Donald Trump is lost. He has no idea what he’s doing at any time, but he’s gotten so far by extreme bullshitting it’s all he can do. And he’s surrounded himself with groveling sycophants and sadistic racist psychos, so there’s nobody to step in and be a fucking grown-up about any of this.

Eric Schmitt could have defused the shitstorm heading his way if he simply backed down and apologized for getting his facts wrong. Instead he doubled down like a fucking idiot and made himself look even worse. The Republican way.

The Self-Beclownment of Sen. Eric Schmitt
I know, I know, another Meidas video, but this was such a classic moment of Republican self-beclownment it needs to be a post. Watch the interns behind Schmitt as they realize they're probably getting fired. MeidasTouch host Ben Meiselas reports on the GOP’s cross-examination of Jack Smith backfiring almost instantly. Senator Eric Schmitt’s attempted gotcha unraveled when he confused the Iowa Hawkeyes with the Atlanta Hawks. Senator Graham’s questioning about her late brother prompted Smith to say he would ...

BREAKING: SCOTUS allows the Trump admin to restart third-country removals under a policy found by lower courts to violate federal law. The Democratic appointees dissent. The deportations will be OK'ed at least through the next several months, with SCOTUS agreeing to hear the case in December.
CERTIORARI GRANTED
DEPT. OF HOMELAND SEC., ET AL. V. D.V.D., ET AL.
The application for stay presented to Justice Jackson and
by her referred to the Court is granted. The February 25, 2026
order and judgment of the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts, case No. 1:25-cv-10676, are stayed.
The application is also treated as a petition for a writ of
certiorari, and the petition is granted. The parties are directed to brief and argue the following questions: (1) Whether
the district court had jurisdiction over Respondents' claims.
(2) Whether the district court had authority to enter classwide declaratory relief and APA vacatur under 8 U. S. C. §1252(f) (1).
(3) Whether the Government's Guidance on third-country removals
is unlawful under 8 U.S. C. §1231(b), the Due Process Clause, or FARRA/CAT and its implementing regulations. (4) Such other
questions that the Government determines are appropriate for the
proper disposition of the case. The Clerk is directed to
establish a briefing schedule that will allow the case to be argued in the December 2026 argument session. The stay shall
terminate upon the sending down of the judgment of this Court.
Justice Sotomayor, Justice Kagan, and Justice Jackson would deny the application for stay.
