The irony is that Jack Smith embodies many conservative ideals, from the pre-Trump years: a hard-working, dedicated professional; a Harvard law guy, coming up from pretty ordinary circumstances, playing football and baseball; committed to the rule of law, truth and honesty, and public service.

Mr. Smith Goes to Washington: “You're not gonna have a country where these kind of rules work, if you haven't got men that have learned to tell human rights from a punch in the nose.”

This is absurd and Schmitt should resign out of sheer embarrassment. He won’t, but he should. An incredible moment.

My favorite part of this is how Jack Smith is so utterly baffled by Schmitt's bonkers conspiracy theory that, when Klobuchar is like "the Iowa Hawkeyes, right?", his response is just "uh, I just wanted to see Caitlin Clark play Maryland."

This is correct - personal experiences of needing social services makes people, including policymakers, more opposed to imposing administrative burdens (which is how they are breaking SNAP and Medicaid) academic.oup.com/jpart/articl...
