I have never shot a dog, tried to overthrow democracy, started an illegal war over oil, sold arms to our enemies, or even broken into a crappy Beltway hotel. Can I be in charge of something, already?

Someone find their director of marketing and stomp on his instep, please.

Names of some real bills written by actual congresspeople, on our dime:

Hands Off Our Home Appliances Act
Liberty in Laundry Act
Clothes Dryers Reliability Act
Refrigerator Freedom Act
Stop Unaffordable Dishwasher Standards Act

Again, I did not name these. These came from the brain trust of Very Serious Men and Women of the Grand Old Party.

That's nice, Guardian, but as a Californian, here is what you really do during an earthquake:

1. Look up from your phone and go "huh?"

2. Wonder if that was an earthquake.

3. Ask someone nearby if it was an earthquake. They will say it was a garbage truck.

4. Confirm it was an earthquake by going on the socials.

5. Spend the next hour on social media, forgetting why you were there in the first place.

6. DoorDash some food, because you've been through a lot today.

Dearest internet youth culture:

May we please have a new slang word to replace "cringe?" As I am now seeing that word in the msm and have no way to describe the situation accurately.

Best,

I wonder what the effect of nearly a decade of the Trump Fundraising Machine has been on donations to megachurches and other religious organizations? Is he siphoning off some of that money or is there a synergistic effect?
