1 Minute Political Update

A federal judge ordered the Trump administration to return a slavery exhibit it removed from a Philadelphia museum—Trump believes slavery was a hoax—while officials say the Potomac River sewage spill hasn’t impacted drinking water quality but warned against contact with it, including fishing, kayaking, and dumping the Epstein files in it.

Donald Trump seeks to revive the U.S. coal industry, branding it a key component of national and economic security (not to mention emphysema) while the Department of Homeland Security has sent social media companies subpoenas for the names of Americans who criticize ICE. (Freedom of speech is like milk—it has an expiration date.)

Instead of answering House Democrats’ questions about the Epstein files, Pam Bondi praised Trump and the stock market (she’s a class act—hold the class) while House Republicans passed the SAVE America Act, which would require proof of citizenship to vote even though non-citizens don’t vote (another class act—again, hold the class).

Stephen Miller says ICE doesn’t have to follow the Constitution when it comes to obtaining a warrant to search someone’s home (jackboots, anyone?) while Donald Trump is excluding Democrats from the annual meeting of governors (jackass, anyone?).

Donald Trump said yesterday’s Super Bowl half-time show with Bad Bunny was an affront to the greatness of America (racism, anyone?) while a federal judge unfroze funds for a New York City transportation project that Trump withheld unless he got Dulles Airport and Penn Station renamed for him (narcissism, anyone?)

DESCRIPTION

At the National Prayer Breakfast, Donald Trump called Kentucky Congressman Thomas Massie a moron and claimed you can’t be a person of faith and vote for a Democrat (how Christian of him) while economists said Trump has given us the worst January since the Great Depression (how thoughtful of him).

Donald Trump has called for U.S. elections to be nationalized despite the Constitution giving election oversight to the states (he claims the Constitution is a hoax) while Bill and Hillary Clinton will testify to the House Oversight Committee on Jeffrey Epstein (Bill because he was photographed with Epstein and Hillary because of her emails).

Donald Trump is shutting down the Kennedy Center for renovations—expect a bowling alley and a multiplex theater that will run “Melania” around the clock—while Trump is suing Grammy Awards’ host Trevor Noah for making a joke about Trump wanting Greenland as a replacement for Epstein’s Island. (Not a funny joke but probably true.)

Donald Trump is suing the IRS for $10 billion for disclosing his tax returns to the media six years ago, saying it caused irreparable harm to his reputation—there’s no bottom, is there?—while at the same time, he’s allowing ICE to remain in Minnesota where they’re free to kill U.S. citizens and snatch up small children. (There’s still no bottom, is there?).

Donald Trump announced he wants to de-escalate tensions in Minneapolis following the killing of two U.S. citizens by ICE by saying he wants to de-escalate tensions and not doing anything about it while Secretary of State Marco Rubio pledged to turn Venezuela from a criminal state to a criminal state run by a criminal U.S. president.
