Doctors at the CDC say children should receive Covid vaccines. A
disgraced ex-environmental lawyer who spent 20 years abusing heroin
says they shouldn't. For busy parents, it can be hard to know who to
trust.

We wanted to understand the theory that Joe Biden was executed and
replaced by clones in 2020. So we talked with three involuntarily
celibate crypto investors at a Whataburger in Buford.

Cliff’s Note: Time for Democratic Leadership & Message Upgrade—Bring On the Fighters, Not the Flinchers

Two days ago, I wrote about the stunning reaction by Democratic House Leader Hakeem Jeffries and longtime elder statesman, Rep. Jerry Nadler, to the Baby Doc Duvalier unit of MAGA busting into Nadler’s New York office and illegally threatening and handcuffing one of his aides.

They used the language of being “troubled” and “alarmed,” the kinda crap you say when a Republican sneaks a tax cut for private jet repairs into a bill, or you find out creeper Mike Johnson “monitors” his son’s porn collection like he’s Billy Baldwin from the film Sliver. You know, some rancid yet regular Republican occurrence.

However, when the GOP Gestapo known as ICE—who refuse to identify themselves, are as warrantless as a Putin stooge visiting your 5th floor hotel balcony and cover their faces because they KNOW there’s Nuremberg Trials awaiting them down the road—break into your congressional office and threaten everyone simply for giving refuge to peaceful protestors, we’re long past a point where mouths can be mealy.

I shared my messaging proposal on this in the Monday letter, which you can and should read. But now we have a new challenge…because, hen came Chuck Schumer. Standing up and opposing Donald Trump’s bleach-blonde-badly-built-butch-body bill by saying “I agree with Elon Musk,” is messaging brought to you by crystal meth. Making it even worse, holding up Musk’s tweet like he was proving it existed to a principal was some Mad-Men-age shit. Cringe level? Kevin Sorbo “acting.”

Senator Schumer, please, for the good of our country, hand over leadership to someone who knows how to play this game. May I suggest Chris Murphy? Tammy Duckworth? Cory Booker? Because, agreeing with Elon Musk is like your grandpa telling you he’s “hip with the TikToks.”

The messaging part of this should be so easy, but I guess I have to explain it: ...
