“Over a week out from the midterm elections, it’s now clear that Republicans have taken control of the House. I know, it’s disappointing, though it’s nice to see Republicans take the House without any zip ties. The current House minority leader, Kevin McCarthy, will lead a slim Republican majority, smaller than many projected before the midterms. So it’s bad, but it’s not as bad you feared. It’s the political equivalent of Papa John’s.” —Stephen Colbert
“McCarthy, a Trump acolyte from California, has a horrible job where horrible people have the power to make him do horrible things, such as Marjorie Taylor Greene. The rightwing conspiracist congresswoman from Georgia endorsed McCarthy as speaker in exchange for ‘a lot of power and a lot of leeway’ including committee appointments to investigate Democratic ‘traitors and criminals’. I can’t wait to see the investigation she launches. Maybe, What’s Hunter Biden’s wifi password? Who distributed spoons to the gazpacho police? Where does the water in my sponge go at night? Is it siphoned off to a secret Jewish space loofah?” —Stephen Colbert

and Orwell’s 1984.”
