Why did Eric Schmitt fuck up his gotcha moment so badly? No one involved considered the possibility that Jack Smith attended a women’s basketball game. A MAGAt undone by misogyny. Not at all surprising.

It is glaringly clear that Jack Smith is a competent & honest man working in service to his country & fellow Americans. It is also just as clear that Republican Senator Schmidt is an incompetent fool & liar working in service to felon President Trump.

this gaffe should follow Eric Schmitt around for the rest of his political life (Jack Smith was actually in Maryland at a HAWKEYES game, not in Atlanta colluding with Fani Willis as Schmitt alleged) (Win McNamee/Getty)

🤡 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:

GOOD NEWS! Researchers have discovered a new antibiotic, known as manikomycin, that may be a bulwark in the fight against drug-resistant superbugs. By attacking the ribosome in a never-before-seen way, manikomycin can evade the existing mechanisms pathogens have developed to resist antibiotics.

One thing for sure, Republican Congressmen have proven beyond all doubt that they are unfit to be in government. Unfit to lead people. Unfit to make or enforce laws and rules. The only thing Republican congressmen are good for, is serving as examples of how not to act, and what never to become!

Babe Didrikson Zaharias--AP's Greatest Female Athlete of the 20th Century--died #OTD in 1956. 3 Olympic medals 🥇 🥇 🥈 Track & Field, 1932 Founding member, LPGA 10 major LPGA championships #golf Only woman in history to make the cut in a PGA Tour event 3x All-American #basketball #SportsHistory
A four-panel grid composition showcases the extraordinary athletic versatility of Mildred Ella "Babe" Didrikson Zaharias (1911–1956), widely considered one of the greatest athletes in history. Each black-and-white historical photograph captures her focused, competitive expression across a different sport. The overall mood is one of pioneering power and focus, underscoring her historic significance as a multi-sport Olympic champion and co-founder of the LPGA.

In the top-left panel, she crouches on a golf green holding a club and placing a ball while wearing a striped short-sleeved shirt, trousers, gloves, and a visor. The top-right panel shows her mid-throw during a track and field event, body contorted dynamically in a white team uniform as she launches a javelin across a dirt stadium field. In the bottom-left, she wears a dark basketball jersey labeled "Babe’s" and smiles confidently, poised to pass an old-fashioned leather basketball. The bottom-right panel displays her in a loose-fitting baseball uniform and cap, glove ready, intensely tracking a play on the diamond.

What a brilliant idea and great praise for the idea. Letting everyone have access to the literature we should all read is extremely important. Currently re-reading 1984, and it's quite scary how close a lot of societies are moving to that as a model, and how many idiots would like it.

Helpful hint for anyone who needs temporary use of medical equipment such as walkers, wheelchairs, and more: check for a medical equipment bank in your area. No need to buy a new, expensive item when you can borrow one free/inexpensively. There's one in Olympia, and it's great.
