Trump's DOJ wants to deploy 1,000 election monitors for the midterms. But are they all trained personnel? “The same people that you saw on the streets in Minneapolis are the people who I am worried they are going to say are now the monitors from the DOJ,” Marc Elias says.

Best moments of the Schmitt/Smith/Klobuchar exchange, ranked: 5. Klobuchar: "We have the Gophers." 4. Klobuchar: "You got the teams wrong, sir." 3. Smith: "It's possible I flew through the Atlanta airport." 2. Klobuchar: "Hmm." 1. Schmitt: "I don't think you know that we have this stuff."

#HeyIowa - don’t be fooled by Hinson’s ploy to distance herself from Trump in all her recent non- stop ads. Here she is in the Oval Office showing who she really works for. Hint: It’s not Iowa

She’s been trying so hard to distance herself from the WH so she can win a senate race and then she’s summoned to the Oval and forced to give remarks after Trump praises her and her MAGAt ways. Don’t see how this will help you, Ashley. 😬

GOP members appeared more focused on Smith's alleged sins against Congress than against Trump. And they (along with friendly Democrats) ultimately gave Smith a platform to bat down the claims they have long raised against him and his team. www.politico.com/news/2026/09...

Republicans wanted Jack Smith to give them a smoking gun. They got a gaffe instead.
The former special counsel’s appearance before the Senate Judiciary Committee was marked by personal insults rather than new revelations.

Jack Smith made it crystal clear that his investigation was sound and lawful, that the president had committed crimes and that the GOP attacks on him were the actual weaponization of our justice system. He showed courage and moral clarity and continues to be one of the heroes of this moment.

I think it's important to note Schmitt has staff he relies on from both his personal office as well as the well-staffed Committee's majority office. This *big-Hawks-game-plan* had to have gone through a dozen people first and no one caught it as being, well, the dumbest god damn thing of all time.

I've been a SA advocate for decades:
NEVER go to campus resources for a SA. Call a rape care hotline/program (off campus), get a SA advocate (they're free), go to a SART hospital for care (and evidence collection if you choose).
They activate the police. Schools have NO business in this process and will minimize and bury it. It's a criminal matter, not an administrative matter.
Period. No exceptions.
