🤡 Schmitt beclowns himself 🤡 Schmitt concocted an elaborate conspiracy theory that Smith traveled to Atl for a Hawks game and to collude with Fani Willis, & flashed his "evidence" before accusing Smith of perjury. There's just one problem -- his facts were totally wrong. Here's the whole sequence:

this gaffe should follow Eric Schmitt around for the rest of his political life (Jack Smith was actually in Maryland at a HAWKEYES game, not in Atlanta colluding with Fani Willis as Schmitt alleged) (Win McNamee/Getty)

Things that Senator Eric Schmitt always confuses: Iowa Hawkeyes vs. Atlanta Hawks. A John Deer Tractor vs. A Dear John Letter. Washington State vs. Washington DC. Gorrillas vs. Guerrillas. Duke University’s Blue Devils vs. Arizona State University’s Sun Devils.

Before calling someone a “dirtbag,” the Senator should have had his facts straight. An apology is in order. Glad one of us knew the difference between the Atlanta Hawks and the Iowa Hawkeyes!

The “protect women” crowd hasn’t said a word about the Cornell rapists… It’s like they almost don’t actually care about women and abuse trans folks just to prop up their misogyny.

How scared are Missouri Republicans about their anti-abortion amendment not passing in November? They are running commercials that don’t even mention the amendment will ban abortion… because they know we already gave women the constitutional right to abortion. VOTE NO ON AMENDMENT 3.

It now costs the truck drivers on average $1,200 to fill up a single tank because of the war in Iran. Mike Rogers said it's a win-win-win. Are you winning?

The Nebraska Farm Bureau is still "neutral" on the Governor's race and isn't endorsing Pillen. This is a big change from their endorsement of Pillen just four years ago. The Farm Bureau is known for nearly exclusively endorsing Republicans in agricultural states across the country.

The Eighth Circuit has ordered the district court to reinstate Missouri’s 2025 congressional map. But before folks freak out, it also ordered that court to pause such a ruling for long enough that the challengers can (and will) seek further review from #SCOTUS: s3.documentcloud.org/documents/28...
To allow for appellate review, the district court should administratively stay its permanent injunction until September 28, 2026, at 5 p.m. Central Daylight Time. Without any stay, Secretary Hoskins and local election authorities would be required to immediately begin implementing the 2025 map before the Supreme Court receives or decides any appeal. And without a limit to the stay, PNP could wait to file its petition for a writ of certiorari until the December 21, 2026, due date, see
SUP. CT. R. 13.1, thus preventing the Supreme Court from considering the merits of this case until after Missouri has conducted the November 2026 general election. The mandate shall issue forthwith

NEW: The CNN/MSNOW/Politico case has been assigned to Trump appointee Judge Timothy Kelly. You'll recall he presided over the Proud Boy's case, approved domestic terror enhancements, and called Trump out for revisionist history when asked to dismiss the charges against them.

$40 Billion would have extended the ACA subsidies for an entire year. Instead, Trump's Congress pulled healthcare from millions of Americans to bomb little girls in Iran and kill 18 American soldiers. This isn't America First policy...

When the public finally learns the full accounting of the damage done in this war, it’ll probably be too late to hold anyone in the Trump administration accountable. But this is insane. And they’re lying to the American people.

They won’t stop trying to defy court orders until they are out of power. The quickest way to take away their power is to vote for Democrats in November. Break the supermajority in the Missouri House and Senate and you break Denny Hoskins and Hanaway. Democrats will enforce accountability.

Why is Trump planning to shutter the Kennedy Center? Because they told him to take his name off the building, and a malignant narcissist can’t accept rejection. He can’t accept defeat. He can’t accept not getting his way. It’s the same reason he will never concede losing in 2020…

If an incapacitated senator chooses not to resign, they legally keep their office, and their seat cannot be declared vacant by Senate leadership. Another little rule we should address in the next administration…who knew Republicans would find every loophole to every guardrail for democracy.

In Missouri, Trump has lost 19 percentage points in net approval since he took office in 2025. This includes 14 points just since February. Trump fatigue is real. Use that pressure point in your communities to drive out voting in November. Remind them who is to blame for their pain.
