🤡 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:

Okay. I’m out of jokes. John Kennedy talking about throwing up in his mouth made me throw up in mine. Eric Schmitt is a moron. Katie Britt is the Stepford wife we never asked for, and the GOP should stop wasting everyone’s time with performative bullshit when people are scared and suffering.

For every arrest that breaks through into public view, countless others happen quickly, before anyone can notice. Now ICE is anywhere and everywhere, embedded in all corners of everyday life.

Gone in 90 seconds: an ‘invisibilized’ ICE is arresting more people than ever
After public backlash, the Trump administration changed its tactics from ‘siege’ to ‘soft feet’. Now, ICE is everywhere

But an increasing proportion of arrests have been made by local law enforcement in partnership with ICE, via 287(g) agreements. In many regions, it can be difficult to know when local officers are conducting routine policework or immigration enforcement. In many cases, they are doing both.

It’s a cult.
Mr. Trump's cabinet of curiosities wears matching $145
Florsheim Oxfords, gifted by the president himself.
They're reportedly eating the same "living diet," which consists almost entirely of hunks of meat and globs of sauerkraut. (Adherents are said to include: Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick, Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy, Vice President JD Vance, and Robert F. Kennedy Jr. himself). Mr. Trump's favorite aide, Ms. Harp, passes the president positive news coverage and good polls like she's the "Mean Girls" gossip Gretchen Wieners. Other White House staffers and cabinet members have begun to emulate the president's leggy blond echo chamber cultivator, so much so that the White House has been overtaken by a kind of sycophancy Olympics; members of Trump's inner circle never miss the chance to praise him in televised cabinet meetings.

@sarahkendzior.bsky.social warned us all.
“Once an autocrat gets into office, it is very hard to get them out. They will disregard term limits, they will purge the agencies that enforce accountability, they will rewrite the law so that they are no longer breaking it. They will take your money, they will steal your freedom, and if they are clever, they will eliminate any structural protections you had before the majority realizes the extent of the damage.”
