In the wake of Republican Missouri Sen. Eric Schmitt’s failed “gotcha” moment with former special counsel Jack Smith, MS NOW reports that staff warned the lawmaker that text messages provided to the committee were unvetted.

JoAnna Mendoza, a 20-year Marine veteran and former Drill Instructor, is hoping to flip Arizona's 6th district blue after Trump's signature legislation brought about "devastation" in southern Arizona. "People are paying attention, they are suffering, and they know who is in charge."
