    In Which We Discuss:

    1. MMT: Now you don’t have to read the book. (But you should!)

    2. To celebrate his 80th, Rudy Giuliani was served birthday cake and birthday indictment papers.

    3. Democracy is not, in fact, on the ballot in New York State care of the state Dems.

    4. Democrats shocked at 700th poll showing Joe Biden losing battleground states.

    5. The Trump Trial strategy can’t rely on jurors trusting Michael Cohen as a non-liar. We know he’s a liar. Work around it.

    6. Samuel Alito’s wife: Just another SCOTUS spouse working to overthrow the government.

    5. Like the collection of old foggety people that it is, Congress sets its sights on banning fun next.

    6. The return of George Santos, queen of the return.
