Warren on data centers: Republicans are with the big tech guys and those boys want to be able to come in and build whatever they want to build, and they don't want to pay for the consequences.

Jack Smith: "Our investigation developed proof beyond a reasonable doubt that President Trump engaged in serious crimes against our nation ... rather than accept his defeat in the 2020 election, he engaged in a criminal scheme to overturn the results and prevent the lawful transfer of power"

Dear god... GOP Sen. Eric Schmitt clearly loses his shit after it's revealed by Sen. Klobuchar that Schmitt confused the Iowa Hawkeyes college basketball team with the Atlanta Hawks NBA team in his attempt to claim Jack Smith was in Atlanta and colluded with Fani Willis. I'm gobsmacked. Holy shit.

Warren: "This has been their argument every time -- they cut taxes and say, 'Ultimately it's really going to pay off for you.' What's happened every time? The academics study it very carefully and say, 'What really happened is the richest people got richer and everybody else got left behind.'"

Holy sh*t. Sen Schmitt just accused Jack Smith of going to an Atlanta Hawks bball game with the implication that he must of also met with then prosecutor Fani Willis BUT Smith went to an Iowa HAWKEYES game in Maryland instead. This GOP clown show is a disgrace.
