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.

It's inconceivable to me how someone who lost in a free & fair election can incite an angry mob to attack his own government, (the very definition of treason) & be allowed to run for any office ever again.

This is priceless. Check out how local news is reporting on Sen Eric Schmidt’s clown-show grilling of Jack Smith. They found Jack Smith at the game… “Top corner, section 109, row 1. In fact, that seat doesn’t even exist in Atlanta.”

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.👇

Jayapal on McConnell: How about we have term limits on members of Congress and upper age limits on members of Congress? Why do we allow people to stay until they literally have to be carried off the floor, until they disappear with paid leave that they won’t grant for anyone else in the country?

Canada launched counter-tariffs on $27.6 billion of US goods, hours after Trump moved to bar Bombardier jet sales in the United States. Canada is partnering with Sweden's Saab and Bombardier on defense projects; it would benefit Canadian and Ukrainian defence, triggering Trump retaliation.

Let me get this straight: Democrats had a plan to fund most of DHS (without giving ICE more money) this whole time. But Republicans blocked it because Trump told them to. Then, after weeks of chaos at the airports and TSA workers missing paychecks, Trump and Republicans caved. The Art of the Deal.
