Former special counsel Jack Smith was pressed by Sen. Eric Schmitt (R-MO) on Tuesday during his testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee about whether he attended a NBA game between the Atlanta Hawks and Golden State Warriors in Atlanta in early February 2024.

Smith said he “definitely did not go" to an Atlanta Hawks game. "I think you've already perjured yourself," Schitt said during the exchange, calling Smith a "total dirtbag."

Smith said he instead attended a Maryland-Iowa women’s basketball game to see Iowa star Caitlin Clark play. Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-MN) suggested Schmitt had confused the Iowa Hawkeyes with the Atlanta Hawks and said Smith deserved an apology.

How the fuck did we get to this point? How the fuck could we have allowed this to happen?

Republican Rep. Thomas Massie reads articles of impeachment against Pete Hegseth.

About. Damn. Time.

Wow.

Watch this clip the Trump Administration did everything they could to censor and you'll understand why.

This type of rhetoric is incredibly dangerous for the MAGA right.

Talarico is able to coherently and clearly unmask and expose MAGA as traitors to the Christian ethic.

Aside from being completely true, this type of rhetoric coming from leaders on the left has the ability to totally fracture the MAGA coalition and put areas of the country in play that haven't been competitive for Democrats in 50 years.

@JohnCleese This is so sad to see. You guys have had such a great partnership for so many years and have given so many so much joy.

Hopefully you can find a way to bury the hatchet before you're all 6 feet under.

Before Mike Nichols passed I was granted a meeting with him. It was around the time I hit 1m followers on Twitter. I desperately wanted him to cast me in anything he might direct. I was telling him about Twitter and why I thought it was important. He simply posed a question. Instead of reading tweets and writing tweets what would happen if you collected that time allocate it to writing a purpose driven long form piece or reading a book? I ponder that question for over a decade and trailed his advice. It’s rewarding. Instead of consuming everyone else’s micro thoughts I find myself constructing macro visions. Instead of sharing momentary reactions I find myself building perspectives. I’ve found current X to be an emotion reflection on a fleeting moment with brief insightful snippets that compound over time. The danger is when you replace deep learning and understanding with the emotional whims of people who’s character you do not know. Only more exemplified by the reductionist reactions of those who don’t know you. Our character is not a fleeting opinion and most certainly not an opinion build on pseudo-facts which are largely build on a corpus of others opinions. How many
nested dependency did your last certainty rely on? This isn’t a knock on the platform or its contributors it’s only meant to share the essential question that Mr. Nichols shared that I’ve found to provide immense value. Thank you Mike.

I genuinely wasn’t prepared for this level of internet chaos. 😂

[CONSEQUENCE @consequence]

Conan O'Brien used his Harvard University commencement speech to argue that humility and the human connection matter far more than any diploma.

"I always recognize the enormous role of luck in my life. Refusing to see how luck has played a role in anyone's success is simply ignorant. Many people are happy to mistake a lucky poker hand for their own brilliance, and fighting that human instinct has kept me sane.

"I honestly believe that community, spontaneity, and a real commitment to humility has helped me build a rich life that means much more to me than any diploma. And believe me, I'm not saying the goal is to renounce accomplishments, but rather to metabolize them. If you carry your victories lightly, other qualities –- kindness, originality, courage, humor, and humanity –- have room to emerge.

"Maybe the greatest lessons I've learned along these lines have been through my 24 travel shows. I have degraded myself in Cuba, Ghana, Korea, Armenia, half of Europe, Argentina, Thailand, Mexico, and Greenland, where I visited a real estate office and tried to buy the country. When I travel to another land, every quality I have discussed -- community, adaptation, and a sincerely humble approach -- are all necessary. When you don't speak the language, no one truly cares where you went to college, and you have no choice but to make friends.

"It's on these travels that I learned a great lesson: let yourself be bad at things. I have been a bad dancer in every country I have visited. But the people laugh because it turns out everyone everywhere is related to at least one terrible dancer. For me, humility on these trips can easily lead to humiliation, which is also a useful tool.

"Three weeks ago, I visited Amsterdam, dressed up as Van Gogh, and forced my way into the Van Gogh Museum, where I started loudly demanding a cut of the merchandising because I made no money during my lifetime. Guards forcibly ejected me. I was roundly mocked by patrons for my pathetic display. But I did see a lot of smiles. And not one person said, now that's a Harvard grad.

"In Tokyo, I met with a teacher of Japanese etiquette who volunteered I wasn't her type. And when I asked her why, she just said, 'face.' In Ghana, after accepting a royal invitation, I was kicked out of the Ashanti Palace by the Queen Mother, because her favorite soap opera was starting.

"I understand that I am preaching modesty and connection at a time when this is not in style. We are living through a period of extreme narcissism. Our current leadership in Washington believes that empathy is a weakness and that our nation stands supreme and alone. Add to that, everyone here today has a phone in their pocket that is algorithmically programmed to celebrate you and you alone by making you the protein-maxing hero of your own special journey.

"Much has been written about how isolated and siloed we've become, but for me, the antidote is quite simple. By de-emphasizing what makes us special — in your case, a prized degree — we can really find one another, not as an exercise in virtue, but as a path towards greater laughter, love, and real growth."

"ICEbergs." 😂🤣👇

[Mike Levin @MikeLevin]

Let me get this straight.

The leading Senate Republican walked into the White House Sunday with a bipartisan deal to end the TSA nightmare. Fund everything except ICE now, get TSA agents paid today, handle ICE separately.

Senate Republicans and Democrats said yes.

Trump said no.

Why? Because Trump is holding TSA workers’ paychecks hostage to try and force Congress to pass the SAVE Act, a voter suppression bill that would knock millions of eligible Americans off the voter rolls. He wants to make it harder for Americans to vote.

Like a petulant child flipping the board when he’s losing, Trump torched a bipartisan deal his own Senate leader handed him on a silver platter. His tantrum continues as he unleashes ICE agents into airports. Agents with zero screening training, zero TSA authority, and a good chance of making everything worse.

Democrats have been ready to fund TSA from day one. What we refuse to do is write a blank check for an ICE agency that gunned down two American citizens in Minneapolis and still demands the ability to kick down doors without a judge’s approval while hiding behind masks.

We will not pass the SAVE Act either. Call it what it is: the SAVE REPUBLICANS Act. Non-citizen voting is already illegal. It was illegal yesterday. It will be illegal tomorrow. This bill solves nothing except the Republican party’s losing electoral math.

Fund TSA. Reform ICE. End this today.

Trump is the one standing in the way.
