Who knew Jack Smith was a Caitlin Clark fan?
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Sen. Eric Schmitt tweeted this after a Senate Judiciary hearing where he accused Jack Smith of perjury based on texts about a "Hawks" game; Smith attended an Iowa Hawkeyes college game featuring Caitlin Clark in Maryland on Feb. 3, 2024, not an Atlanta Hawks NBA game.

This implies that the strongest candidate will always win any primary, which is obviously an insane thing to say
A candidate that cannot beat Jasmine Crockett in a primary is a candidate who cannot flip Texas blue. Primaries are good, iron sharpens iron. Let’s see what the Texas dems are made of.

I'll just say that I am truly shocked that one of the most notoriously abusive creeps in business, media, and politics might be involved in something shady. You think you know a guy.

The most fascinating aspect of our politics these days is the scores of people who line up every year fully convinced that they will be the first person in history to come out better off after tying themselves to Trump. It's never happened, but maybe it will for me.
I love that every other ad now is the same AI generated profile photo offering an array of different scam services
The US is definitely a hodgepodge of the poorest and most desperate Europeans. And in a few decades it became unfathomably wealthier than Europe. And then a few decades after that it turned around and helped to rebuild Europe. A pretty impressive hodgepodge.
It's cool how Americans think they descend from the cream of European society rather than the poor, the desperate and a hodgepodge of ethnic minorities and religious lunatics

Huh, so that's what happens when a political party makes a concentrated effort to distance itself from the incredibly unpopular party leader who just stepped down

Trump voters in any other election
THE DEMOCRATS HAVE FLIPPED IOWA'S #SD35:
Mike Zimmer (D)- 51.8%
Katie Whittington (R)- 48.2%
THIS WAS A TRUMP+21 DISTRICT!
I really wish there were trains that went from NJ to Manhattan. Maybe one day we'll build them.
Today I sent a letter to President Trump urging his Administration to reexamine New York’s congestion pricing scheme.
Congestion pricing is a disaster for New Jersey commuters and must receive the close look it deserves from the federal government.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Governor Murphy claims that congestion pricing “has never been well-designed or adequately studied”.
This is false. The MTA conducted an extensive 4,000 page environmental study evaluating the impacts of congestion pricing.

With Adam Gray's victory in CA-13, this map can be filled in. This shows the party that will represent the majority of the population in every county or county-equivalent in the House come January.
Gaetz's vacancy is noted, as are the pending vacancies of Stefanik and Waltz.
