A phenomenal moment in the Senate. Eric Schmitt, R-Mo., claims he has evidence Jack Smith went to a HAWKS game in Atlanta. Smith denies it. Schmitt declares he has busted Jack Smith for perjury. Smith, vexed, says he went to HAWKEYES game in Maryland. WATCH IN FULL, UNINTERRUPTED

I finally stopped in at station 11 today. It's a restaurant/bar/coffeeshop in a former historic fire station, hence the name. Although far less busy at 9:00 a.m. on a Saturday morning, it did remind me a bit of a more upscale version of The Vintage on Magazine Street in New Orleans. #photography

It's a dumb line. A show that was on from 2000-2007 is not one of the greatest shows of the 21st century because it also had a few episodes in 1999. God, I hate the @nytimes.com. All of it. Not just the trans bashing and the dishonest framing of so much news, but even the "light" stuff.

After the Civil War, Congress mandated that Southern states could only disenfranchise people over a handful of crimes. But these states quickly ignored those rules and manipulated the criminal legal system to prevent Black people from voting.

A Voting Rights Promise, Betrayed for 156 Years - Bolts
After the Civil War, Congress readmitted Southern states on the condition they not expand felony disenfranchisement—but they quickly ignored the restriction. It has finally caught up with one state, with a federal court ruling against Virginia and reviving the Reconstruction-era promise.
