Quote for the Week: “I had such big dreams and expectations as a younger person, but what happened is they get sort of fizzled by life.” – Jennifer Coolidge, accepting her Golden Globe for White Lotus
BIG CUP: THE WEEK’S TOP STORIES
First the good news: CA Democratic Rep. Robert Garcia was sworn into office on the U.S. Constitution, beneath which were a photo of his parents lost to Covid, his citizenship certificate, and an original Superman #1 from the Library of Congress. Light and spirit in a dark world.
The GOP House of Horrors Show begins, with endless hearings on hot MAGA buttons guaranteed to exhaust us for the next two years. Classified documents continue to be found at properties once occupied by Joe Biden, providing the mainstream media lots of opportunity to parrot the right-wing echo chamber. And a 6-year-old shot his teacher in Newport News, VA, probably with the gun Mommy left on the kitchen table.
