Yesterday’s Schmittacular was so much fun, let’s see what everybody else had to laugh about it! Hahahaha, they made Our Liz asterisk “f*ckup.” Good lord, if only Merrick Garland had even thought about abusing his office to git Trump. (Public Notice) This is a problem though: On the Right, they’re pretending the gotcha was true, and since Eric Schmitt is a brazen liar, he’s going with it. (The Bulwark) And the corporate media? Well it’s just a “gaffe” and a whoopsie! (The Fucking News) The best part of this one is the inclusion of the local (to Schmitt) St. Louis news team covering it like a sports story, because basketball, but going pretty fuckin hard in the paint. (Status Kuo)
The many many ways Trump’s plan to force elections officials to send mail ballots via certified mail — including you would have to be home to sign for it LOL — was stupid and the worst! (ProPublica)

Kyrsten Sinema’s married PTSD (?) vet ex-boyfriend trashed her house and blamed it on her being all up in Palantir. Yikes all around! (Alternet)
Me too, David Bernstein! Me too!
I can’t get over the fact that the President offered $5,000 to every adult American, and adult Americans, according to polls, said “Ugh, would you please stop bothering me with your lame ideas?”
This is just absolutely stupid: Sean Duffy has moved on from yelling at travelers to put a suit on and instead wants TSA agents to stand for however many hours they’re checking our IDs. Why? To be a dick, I guess! (ABC News)
Made it five extremely short paragraphs into this article about the “theobros,” how far will you make it? (Religion News)
Sicily used to smell like orange blossoms but then came the Mafia (kleptocapitalism) and climate change. (Fodor’s)
