happy bday poet Wallace Stevens, b.1879, Reading, PA “Perhaps the truth depends on a walk around the lake.” “Human nature is like water. It takes the shape of its container.” “Death is the mother of beauty. Only the perishable can be beautiful, which is why we are unmoved by artificial flowers.”

A transcript like this underscores how much news outlets -- including print and edited TV news -- routinely clean up his quotes or don't quote the elliptical non sequiturs. Worth comparing to what happens when, for instance, Rep. AOC says "uh" or "um" while discussing foreign policy.

28. But, as MS Now reported, "Trump appointees have engaged in a highly unusual practice of sharing a broad swath of sensitive material, in this case from the special counsel’s investigation, as Republicans scour files for evidence that Smith and his staff engaged in misconduct."

4. According to new reporting last night by MS Now, the text messages from 2024 from Smith's team that Eric Schmitt presented at Tuesday's hearing were provided by the US Department of Justice, which is to say, by US Attorney General Todd Blanche. www.ms.now/news/eric-sc...

Eric Schmitt was warned about the Jack Smith texts. He used them anyway.
As Republicans on Capitol Hill try to figure out how Eric Schmitt’s bombshell fell apart so embarrassingly, it turns out he was warned that the texts were unvetted.

1. Let's not say goodbye to Eric Schmitt just yet. His story is about more than a power-mad senator falling on his face. It's part of a larger story about the Republicans defending the leader of an insurrection against the United States.

Sen. Thom Tillis privately told Trump he wouldn’t tolerate his “bullshit” — and that if Trump had ever directly threatened him with a primary challenge, he’d have “immediately told you to fuck yourself” and announced his retirement. The texts, obtained by Playbook, will appear in his upcoming book.
