In the NYT's third headline, the perjury scheme finally gets top billing: "Mr. Schmitt focused on the basketball game in the hopes that he could show Mr. Smith had perjured himself and was involved in a conspiracy with local Atlanta prosecutors to ensnare Mr. Trump." www.nytimes.com/2026/09/29/u...
As Jack Smith Testifies, a Senator’s Accusation of Perjury Falls Apart

A Republican eager to prove the former special counsel was dishonest appeared to instead demonstrate his own confusion over basic facts.

Mike Rogers told Michiganders he was an assembly line autoworker who made Chrysler LeBarons. Turns out it was a complete lie. Shameful.

Mike Rogers claims he was an assembly line worker. The UAW said that is stretching the truth. • Michigan Advance
Rogers says he built Chrysler vehicles on an assembly line. Records show his work was at an aftermarket facility that modified vehicles after they left the factory.

Pathologist Dr. Elizabeth Stern's pioneering research in cytopathology transformed cervical cancer from a frequently fatal disease into a highly treatable and preventable disease. Her research revolutionized women’s healthcare. She was born #OTD in 1915. #WomenInSTEM
A black-and-white portrait of Canadian-American pathologist Dr. Elizabeth Stern (1915–1980), whose pioneering research in cytopathology transformed cervical cancer into a preventable disease. Dr. Stern is positioned slightly at an angle, facing forward with a calm, composed, and serious expression. Her dark hair is styled in a short, neat wave off her forehead, and her gaze is directed toward the camera. She wears a dark, simple collared blouse with subtle dotted textures. The composition focuses entirely on her upper shoulders and head against a stark, light-colored, uncluttered background that provides a high-contrast framing. The lighting is soft and even, highlighting her facial features. The overall mood is formal, dignified, and academic, capturing a historic visual record of an influential woman in STEM.
