Trump is going to try to normalize the deployment of armed federal agents at and around the polls. Let us be clear: this is completely abnormal. “The risk here is that they are going to try to wage a campaign of fear,” Marc Elias says. This isn’t over. Stay close: demdock.com/3T3Owjg

This is Paxton. Wildly corrupt, impeached in an all Red Texas legislature. Entirely possible that people would like him more if he were a rapist.

Immigration law is infamous for its impossible hours and laughable salaries, but since early 2025 lawyers have been tested by the federal government’s efforts to target them—and their budgets. The ensuing chaos nearly broke them. Don't miss the latest from @kpaoletta.bsky.social:

Senate Republicans thought it would be a good idea to have Jack Smith testify during the midterm elections to distract people from their disastrous policies-like tariffs and the #GOPWarOnHealthcare It didn’t work. And it reminded America of just how big a crook Trump really is

The only person who needed “rehabilitation” in today's hearing was my colleague who didn’t know the difference between the Hawks and the Hawkeyes. Don't try to distract the American people from rising costs and people losing their health care, especially if you don't have your facts straight.

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.

This is priceless. Check out how local news is reporting on Sen Eric Schmidt’s clown-show grilling of Jack Smith. They found Jack Smith at the game… “Top corner, section 109, row 1. In fact, that seat doesn’t even exist in Atlanta.”

🤡 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:

Schmitt: Who knew jack Smith was a Caitlin Clark fan? We had information he was at a basketball game. There was only one NBA game that night which is why I asked him if he was in Atlanta. He answered the question. That's what these hearings are for. You ask questions, you get answers. Smith has perjured himself before, but he says he's at the game. Maybe he's a Caitlin Clark fan. We'll accept 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.

The "exceptionally deadly" 24 hours (my wedding anniversary and Bastille Day; UGH) includes the shooting in Biddeford, Maine. I was so preoccupied by that murder, I missed the story of the Mexican tourist who was chased by ICE, ran into traffic, and was killed. These killers must be held to account.
