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.

Can we go back to this part of the Schmitt poster: at best, what were these texts supposed to show or prove? i thought they’d be some mention of the Hawkeyes, however dumb they’d have been, but no, not even that. You couldn’t make them more boring if you tried.
New from me: I unpack what happened at the Jack Smith hearing, and offer a theory of what the hell Senator Eric Schmitt thought he was doing. And yes, an inability to tell the difference between the Hawks and Hawkeyes really did seem to be a big part of it. 🧵 donmoynihan.substack.com/p/what-happe...

As a victim of childhood mental and physical abuse, though not sexual abuse, I know we all develop an innate + profound 6th sense + are attuned to all abusers. We have had to recognise the signs in order to survive but it has shaped and been instrumental to the course our lives have taken. #NoMore
The upshot of Reform UK's US-style healthcare plans is that - millionaires will get the very best treatment available - the well-off who get sick will go banrupt - the poor will be refused care, and die young, in pain "Nigel plans to sell off our NHS to his chums......" via We Demand UK
If you need to catch up on the whole controversy with GOP Sen. Eric Schmitt not knowing his sports and embarrassing himself while attempting to slander a public servant today, I made a 20 min. video explainer. Yes, 20 minutes. And I enjoyed the hell out of making it. www.youtube.com/watch?v=YfjN...

Ireland needs to stop reacting to individual climate events and start preparing systematically for a climate of greater extremes. The Council says Ireland’s climate resilience planning and preparation does not yet match the scale or urgency of the risks the country faces. shorturl.at/0rBfZ

That cocky, misplaced look of smug success on Senator Eric Schmitt’s face—moments before everything came crashing down around him because he’s so carelessly incompetent.

Lets be honest anyone who calls themselves a Christian nationalist should be ineligible for federal office because their beliefs make it impossible to hold an oath to the Constitution which not only calls for freedom of religion but keeping religion & government separate
What is Nigel Farage is as usual missing is facts, evidence, rational reasoning which he again replaces with a spewed out mish-mash of racist rumour, anti-migrant bias, anti-Muslim hate, peppered with umpteen outright lies meme via We Demand UK
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.
Trump White House misspells “United” on the official “super intelligence” document with AI executives. Instead of “President of the United States,” it reads: “President of the Unites States.” Nothing says “super intelligence” quite like misspelling the name of the country.

“Until recently a project manager earning a decent salary in China, Nero is now training to be an FPV drone pilot. “I want people to know that not all Chinese people support Russia’s aggression. Many Chinese people, like me, are kind and want to help Ukraine,” Nero said.” Sounds like Spain in 1936.
