I think Smith could successfully sue Schmitt for defamation now, since he's restating the falsehood outside of the Senate hearing, and by this point he clearly knows what he's saying is false

A judge blocked another effort to add Trump’s name to the Kennedy Center. In response, the president lashed out at a congresswoman during a board meeting—then gave the center an ultimatum, @janaykingsberry.bsky.social reports:

The Kennedy Center Is Trump’s Hostage
The president berated a congresswoman during a board meeting, then posted that he would abandon the Kennedy Center if his name isn’t added to it.

The GOP operative class is younger, better educated, and more urban than the national average which means their intuitions pull the party to the center.
The Dem operative class is also younger, better educated, and more urban but that means their biases pull Dems off-center.

My favorite thing about this poll is that ‘Accepting a luxury jet from Qatar while the Trump Organization pursues business opportunities in the Gulf’ came in last. Deeper bench than the ‘92 Dream Team.
Bar chart from Data for Progress titled 'Trump's Handling of the Epstein Files Is Seen as the Most Concerning Corruption-Related Action.' An August 28–31, 2026 survey of 1,167 U.S. likely voters asked which of Trump's second-term actions are most concerning, selecting up to two. Results: declining to fully release the Epstein files, 22%; directing federal law-enforcement investigations against political opponents, 17%; using the presidency to enrich his properties like Mar-a-Lago, 17%; growing his family's cryptocurrency business including Trump meme coins, 15%; family and associates moving between government roles and private ventures, 15%; pardoning allies including Binance founder Changpeng Zhao, 12%; easing regulations in industries where his family has financial interests, 12%; selling early access to his social media posts for up to $100,000 a month, 11%; accepting millions in White House ballroom donations from companies with business before the government, 11%; accepting a luxury jet from Qatar while the Trump Organization pursues Gulf business, 9%, last among the listed actions. 'None of these are concerning to me' drew 18% and 'Don't know'
