Missourians has to be hanging their heads, avoiding the gaze of the Nation at their foolish & ill-prepared "gotcha" Senator, Eric Schmitt, face-planting his Big Moment with Jack Smith. No one laid a glove on the Special Prosecutor. Amateurish on the Right side of the dais, right? wapo.st/4iW4OWi

Wowza.

At a time when the most influential leaders of the U.S. need to stand up loudly and clearly for the rule of law, they are leading the charge in the opposite direction. But not Jack Smith. Kudos to him for continuing to be a much needed voice of clarity.

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."

Today I learned that Jack Smith is a Caitlin Clark fan and that Amy Klobuchar knows more about sports than Eric Schmitt.

Just got a political ad that said “if you vote for this candidate the SOCIALISTS win and more people will have access to health insurance!” Why is that scary for people?

OMG this mariachi band doing the national anthem is amazing and an incredibly subversive political statement that I did not expect to come from… Chicago Bears management?

Poor Sen. Eric Schmitt's (R-MO) poor research and overweening desire for a "gotcha" moment caused him to step on his dick -- and Sen. Klobuchar called him out in real time. (The Iowa Hawkeyes are NOT the Atlanta Hawks. Jack Smith was in Maryland, NOT Georgia.) www.forbes.com/sites/alison...

This. It has always been this. A sitting American president did this. And because he did this, he should have been convicted and put behind bars. And the fact that we never held him accountable for these crimes will forever stain this country. And we may never recover from it.👇

extremely weird shit during the Jack Smith hearing -- Sen. Eric Schmitt's team briefly displays a poster board that Schmitt claims contains evidence Smith committed perjury, but then Schmitt's team takes it down before anybody can read it and refuses to show Smith what it says

Susan Collins has been lying to us for almost 30 years.

The Trump administration is running more television ads promoting the president—and the public is paying the bill.

Our tax dollars are being spent to indulge the fantasies and to soothe the fragile ego of a narcissistic sociopath who is falling deeper and deeper into psychosis.
