!" moment, he's too goddamned stupid to even confirm his own facts before whipping them out for his big moment only to be proved laughably wrong.

The dumbest part of his lies is that, simply, it's so easy to refute them. The scary part is that he might not actually *know* - that he's so insulated from the real world by folks like Natalie & Stephen that he might actually believe he's relaying facts. That should terrify all of us.
