🤡 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:

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."

Last month, we refurbished 10 tennis courts in Crotona Park — the only public tennis courts in the Bronx with lights for night play. We stopped by recently to see how things were going. Thank you to NYJTL, USTA and Yonex for helping us deliver high-quality public spaces that New Yorkers deserve.

I have never underestimated Trump’s lying, or his ability to spew bullshit. But he has in fact lost substantial control of his mind. And his ability to distinguish truth from lies—which was never really strong or important to him—is, at this point, de minimis.

Mark, why are Adran Premier referees so uniformly horrible? Some possibilities … FAW indifference. Low referee compensation. FAW incompetence. Not enough decent refs in all of Wales and western England. Disdain for women’s football. Something else or all of the above? #askwxm @askwxm.bsky.social

We’re facing worse problems than Manchester City. But, as a minimum, I’d strip City of all titles unjustly received during their decade of planned, systematic cheating—then impose automatic relegation out of the Premier League with a 50-point deduction in at least their first season out of the PL.

Can you write an Executive Order 1 for January 20, 2029, that just reads, “All Executive Orders issued on or after noon on January 20, 2025, until this order are hereby rescinded.”? We can sort-out the details after. Still far less chaos than the orange fascist created on any random day.

NEW: Attorneys for CNN/MSNOW ask for emergency court hearing, arguing their journalists are still being denied access to White House 1/

A screenshot of the first page of a federal court filing titled, in bold and underlined text, “REQUEST FOR IMMEDIATE HEARING.” The document is in a case against “Donald J. Trump, et al.”

The filing says that earlier that morning, the court issued a Temporary Restraining Order directing defendants, except President Trump, to “immediately return, reinstate, and restore” White House hard-pass press credentials held by employees of CNN, MS NOW, and POLITICO that were revoked on or around September 18, 2026.

The plaintiffs state that despite the order, journalists from CNN, MS NOW, and POLITICO attempted to enter the White House that morning and were turned away. The filing alleges that Secret Service agents also confiscated hard passes from journalists whose passes had not previously been taken. It specifically says plaintiff Betsy Klein, whose hard pass had been confiscated on September 19, requested its return but was denied and refused access to the White House complex.

The filing emphasizes urgency because CNN is scheduled to serve as the television pool for President Xi Jinping’s visit to the White House that evening. It concludes by stating that plaintiffs’ counsel contacted defense counsel that morning and asked to call the court together, but defense counsel had not responded. Page number “1” appears centered at the bottom.
