Quite a number of fun things going on in the news these days. Here are a few.
A crazy insurrectionist who attacked police at the Capitol on January 6 — and permanently ended the career of Sgt. Aquilino Gonell, who as a result was stuck with more than $20,000 in medical bills — just got sentenced to more than seven years in prison. He's the latest in a long line of Trumpsters who have been hauled off to the hoosegow, which is a wonderful thing. (Mind you, if they had been Black, they wouldn't have lived to be arrested and tried.)
Ray Epps is suing Tucker Carlson and Fox "News." Epps is the MAGA moron who Carlson and the Fox nutcases told viewers was a plant by the government to get them to break the law on Insurrection Day. Epps got so many death threats that he had to sell his business in Arizona and high-tail it to an undisclosed location in, they say, Utah. We're rooting for his lawsuit, of course, but you can't help wondering whether he understands that Donald Trump has ruined his life.
Republican Eli Crane of Arizona is a racist POS and he learned today not to mess with Ohio Democrat Joyce Beatty. Go, Joyce!
Hunter Biden is not silently taking Donald Trump's slings and arrows, and we're kinda here for it.
Finally, an appeals court has just ordered New York's Congressional map to be redrawn. This is good news because the previous map, a travesty, led to four seats getting flipped from blue to red in 2022. (Lyin' George Santos's seat on Long Island was one of them.) So, thank you, Marc Elias and your intrepid team of democracy-defending legal beagles. The decision will probably get appealed to the state's tippy-top court, but our paws are crossed for ultimate victory — except please, map gods, don't take us out of Paul Tonko's district and put us back into MAGA idiot "Elise" Stefanik's. That would make us cats HISS.
