You’re going to get those $5,000 checks from Trump as soon as Eric Schmitt finds proof that Jack Smith was at the Atlanta Hawks game.

BREAKING: Fox News agrees to host a debate between me and Ken Paxton — because the people of Texas deserve it. They're just waiting on Paxton to agree. Ball's in your court, Ken.

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.

When Biden tripped, the media replayed it, analyzed it, and talked about it for months. When Trump falls asleep in the Oval Office every day, networks don’t even cover it. It’s only on social media. Same presidency, very different media coverage.

Sounds about Right…. The reason presidents are limited to two terms is that the last time we had a president who was a Democratic Socialist, the people elected him four straight times!!!

After listening to Eric Schmitt today, I think it's high time we instituted a measure whereby - if a speaking lawmaker makes a brazenly false assertion, an airhorn warning goes off - and if they do it again or double down on it, the floor underneath them opens, swallows them up, and they disappear.

What's especially notable is that after having his nose rubbed deep in the unwashed crack of his own stupidity, the Honorable Senator doubles down and insists Jack Smith is a perjuring dirtball. Even Emily Latella, on being lurched back to reality, offers up a quiet "nevermind."

Gobsmacked by the elite levels of not knowing ball in the Senate today, thinking an NBA team is called the Hawkeyes then, refusing to Google it, then accusing a guy of treason because you didn’t know the Iowa Lady Hawkeyes aren’t in the NBA. Somehow I don’t trust these people to Save Girls Sports.

Sen. Eric Schmitt was so overzealous to try and get Jack Smith, a good and honest man who has done great work, that Schmitt embarrassed himself by accusing Smith of going to the wrong basketball game. You can't make this stuff up. And right wing media will pretend it never happened.

Just a reminder that this is the same Sen. Schmitt who repeatedly claimed that Chief Judge Boasberg was receiving a disproportionate share of Trump-related cases because he confused the D.C. Superior Court (which has 62 judges) with the D.C. district court (which has 15).
