That cocky, misplaced look of smug success on Senator Eric Schmitt’s face—moments before everything came crashing down around him because he’s so carelessly incompetent.

🤡 Schmitt beclowns himself 🤡 Schmitt concocted an elaborate conspiracy theory that Smith traveled to Atl for a Hawks game and to collude with Fani Willis, & flashed his "evidence" before accusing Smith of perjury. There's just one problem -- his facts were totally wrong. Here's the whole sequence:

Gibney on his Musk documentary at VFF. Glad this doc will get out there because Musk has always been a conman and a cancer on society. apnews.com/article/2026...
From linked AP News article:
"
In fact, Gibney told The Associated Press he started off as a kind of admirer — as well as a Tesla owner — and sincerely wanted to talk to Musk for the film.

“Ultimately, he didn’t want to talk to me,” Gibney said. “But then you start, you know, digging into the facts and you follow them where they lead. And where they led, for me, was to a place that upended the myth, I would say, of Elon Musk as a kind of modern Leonardo da Vinci … I think that the news in this film is that Musk isn’t an inventor. He’s a confidence man.”

On Aug. 11, the contiguous U.S. set a record for min temps using the Climate Shift Index, with 82% of the lower 48 experiencing the largest spatial extent of overnight heat influenced by climate change (≥1). This will only become even more common and impactful if we continue to burn fossil fuels.
Graphic showing the Climate Shift Index for August 11, 2026 using data from the 18z GFS model for minimum temperatures. The graphic shows the change in likelihood due to climate change across the contiguous United States, which is called the Climate Shift Index. Many areas are seeing minimum temperatures being at least 1-5x more likely due to climate change. This tool is available at https://csi.climatecentral.org/climate-shift-index from Climate Central.
