The 2020 election has been relentlessly studied by our most experienced experts and by our most craven partisan hacks for 6y now, and every examination has wound up demonstrating the integrity of Biden’s victory in that election and the malignity of Trump’s obsession with undermining it.

I also think about Elon saying Biden's DOJ wouldn't prosecute Sam Bankman-Fried because he was a Dem donor... followed by Biden's DOJ nailing SBF, who now posts about how awesome Trump is so he can get a pardon.

🤡 Schmitt beclowns himself 🤡 Schmitt concocted an elaborate conspiracy theory that Smith traveled to Atl for a Hawks game and to collude with Fani Willis, & flashed his "evidence" before accusing Smith of perjury. There's just one problem -- his facts were totally wrong. Here's the whole sequence:

NEW: It's hard these days for members of Congress to transcend the news cycle with viral moments in committee hearings. Sen. Schmitt today raised the bar with an allegation against Jack Smith that imploded in real time. w/ Chris Marquette www.politico.com/news/2026/09...

Republicans wanted Jack Smith to give them a smoking gun. They got a gaffe instead.

The former special counsel’s appearance before the Senate Judiciary Committee was marked by personal insults rather than new revelations.

A phenomenal moment in the Senate. Eric Schmitt, R-Mo., claims he has evidence Jack Smith went to a HAWKS game in Atlanta. Smith denies it. Schmitt declares he has busted Jack Smith for perjury. Smith, vexed, says he went to HAWKEYES game in Maryland. WATCH IN FULL, UNINTERRUPTED

Sen. Dick Durbin, top-ranking Judiciary Democrat, reacts to Eric Schmitt's moment, calling it "so embarrassing" for the institution. "We want to get the facts straight. I'm sorry the senator said that." Durbin, a 30-year incumbent, says he's never seen an error like that before.

How clear is it that Trump's taxpayer funded ads are illegal? I explain why it is 10/10 clear. Senate in passing the law: Ban is designed to stop public funds used for "glorification" of an individual official. GAO: funds can not be used for "self-aggrandizement" nor partisan political purposes.

Agree with Greg‘s general point. But let me ask the hard question about moral hazard: if the likes of Zuck or Jensen (or Dartmouth or Paul Weiss) pay no price for having kowtowed to Trump, won’t they end up looking smart for having done so? And if we want to curb this moral hazard, what must we do?

Unbelievable how stupid most voters are

Erica, 40, Republican, Latino, customer service
I wanted life to be affordable and for things to be
"great" again.
Moderator, Kristen Soltis Anderson
You put your hands up to do quotes around "great."
What would great have looked like to you?
Erica, 40, Republican, Latino, customer service
Just affordable living at the cost of what they've said before, the cost of our groceries going down, just higher-paying jobs, better opportunities, health insurance.

Sebastian, 50, independent, white, utility manager
I was hoping he would learn from the first time. All politicians lie and tell you what you want to hear. But I voted for him because he was something different.
He spoke the truth. He spoke what was on his mind.
That's what appealed the first time. I was hoping the second time around, he learned something from his mistakes and learned something from, OK, now l know how to really fix this and it's not going to be the same old, same old. I felt like I was just picking the lesser of two evils. I went with the one that I was in line with more as far as economics. And was thinking that he would fix those, which doesn't seem to be the case.

Pam, 66, Republican, white, retired
I just thought he was the lesser of two evils. I don't like his rhetoric. And I don't like that he doesn't tell the truth a lot. But I thought he's a business person and he would have a better way to fix our economy,
or at least get it moving in the right direction.

Hitesh, 57, Republican, Asian, looking for work
In the first term, he was very business friendly. He reduced the corporate tax, which allowed a lot of companies to invest in the U.S. and grow their businesses, give more jobs. And they pumped that money back into the economy. As a result, things, the stock market, everything, the economy grew. I thought he would use the same business acumen to be business friendly. But starting with the tariffs, I'm like, man, this makes no sense what he's doing. And then the war, the Iran war, all the issues that are trickling down from that decision into the energy crisis that we are going to be facing, and that's - affordability? He promised there would be no more skirmishes that we'd waste dollars on and lives on.

Southpaw adds: Melania and Trump each look into the camera lens; Trump is intensely bug eyed and stiff while Melania looks desolated and betrayed. Xi watches them impassively.
