Eric Schmitt's staff is throwing him under the bus.
ms.now
Eric Schmitt was warned about the Jack Smith texts. He used them anyway.
As Republicans on Capitol Hill try to figure out how Eric Schmitt’s bombshell fell apart so embarrassingly, it turns out he was warned that the texts were unvetted.

The message is not: We all better behave. It's that these people are bumbling idiots and maybe we should try to get away with more.

I understand there is a difference between citizens and residents and undocumented immigrants. So, I understand how deporting someone isn't a violation of the Geneva Convention. But how is deporting someone to a third country without consent or due process not a violation of the Geneva Convention?

When you have one white supremacist on your staff that's happenstance, when you have two white supremacists on your staff you can argue it's coincidence, when you've had three white supremacists on your staff you are probably handing out your business cards at white power rallies.

People often ask how can 30% of people support this shit. They are lied to. Good example. In the Smith hearing, Schmitt pretended he had a gotcha moment, but it was 100% false. And the record demonstrated it. Then went on Charlie Kirk's show and acted if if Smith committed perjury and was caught.

Republicans know Ossoff is going to win. The last time a Georgia senate election was won without a runoff was 2014 when David Perdue won with 52%. I am starting to think Republicans want Ossoff to win without a runoff so they have a chance against Keisha Lance Bottoms.

People are not talking about Colorado enough. Polling as a general matter is currently at D+13. Colorado has 8 US House seats 4/4. D08 is toast. The Republican won by 0.7% in 2024. But the other three were 5% 11% and 14%. Plus you have a real nutjob running for governor against a popular democrat.

Thune letting Collins get his stank on him even though the race is lost, so lost that Ossoff will probably be the first senate candidate to win a Georgia senate race without a runoff in a decade.

I just learned about the allegations of a gang rape at Cornell. I did not read the complaint because it is 100 pages and I don't want to read a 100 page description of a gang rape and it is my area of law. But everything I have heard about this situation is greatly disturbing.

In the past 24 hours Trump has made two decisions to raise fuel/utility costs. First, he rejected Iran's proposal to reopen the strait of Hormuz. Then he agreed to have China buy coal. China buying coal makes coal more expensive and raises utility rates in the US. It only helps coal suppliers.

Comey's arraignment was postponed until 2027. Not his trial, not discovery, his arraignment. An arraignment is the formal reading of the charge, and is typically when the defendant enters a plea. It is typically a non controversial procedural moment in a case. Comey was indicted in April.

This whole argument about needing to stop attacking infrastructure is ridiculous. The US and Israel attacked Iranian infrastructure. Russia attacked Ukrainian infrastructure for years. Now it is affecting energy markets and other countries suddenly care. It's rank hypocrisy.
