How embarrassing that it was a woman (Amy) who knew that he was so misinformed that he confused the Iowa Hawkeyes with the Atlanta Hawks. Amy, my future Governor, was awesome! We know our sports in my State! What a sickening display of a petulant child. Please vote! 🗳️

What did we learn today? That Jack Smith is a Caitlin Clack fan and that Senator Eric Schmitt is a dirtbag! The senator mistook the Atlanta Hawks for the Iowa Hawkeyes and tried to accuse Jack Smith of perjury. Epic fail. I'm still a fan of Jack Smith. A real American patriot. 🇺🇸

WSJ Exclusive: The Trump admin used federal funds from the Department of Homeland Security to finance those controversial pro-Trump ads that started airing on TV. The taxpayer money used to fund the ads came from U.S. Customs and Border Protection.

Holy sh*t. Sen Schmitt just accused Jack Smith of going to an Atlanta Hawks bball game with the implication that he must of also met with then prosecutor Fani Willis BUT Smith went to an Iowa HAWKEYES game in Maryland instead. This GOP clown show is a disgrace.

If one exercises a modicum of thoughtfulness, it’s easy to understand it could have pursued the war much differently. Dropping bombs indiscriminately with no concern for naza, and shooting and killing innocent people, and terrorizing West Bank inhabitants was not the only solution.

Refusing to let Macklemore perform bc he said “free Palestine” even as he wrongly conflates criticism of Israel and antisemitism, and will render antisemitism meaningless. The gov’t of Israel and groups like the Israel-American Council are crying wolf and will cause real antisemitism to increase.

Omg. WTF is Happening? @lalahaenzy.bsky.social · 14/09/2026
Macklemore has been dropped from Ed Sheeran’s tour for being outspoken about Palestine. I’m obvs not worried about these two people interpersonally, but rather, I’m deeply concerned with how antisemitism is being weaponized. P!nk was dragged for expressing genuine fear This is all by design ya know
A screenshot and it says: macklemore e
Follow
And one of the most effective ways to enforce that silence has been to weaponize the accusation of antisemitism. Antisemitism is real. And that is exactly why the word matters too much to be used as a shield against criticism of the Israeli state. When criticizing Israel, opposing Zionism or saying "Free Palestine" gets conflated with hatred of Jewish people, it doesn't protect Jewish people. It protects Israel from accountability.
