As @katiephang.bsky.social and I discussed on-air last evening …. Eric Schmitt’s (R-MO) use of the term “dirtbag” for Jack Smith was juvenile and a bad example. But Schmitt’s claim Smith was “perjuring” himself … Thats’s the bigger problem and smear

The Trump DOJ keeps violating the law & keeps losing in the courts. So now they’re filing judicial misconduct complaints against judges they don’t like, even Trump appointees. I call out Todd Blanche for his rank hypocrisy as he runs around the country in partisan events. youtu.be/nZ_nR2s-ReU?...

Three years ago, the Free Beacon ironically named me man of the year on their website. "Don’t give up Ben, you have a whole lot of nothing to look forward to," they wrote. This year, I was on a TIME100 list. I would take this moment to tell them how they can suck me: from the back. Thank you.
We don’t know about Ben’s family or personal finances, but we certainly can’t disagree about his lack of skills. But for someone with absolutely no ability, Ben has found the perfect gig.

Don’t give up Ben, you have a whole lot of nothing to look forward to. Only now, when you do nothing, you'll do it as a Free Beacon Man of the Year.I win.
