Scoop — I've ID'd the two men sitting behind Sen. Eric Schmitt during his botched attack on Jack Smith this morning. Ethan Harper (left) is Chief Counsel to Schmitt, and Andrew Ceonzo (right) is Counsel to Schmitt and the Senate Judiciary Committee.

Tone-deaf AI slop from the White House, data center pushback dismissed as a "Chinese psyop," a predator's sweetheart deal, and GOP breaks with Trump over Iran. A party that won't answer for its choices. With 35 days to go, how far will that strategy take them?

This. It has always been this. A sitting American president did this. And because he did this, he should have been convicted and put behind bars. And the fact that we never held him accountable for these crimes will forever stain this country. And we may never recover from it.👇

Jack Smith: "Our investigation developed proof beyond a reasonable doubt that President Trump engaged in serious crimes against our nation ... rather than accept his defeat in the 2020 election, he engaged in a criminal scheme to overturn the results and prevent the lawful transfer of power"

This is what democratic socialism looks like.
A fire department in East Bronx needs 750k for a new roof on their station. They asked Mayor Zohran to help them on social media. Twenty four hours later he authorized the funding.

Joe Scarborough: It’s important we now have documentation that the Republican Party has corrupted itself to this degree. Republicans now support the Centralized State stealing taxpayers’ money to run ads for their political party.

GOP doesn't care about these kids because they've already been born, and are obviously not a part of the privileged caste. Tax cuts for billionaires is a more important priority than starving children.

First, Trump banned independent news from the White House. Now, he's launching what is quite literally state-run TV to try drowning out the fact that he and his corrupt administration are failing the American people. This is truly autocratic behavior from a failed President.
