This is a truly funny day in politics - Eric Schmitt confused NBA Hawks with NCAA Hawkeyes - In a politically consequential way! - And Amy Klobuchar is ball-knower, just roasting him - And we get to watch Katie Britt make this face Season 6 is the craziest Trump season yet

Today I learned that Jack Smith is a Caitlin Clark fan and that Amy Klobuchar knows more about sports than Eric Schmitt.

🤡 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:

A 94-year-old Jewish human rights barrister was among more than 80 people arrested outside the Labour Party conference in Liverpool while demonstrating in support of Palestine Action. The arrests came as Ed Miliband told critics of the government’s policy on Palestine: “We hear you. You were right"

i worry that men think being A Good Guy is dramatically and heroically intervening on behalf of an endangered woman and then being publicly rewarded on a grand scale when actually being A Good Guy is just usually saying, “hey man that’s not funny” or “wow that’s fucked up” and there is no reward

Jack Smith: "History teaches that the rule of law is rarely destroyed all at once. It's often weakened by attacks on the institutions and the public servants sworn to uphold it. Since January 2025, we have witnessed precisely such an effort."

Jack Smith says he stands by his decision to bring charges against Trump in the classified documents case. "If asked whether to prosecute a former President based on the same facts today, I would do so regardless of whether that President was a Republican or a Democrat."

NEW: Trump's lawyers filed their Eleventh Circuit brief fighting the sanctions order in Trump v. IRS tonight. Background: www.lawdork.com/p/trump-irs-... The best way I can describe the brief is showing you their statement regarding whether they believe the court should hold oral arguments:
STATEMENT REGARDING ORAL ARGUMENT
Appellants respectfully request oral argument. This appeal presents substantial questions concerning Article Ill adversity and the limits of the district
court's sanctions authority. In this case, the court erroneously imposed (i) an unprecedented and unconstitutional restriction on the speech of the sitting President of the United States, as well as other government officials, and private persons, in every official forum in the country, and (ii) career-altering sanctions on the President's attorneys for advocating a legitimate legal position with which the court
simply disagreed. Even worse, the district court did so without a show-cause order,
a hearing, or individualized findings. Oral argument will assist the Court in
resolving these important constitutional and procedural questions.
