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.

This is *the* piece. Kate Manne, professor of philosophy at Cornell, speaks truth to the totality of failures at the university — and why students protesting the war in Gaza have faced far harsher consequences than any of the Cornell 7: www.thecut.com/article/what...

What It Feels Like at Cornell Right Now
As a professor at the Ivy League school, Kate Manne has known many, many victims. There’s a palpable feeling on campus, she writes, that this is big.

It's inconceivable to me how someone who lost in a free & fair election can incite an angry mob to attack his own government, (the very definition of treason) & be allowed to run for any office ever again.

THIS WAS MONEY FOR CHILDREN’S HEALTHCARE. A Florida grand jury found $10 MILLION meant to help provide health insurance for poor children was misappropriated for political purposes. Moody & DeSantis took money meant for kids. #GOPWarOnHealthcare

Evening falls across Sunderland's river Wear and the glowing red horizontal band in the sky, opposite the setting sun, is called the 'Belt of Venus', caused by sunlight backscattered off particles high up in the atmosphere. #england #sunderland #landscape #evening #september #autumn #photography
Capturing the red afterglow in the eastern sky after the sun has set in the west. The narrow band of pinkish red is often referred to as the 'Belt of Venus', caused by sunlight being backscattered off dust, particles, and air molecules high up in the atmosphere. The darker area directly beneath the 'belt' is actually the Earth's shadow as it rises into the atmosphere.

Calling something “illegal” only matters if the law is actually enforced. Mike Johnson and the Supreme Court need to enforce it. No president should be free to ignore the law to punish enemies, reward allies, and enrich himself.
