🤡 Eric Schmitt beclowns himself during Jack Smith hearing 🤡 Schmitt concocted an elaborate conspiracy theory that Smith traveled to Atlanta to go to a Hawks game and collude with Fani Willis, and briefly displayed his "evidence" on a poster board before accusing Smith of perjury. There's just one problem -- Schmitt's facts were totally wrong. Smith was actually in Maryland at a Hawkeyes (not a Hawks) game and never met Willis. As Klobuchar told him, "You have your teams wrong." Here's the whole deeply embarrassing sequence:

One of the events that makes Baltimore weird and wonderful - the @TheAVAM 25th annual Kinetic Sculpture Race this morning. Some of the racers include the alma mater, @MSJGaels and the AVAM's own FiFi ...

I looked at these contracts and I have my own fun fact. This is occurring because agencies (not just USAID) are buying subscriptions to Politico's Pro editorial product, not because Politico is getting grants or other federal funding.
Fun Fact: @Politico received USAID funds. Everything makes sense now.

Hallelujah, we can all play Connections and Wordle again. But come on @nytimes, it’s time to negotiate in good faith with your tech workers.
A WARNING TO THE TIMES: Tuesday, we will be returning to work, after a successful Election Week ULP Strike. We clearly demonstrated how valuable our work is to @nytimes. And now we’ll move our fight inside.

These measures are already having an impact. @PPFA just challenged several different abortion restrictions in Missouri, citing the just-passed ballot initiative. plannedparenthood.org/upload…
7 more states voted last night to protect, restore or expand abortion access. But for the first time since Dobbs, 3 GOP-led states defeated similar ballot measures. Here's what happened and what it means. politico.com/news/2024/11/06…

Many people will continue struggling to come to terms with the election results, but there’s still a lot you can do: 1) Be irritable at work 2) Withdraw from people who love you/need you 3) Make an impulsive and self destructive major life decision

Montana, Nevada, Arizona, and Missouri voted for a woman's right to choose while simultaneously voting for the guy who stripped them of that right. Wild times.

if the nyt workers are able to successfully prevent the needle from being published it will be one of the greatest achievements for organized labor since the invention of the weekend
Replying to @Nate_Cohn
As a result, I do not know whether we will be able to publish the needle. There are good reasons to bet against it, though perhaps there are scenarios where things are running super smoothly; alternately, we hit bugs at the start and there's no chance.

Trump is taking advantage of New York’s progressive felon enfranchisement laws to vote today. His home state of Florida is more restrictive about felons like himself voting, but Florida defers to the state where the felon was convicted, @CNN reports. cnn.com/2024/11/05/politics/…

Trump used to oppose voting rights for felons like himself. In 2016 he said it was “so sad” that Democrats were trying to let felons vote and “cancel out the votes of both law enforcement and crime victims.” He said they “should not be allowed to vote.” cnn.com/2016/08/20/politics/…
