Why did Eric Schmitt fuck up his gotcha moment so badly? No one involved considered the possibility that Jack Smith attended a women’s basketball game. A MAGAt undone by misogyny. Not at all surprising.

I heard through the grapevine that Sen. Eric Schmitt has 18 staffers on his legislative team: 17 men and one woman. The woman on his staff deals exclusively with foreign policy, which means today's disaster during the hearing was all by conservative men who don't know sports.

Sen. Eric Schmitt was so overzealous to try and get Jack Smith, a good and honest man who has done great work, that Schmitt embarrassed himself by accusing Smith of going to the wrong basketball game. You can't make this stuff up. And right wing media will pretend it never happened.

Let this sink in. Cornell University refused to refund Jane Doe's tuition the semester she was raped. Without this money, she could not transfer to another school. Essentially, she was forced to stay on campus where she saw those seven rapists frequently. Eventually she dropped out of college.

Black text that reads:

229 new affordable homes are coming to the Bronx.

We just broke ground on Sol on Park:
• 80 homes for current NYCHA residents
• 69 homes for formerly homeless seniors
• 79 homes for low- and middle-income seniors
• 8,000 sq. ft. of community space, including a health and wellness center 

This is what’s possible when we invest in NYCHA and use the power of government to build a City where New Yorkers come first.

Schmitt: We had information Jack Smith was at a basketball game. There was only one NBA game that night which is why I asked him if he was in Atlanta.
That's what these hearings are for. You ask questions, you get answers. Smith has perjured himself before, but... maybe he's a Caitlin Clark fan. We'll accept that.x.com/Acyn/status/21...
