New Evidence Shows Just How Badly One Republican Senator Beclowned Himself in the Jack Smith Hearing (opens the original)
Read excerpt
TPM has found fairly definitive evidence proving Sen. Eric Schmitt (R-MO) misread text messages when he attempted to corner former special counsel Jack Smith during a congressional hearing on Tuesday. Schmitt used his time to present an elaborate conspiracy theory based on the idea that text messages showed Smith was at an Atlanta Hawks basketball game in Georgia on a particular day in 2024. There, the senator insinuated, Smith met with Fulton County, Georgia, District Attorney Fani Willis, who
Federal Judge Blasts ‘Inhumane and Unconstitutional’ Conditions in NYC ICE Detention (opens the original)
Read excerpt
A federal judge decried the “cruelty” detainees experienced inside Manhattan’s infamous ICE detention center in a court ruling filed on Thursday. Federal Judge Lewis Kaplan offered graphic depictions of “overcrowding, sleep deprivation, insufficient food and water, inadequate medical care, and restrictions on access to counsel” at 26 Federal Plaza in his ruling, which permanently limited the number of detainees that can be held at the facility going forward.

We carry the flame.” That bit of digital slop has never proved more true than over the past week when our total Kirkification was on display in the beating heart of the American empire. For a brief moment this week, New York City’s Times Square played host to a misshapen monument to Charlie Kirk. The statue was part of a half-baked plan to raise a million-dollar sum that was cooked up by Sergio Furnari,
Donald Trump Just Basically Bribed Americans to Vote for Republicans (opens the original)
Read excerpt
With his poll numbers at record lows, gas prices at record highs, and mounting signs of momentum for the Democrats, President Donald Trump just debuted a novel strategy to secure votes: bribery. Speaking at the Republican National Committee’s historically unheard of midterms convention on Wednesday evening, Trump offered to pay Americans $5,000 each if — and only if — the GOP is victorious in the upcoming elections. “Because we’ve done so well and because our country is making so much money that
