The camera cut to Katie Britt right after Eric Schmitt’s attack on Jack Smith turned out to be bogus. Schmitt claimed Jack Smith attended an Atlanta Hawks game in Atlanta. However, the texts were actually about the Iowa Hawkeyes playing Maryland in Maryland.

How does one senator dictate to a country of 340 million people? Senate rules must be reformed.

The internet is erupting in mockery after Eric Schmitt’s spectacular Jack Smith faceplant. Now people are openly speculating: Did his team plant the glowing 2028 story AND coordinate with MAGA influencers in advance, expecting a victory lap that blew up in their faces?

Yep, but not one Democrat has the balls to take on Elon Musk. It's a 90/10 issue. Make him the face of the GOP, oligarchy, hate and AI at the same time.

Why won’t network evening news broadcasts show their audience video of Trump dozing off during press events in the Oval Office in the middle of the day while people are talking, as he’s done dozens and dozen of times? Is that not newsworthy? Is it impolite? Will you lose access?

Whoa! This part makes the story worse. Trump didn’t just appear in taxpayer-funded ads promoting himself and his policies. He personally helped orchestrate them, including helping choose the imagery and video. OUR TAX DOLLARS. HIS PROPAGANDA.

She was being disingenuous. Trump ran on mass deportations and had "mass deportations now" signs at the convention. Salazar supported Trump every step of the way until last week.

Prosecutors made the former CIA director a subject in one criminal investigation while a target of another -- and it could cost them.
