Sen. Eric Schmitt is an international laughingstock. He’s up for reelection in 2028, so we’ll have to work on him later.

You’re going to get those $5,000 checks from Trump as soon as Eric Schmitt finds proof that Jack Smith was at the Atlanta Hawks game.

Senators should also be held under oath to tell the truth and face criminal consequences if they lie The maximum penalty should be levied against any public servant that expoits the truth The fact this is controversial shows how corrupt our system is

Sen. Eric Schmitt was so overzealous to try and get Jack Smith, a good and honest man who has done great work, that Schmitt embarrassed himself by accusing Smith of going to the wrong basketball game. You can't make this stuff up. And right wing media will pretend it never happened.

This one will unquestionably stick to Schmitt nationally. A massive fuck up is one thing. But this one crossed containment into the sports world. People outside Missouri will see this dude and what will be the first thing they think? Hawks-Hawkeyes-Caitlin.

So plausible process: *Schmitt's staff get texts from security guy Wallach via FBI/DOJ *Look for something incriminating, find a text chain about a Hawks/Hawkeye game *Assume this was the Hawks in Atlanta *Dropped Fani Wallis into the story, with zero evidence So thin! www.ms.now/liveblog/jac...

I think the Senate Judiciary Hearing today, where they tried…in vain…to smear Jack Smith, was better than anything else that could have taken place to boost voter turnout for democracy. I think it reminded a lot of people just how much they hate these swindlers…and why.

This is priceless. Check out how local news is reporting on Sen Eric Schmidt’s clown-show grilling of Jack Smith. They found Jack Smith at the game… “Top corner, section 109, row 1. In fact, that seat doesn’t even exist in Atlanta.”

Schmitt was a traitorous January 6th co-conspirator: "In 2020, Schmitt was among 17 Republican attorneys general who joined Texas attorney general Ken Paxton in suing Georgia, Michigan, Wisconsin, & Pennsylvania to invalidate their electoral votes in the 2020 United States presidential election. "

America had wiped out measles. Now babies are infected at birth.
Congenital measles has rarely been seen in the U.S. That’s changing as vaccination declines and more pregnant women become infected.
