🤡 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:

The idea that 82% of pregnant women who got vaccinated against Covid had miscarriages doesn't pass the smell test. That would have been 4 out of 5 pregnancies.

I see a pretty strong difference between waving a flag at a no kings rally or a protest, vs being visibly, overtly draped in an american flag other times at least among my group, having a flag shirt or bumpersticker - outside of a protest context - would be seen as one stop off of wearing a red hat

Good God, this man holds the most powerful position in the world. He has the nuclear codes. He has access to the most knowledgeable experts in any given topic. And this is the shit he not only goes through his head, but thinks is worthy of broadcasting publicly. Just a world-class embarrassment.

We need to start demanding he release the full results of these tests. Not that I don't necessarily think he passed them. But the public needs to see, in black and white, what the hell he's bragging about passing.

I'm sure I'm not the first person to observe this, but the irony of it all just hit me this morning. Donald Trump is obsessed with the Nobel Peace Prize. Why is he obsessed with the NPP? Because Barack Obama won it. Why did Obama win the Nobel Peace Prize? Because he wasn't George W. Bush.

For most of my adult life, very broadly speaking, it has usually been the case that partisans and people who don’t get in the weeds of policy want to see politics through the lens of a simple, cartoonish moral binary with a good side & an evil side. And *usually* it’s more complicated than that.

The MAGA base has long been ok with othering groups because, for the most part, they're insulated from that othering. But I know some MAGA personally where this will hit home. Whether or not they turn a blind eye to it or dismiss it as "just words," we'll see.

"If the person is a U.S. citizen or otherwise lawfully in the United States, that individual will be free to go after the brief encounter." --Brett Kavanaugh, Noem v. Vasquez Perdomo www.chicagotribune.com/2025/11/03/c...
Dayanne Figueroa was on her way to get coffee before heading to work when she encountered a chaotic scene in West Town: heavily armed, masked federal agents making arrests on a residential street. 
People yelled as vehicles honked their horn — a sign now used to alert neighbors that immigration federal agents are in the area — and witnesses said federal agents had arrested several landscaper workers presumed to be in the country without authorization. 
As Figuero tried to drive through the 1600 block of West Hubbard Street on Friday, Oct. 10, an unmarked vehicle driven by federal agents collided with Figueroa’s as it tried to speed away from a hostile crowd, multiple videos reviewed by the Tribune show. 
Seconds after the crash, agents abruptly stopped their vehicle and exited with weapons in hand pointing at Figueroa, a U.S citizen. Agents then forcibly opened her door and pulled her out of the vehicle by her legs without identifying themselves, presenting a warrant or informing her that she was under arrest. As bystanders yelled, “You hit her! We have it on video!” agents ignored the crowd and forced Figueroa into a red minivan and drove away. 
Her car was left behind in the middle of the road, her coffee still in the cup holder, and her keys in plain view.
The Department of Homeland Security later released a statement claiming that Figueroa was at fault, saying “she crashed into an unmarked government vehicle and violently resisted arrest, injuring two officers.”

Media framing the Gaza deal and other international affairs around Trump’s quest for the Nobel peace prize highlights how much news and public discourse have become warped around one man’s pathologies. Whether he gets praise is one of the least important thing about this. Me, in @msnbc.com:
msnbc.com
Opinion | Trump’s Nobel peace prize campaign is the least important part of the Gaza deal
If the ceasefire holds, the administration deserves much credit. But the fixation on Trump getting a prize distracts from things that actually matter.
