State Rep. Angie Nixon: Folks. If we’re going to be a big tent, then damnit we need to be a big tent. We need all hands on deck right now. Trump isn’t going to willingly leave in 2028. We need to send more folks to DC with the political will and courage to stand up to his bullying.

Sen. Eric Schmitt was so overzealous to try and get Jack Smith, a good and honest man who has done great work, that Schmitt embarrassed himself by accusing Smith of going to the wrong basketball game. You can't make this stuff up. And right wing media will pretend it never happened.
