Now that the first phase of @hcrichardson.bsky.social's wonderful "250 to 250" project has wrapped, I'll share all the videos (one per day) for which I wrote scripts. Some were recorded nearly word for word; others underwent much-needed editing for clarity & brevity. Tonight: the CCC.

Scott Colom’s campaign for Senate is picking up momentum in Mississippi. He’s one of the folks redefining the Democratic Party. He’s great, and his opponent Cindy Hyde-Smith is just a rubber stamp for Trump. @scolom.bsky.social Colom joined @hcrichardson.bsky.social in April to chat: https:/

More precisely, Kash Patel was paid $25,000—and Rudy Giuliani $100,000—by a pro-Russia propagandist who led a project financially supported by Putin's office. To get the full story, see my new book, "How Russia Won: Donald Trump, Vladimir Putin, and the Fight for America." Go to HowRussiaWon.com.

FBI Director Kash Patel this week has faced the worst data breach in FBI history, a deputy who quit because Patel was doing too many unconstitutional things, and partied with a suspected double agent. And it's only Tuesday. www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/the-disgra...

Warren: "This has been their argument every time -- they cut taxes and say, 'Ultimately it's really going to pay off for you.' What's happened every time? The academics study it very carefully and say, 'What really happened is the richest people got richer and everybody else got left behind.'"

One, this hilariously outs who all got the talking points in advance and how blatantly they parrot those. Two, Schmitt really thought today he'd launch himself to the VP nomination and with that a decent shot at the presidency down the line. Instead this is the only thing he'll be remembered for.

Schmitt had a losing track record as an AG. Figures, based on his shady gotcha performance today in the judiciary committee. And, Senator Kennedy from Louisiana joined in on his bogus hatchet job on Jack Smith.
As Missouri Attorney General and later U.S. Senator, Eric Schmitt's most notable high-profile legal losses include a dismissed COVID-19 lawsuit against China and a rejected effort to block Medicaid expansion. * Wikipedia +1
Major Cases Lost or Rejected
• COVID-19 Lawsuit Against China (2022): A federal judge dismissed Schmitt's April 2020 lawsuit that attempted to hold the Chinese government and Wuhan institutions responsible for the pandemic. The court ruled it lacked subject-matter jurisdiction under the Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act. M Missouri Independent +1
• Medicaid Expansion Defense (2021): Schmitt argued that Missouri lawmakers and the governor could legally refuse to fund and implement a voter-approved constitutional amendment expanding Medicaid. The Missouri Supreme Court unanimously rejected his position.
Wikipedia
• School Mask Mandate Lawsuits (2022): Schmitt filed dozens of lawsuits against local school districts over COVID-19 mask mandates. He ultimately dropped almost all of them (all but three of 47) as legal challenges stalled or met strong pushback and counterclaims from local authorities.

The Senator from the “Show Me” state got a court check from the “North Star” state. A Midwest apology is due on camera and the Senator from Missouri’s comment should be struck from the record — as he stands to be corrected for his unsubstantiated claim and insult to the witness.

This was the 28th time #SCOTUS has granted emergency relief to the Trump administration since 1/20/25. That matches the total number of grants during the entirety of the first Trump administration. And both of those totals dwarf the *four* grants of relief (two each) during the Bush & Obama admins.
