Klobuchar: “For a US senator to have false information and imply, based on a confusion about the name of a team … and imply that you were in another city, that you were somehow involved that day in what was happening in Georgia, and then call you a dirtbag, is something that deserves an apology.”

It would be a monumental improvement for America, but especially for the Republican Party, if we elected the President through a plurality vote.

No sympathy for these people. Warnings were issued. Project 2025 was publicly available. Instead of accepting factual reality, they once again believed the world's most obvious con-man and saddled us with this nightmare. And they'll continue to vote for Republicans anyway.

NEW: It's hard these days for members of Congress to transcend the news cycle with viral moments in committee hearings. Sen. Schmitt today raised the bar with an allegation against Jack Smith that imploded in real time. w/ Chris Marquette www.politico.com/news/2026/09...

Republicans wanted Jack Smith to give them a smoking gun. They got a gaffe instead.

The former special counsel’s appearance before the Senate Judiciary Committee was marked by personal insults rather than new revelations.

Republicans used Smith's hearing today — the coda of a 2-year investigation — to hurl insults at him and home in on the procedures he used in his Trump probe. They spent no time rebutting his findings about Trump or the substance of the charges. www.politico.com/news/2026/09...

It seems like the fact that things are getting hella dire for the GOP’s midterm election prospects may just have broken through the fog of war. Or, because we’re talking about Pete Hegseth, it’s more like it broke through the fog of nicotine pouches, cheap whiskey, and testosterone injections.

I asked America.gov whether Donald Trump is an adjudicated rapist and it responded: basically, yes so that clears that up at least

Andrea's prompt for America.gov reads "is donald trump an adjudicated rapist" and the bot response is:

In civil litigation brought by writer E. Jean Carroll, a federal jury found Donald Trump liable for sexual abuse and defamation, awarding damages.

Regarding the specific legal term:

The jury did not find him liable for "rape" under the narrow legal definition used in New York penal law at the time, but instead found him liable for "sexual abuse".
The presiding judge later clarified in post-trial rulings that the jury's verdict established that Trump had forcibly sexually assaulted and digitally penetrated her, which meets common understandings of rape even though it did not match the specific statutory elements required for that charge under New York criminal law.

Just a reminder that this is the same Sen. Schmitt who repeatedly claimed that Chief Judge Boasberg was receiving a disproportionate share of Trump-related cases because he confused the D.C. Superior Court (which has 62 judges) with the D.C. district court (which has 15).

It's remarkable (in a very good way) to see an elected member of the Democratic Party saying this. For decades, the Party has treated public higher education as a jobs training program, not a site for cultivating democratic habits of mind. I deeply hope that things are changing.
