The news has been nasty and brutish lately, but there were also some stories this week that made us grin (or, at least, nod with satisfaction). Here's a sampling.
POTUS Protects Choice — President Biden signed an executive order today that provides for access to contraception and medication abortion,
ensures emergency care, enlists volunteer legal representation, safeguards patient
privacy, and more. The other great thing he did was use the signing to hammer home how
important it is to elect more Democrats this fall. Choice is on the
ballot, kids!
Biff is Miffed — "Justice" Kavanaugh fled out the back door of a Morton's steakhouse in DC last night after pro-choice protesters showed up to peacefully demonstrate. Suddenly, Biff feels all umbrage-y about not having any privacy, and the internet is rightly dragging him for it. Best so far: "Poor, poor Justice Back Alley Kavanaugh."
George vs. Gym — HBO has signed on to produce and air George Clooney's upcoming documentary about sexual abuse at Ohio State University, including Gym Jordan's real-time knowledge of it. We'll just leave that right here.
Jenna Has a Brain (Not a Giuliani) Fart — On the eve of Patsy Baloney's closed-door testimony to the January 6 Committee, subpoenaed Trump "lawyer" Jenna Ellis went after President Biden for giving the Presidential Medal of Freedom to two, as she put it, "losers," Simone Biles and Megan Rapinoe. Such projection! Simone's perfect response: "Who is Jenna Ellis? Asking for everyone."
Jobs, Jobs, Jobs — The US economy added 372,000 jobs in June. That's more than economists expected. And guess what? Gas prices are coming down. Is that why the Trumpsters have gotten "Hunter Biden" trending all of a sudden?
Domestic Terrorists in the Slammer — Albertan "Freedom" Convoy leader Tamara Lich was hauled back off to the hoosegow for bail violations before Canada Day. Now, she'll stay rotting in there until her trial. Here in the US, jailed insurrectionist Stewart Rhodes is offering to testify to the January 6 Committee in public. We don't know how the committee will handle it, but the headline here is that Rhodes is even making the offer in the first place. Stuff is happening! We cats PURR.
UPDATE: More good news: Elon Musk is terminating his takeover of Twitter. Let's hope Twitter makes his life miserable over it — kind of like heckling a Supreme Court justice in a restaurant. We cats PURR.
