This rich, egoistic buffoon was responsible for using his vast wealth to stock Pennsylvania school boards with loads of wackos. His scheme was later repudiated by voters in Bucks County, where he lives, and Democrats have since won election after local election in the county. But he's still smug.

I don’t own individual stocks, and I won’t own them as governor. The only thing I am invested in is lowering costs for Ohioans. Vivek Ramaswamy has over $5 million invested in the data center industry and millions more in many other industries that Ohio’s governor would be in charge of regulating.

Another way of making this point: The wheels may be coming off the Trump administration and the authoritarian movement energizing it. But a large tractor-trailer barreling down a highway at full speed whose wheels come loose is very dangerous to innocent people in the vicinity.

I will concede that the 2 stupidest Republican senators, Tommy Tuberville and Marsha Blackburn, probably don't know any better. The other 51, including Eric Schmitt, have made a conscious decision to blatantly lie to the American people to boost their careers.

Carefully refusing to acknowledge that antisemitism on the far right and left-and on the streets of NY-is inevitably linked with virulently paranoid claims about Israel and the use of the term "Zionist" as a slur makes it impossible to honestly/effectively grapple with the scourge of antisemitism.

After Shmitt's toxic BS was exposed - and Smith explained that he is a fan of Caitlin Clark - Katie Britt used the occasion to enagage in some casual transphobia, offering a canned paean to the need to protect "girls sports". Schmitt, for his part, "apologized" by calling Smith a "Dirtbag," again...
