The point in the hearing **before Schmitt even knows he mixed up the basketball games** where he quickly takes down the poster and tries to hide it, while Dick Durbin asks if everyone can see the evidence Schmitt is trying to brag about, still gets to me.

So "Pastor" Locke opportunistically used this obvious lie to get himself a tax-free overseas boondoggle to get some more attention? The money could have gone to the poor, as Jesus instructed "Pastor" Locke, but "Pastor" Locke has other priorities—himself. Glory!

Pappas: It’s a golden age if you’re Don Jr. getting a Russian oligarch to pay for a wedding reception, but for the rest of us, it doesn’t feel like that. They can put out whatever numbers they want. The American people know that this is a totally incompetent president who is estranged from reality.

Above the photo reads a quote from Bernie reading, "Peggy Flanagan has got the guts to stand up for working people against billionaires and corporate interests. Peggy knows what it is to struggle.

It was a perjury trap. They assumed the absence of any evidence that Smith had been to Atlanta was evidence of a secret meeting, that he would try to deny. Talk about getting high on their own supply. The mind boggles.

Here‘s your reminder that Speaker Mike Johnson sent the House home early so they wouldn’t have to vote on Pete Hegseth’s impeachment before the midterms. Republicans were terrified that they’d have to face voters and explain why they were covering for a racist, sexist, war-losing piece of crap.
