This is what it looks like when pre-rehearsed coordinated talking points go out to a goober host with zero knowledge or curiosity about what actually happened in the real world. Just deeply embarrassing for everyone involved. Back in Missouri, we still await return calls/emails
Eric Schmitt is on The Charlie Kirk Show (yes it's still called that) -- and believe it or not, hosts are pretending he owned Jack Smith with his embarrassingly botched gotcha "You caught him in this NBA game too in Atlanta" "Yeah," Schmitt replies There's no mention at any point that Schmitt had all of his facts wrong

Anyone discussing this race needs to be very careful about putting the name of a man who would be America's first Muslim senator next to "9/11" on very thin grounds. It reads like a dog whistle.
As the nation prepares to mark 25 years since Sept. 11, 2001, Abdul El-Sayed, the Democratic nominee for U.S. Senate in Michigan, may be facing the risk of renewed scrutiny and fresh political attack. cbsn.ws/4ycfaWy

Sinclair uses its nearly 200 stations as a MAGA megaphone. Now it can gobble up even more stations after a recent move by Trump's FCC. lincolnsquare.media/p/trumps… Subscribe to read the latest from @NewsJennifer Schulze for Lincoln Square!

Most of the new talking heads come from conservative media or right wing think tanks—or both. Some are just quacks. All seem to share Weiss’ political ideology. lincolnsquare.media/p/why-ba… Subscribe to read the latest from @NewsJennifer

Hunter Biden's laptop is red meat for MAGA. So Bari Weiss has hired a tabloid "reporter" for the CBS investigative unit who has done obsessive coverage on that topic. lincolnsquare.media/p/cbs-ne… Become a Lincoln Loyal Member to read the latest from @NewsJennifer

Turns out one of Weiss' new hires was one of Epstein's biggest penpals, sending him cringey and disturbing emails. But she's fighting to keep him on staff anyway. Subscribe to read the latest from @NewsJennifer for Lincoln Square lincolnsquare.media/p/cbs-ne…

If providing news and information were the goal, then journalists like Gayle King or Norah O’Donnell would be asking the questions — not Trump-approved pundit Bari Weiss. lincolnsquare.media/p/cbs-ne… Read the latest from @NewsJennifer for Lincoln Square

This is the pitch for the new guy? That he's hitting the road to do the news in other locations around the country. omg. what a crazy, innovative idea. Surely no one has ever done that before...

The president who is building a gold leafed ball room would like the rest of America to practice austerity
Trump: "You can give up certain products. You could give up pencils. Because under the China policy, every child can get 37 pencils. They only need 1 or 2. They don't need that many. You always need steel. You don't need 37 dolls for your daughter. 2 or 3 is nice. So we're doing things right."
