In Which We Discuss:

1. It’s Epstein week so…now is not the time to fact check! Spread those memes with courage!

2. As her brain short-circuits, now’s the time to give Marjorie Taylor Green’s brain the correct inputs.

3. Did you know that if you’re elected as a Democratic Socialist you can keep identifying as one while in office?

4. The shutdown is over and…how many times have we had to write the headline “Democrats snatch defeat from the jaws of victory”?
