The White House Office of Management and Budget wants to change spending rules to prohibit anyone from using federal grant money for voter registration drives or what it vaguely calls “related activities.”

New Rule Would Ban the Use of Federal Grant Money for Voter Registration Drives

Senator Eric Schmitt is a fucking clown. He didn’t just ask Jack Smith if he was in Atlanta; he did a whole ass posterboard presentation trying to play gotcha, and it backfired because he doesn’t know how to fact-check. Missouri, do better!

So plausible process: *Schmitt's staff get texts from security guy Wallach via FBI/DOJ *Look for something incriminating, find a text chain about a Hawks/Hawkeye game *Assume this was the Hawks in Atlanta *Dropped Fani Wallis into the story, with zero evidence So thin! www.ms.now/liveblog/jac...

In other words, Schmitt's evidence that Smith went to a Hawks game was incredibly weak. Did they really have nothing more than this? Was the Hawkeye thing just a coincidence, because Schmitt did not present anything related to that (e.g. a communication from Smith saying he went to a Hawkeye game)?

Maybe I'm missing something, but I still don't get this. Schmitt was saying Smith went to a Hawks game. His evidence was texts that mention "Jack" but not from Smith (and the Hawks does not have a 109 row). Yes, Smith went to a Hawkeyes game, but Schmitt did not present any evidence of that.

I actually don't think the Republican Senator mixed up "Hawks" and "Hawkeyes." Going by his own statements, it appears his staff saw he went to a basketball game on that date and googled basketball games and found the only men's game that night in the whole country was in Atlanta.
