People saying Eric Schmidt “destroyed his career” seem to think the modern GOP base is offended by lies, stupidity and incompetency
He hates who they hate. That’s enough.
If they cared about truth or law they wouldn’t be MAGA.
I went to Harvard with her son, and it was an open secret that he had to defer his enrollment by a year because of rape/assault allegations. He harassed me at a party for my phone #, said to “make sure” I gave him the right #, then harassed me about getting a girl’s number.
When I was 16, I went to visit my sister at UW-Madison. It was the early 90s. She was in a sorority, and we went to a frat party that was co-hosted by her sorority. At one point we got separated, and a frat man to whom I'd been previously introduced said he'd help me look for her. He grabbed my hand and ended up taking me to the attic that had multiple bare mattresses on the floor and multiple other frat men just hanging out in wait, several of whom surrounded me immediately. Thankfully, my sister had been alerted by her sorority sister that she'd seen frat man take me in that direction and came to get me right after we got up there. I know people will fault me for being at a frat party at 16. I know people will fault my sister for taking me to a frat party when I was 16. I know people will fault me for drinking at 16. I know people will say that if anything had happened it would have been my fault. But they won't fault the frat for having an attic sex (assualt) den with bare mattresses on the floor. They won't fault the frat that had no issue serving alcohol to a minor who very much looked like a minor. They won't fault frat man for taking me to the attic sex (assault) den when I clearly looked like a 16-year-old at 5'1" and 85 pounds. Women and girls are forced to carry all of the responsibility and all of the blame by men and boys who are automatically exonerated from fault for simply having a dick. Be fucking better.
A lot of people are looking for a political home, including former Republicans. Call them in, not out. Stick to the facts with your neighbors and save your fire for Trump, DeSantis and Moody. #AngieForFlorida
Senate Majority Leader John Thune says taxpayers shouldn’t be footing the bill for ads featuring Trump that the administration calls "public service announcements."
Well, good news: Thune can actually do something about. He can ask GAO to investigate.

After ICE showed up at school bus stops in Danbury, I introduced a bill to ban the practice - a totally unnecessary tactic designed specifially to traumatize little kids.
I'm going to force a debate on this bill in the Senate this week. Will Republicans defend this evil?
I don’t hear enough people saying it. It’s important to note that multiple GOP senators who questioned Jack Smith today were actual co-conspirators and active participants in the coup attempt on January 6, 2021.
Not ONE person caught the screw up. They had coordinated tweets ready, printed posters, and not one person caught it or questioned it. This is maga “Four Seasons Landscaping” levels of stupid. @amyklobuchar explaining the difference was priceless.
Imagine how many people had to approve this. Staffers. Researchers. Communications people. Graphic designers. Printers. Senate aides. And apparently not one person knew the difference between the Hawks and Hawkeyes.
MAGA Republicans are really stupid people.
I saw on the news today that there was one young man in the Cornell group chat who was actually asleep during the gang rape of the young woman.
When he awoke and read the group texts, he was upset and angry about it.
He sent the texts to the victim for her to use as proof.
That is the evidence that she is now using.
The child you “never have to worry about” still needs you to check on them.
Good grades, good behavior and staying out of trouble don’t mean they aren’t carrying something quietly. Sometimes we spend so much time helping the child who shows us they’re struggling that we unintentionally overlook the one who never gives us any problems.
On the last day of Suicide Prevention Month, check on that child too. Don’t let good behavior make your child invisible.
If you or someone you know is struggling, call or text 988.
If republican men want to learn what masculinity and confidence look like, watch Jack Smith and take notes. He doesn’t have to raise his voice or throw fits to completely dominate that hearing.
The Trump administration appears to have changed its AI chatbot so that it no longer debunks Trump lies.
Yesterday: It said Biden won the 2020 election and there's no indication of widespread fraud.
Today: Says it can't answer such questions.
After forcing us to pay $120 BILLION more for fuel because of his idiotic war with Iran, Donald Trump is now rolling back fuel standards so new cars get even fewer miles per gallon.
This is a massive wealth transfer from working Americans to oil companies.
Pete Ricketts cast the deciding vote to pardon a man who broke into a woman's home, tied her up, and raped her while her children listened. This is who Pete Ricketts is. VOTE HIM OUT IN NOVEMBER!
Listen to former Special Counsel Jack Smith’s testimony: “Our investigation developed proof beyond a reasonable doubt that President Trump engaged in serious crimes against our nation.”
