You’re basically a telemarketer who gets to decide if we occasionally send money to Ukraine (How are we supposed to make stuff up?)

The swamp has somehow begun to drain itself, with nearly 40 members of Congress announcing plans to retire at the end of their terms. Which is very unusual, I mean, some members are retiring because the House and the Senate have become gridlocked by partisanship, but most of them just want to get away from Lauren Boebert and Ted Cruz. That, and avoiding the grind of fundraising for re-election every two years. The unfortunate secret about being a congressman that people don’t know is that you spend most of your time calling and begging for money.

In other congressional news, lawyers for Joe Biden’s son Hunter told a Republican-led committee that he is prepared to be questioned at their impeachment inquiry next month – but only if the hearings are held in public. Republicans don’t want that. They don’t want it on TV. They’re like ‘if we don’t do this behind closed doors, how are we supposed to make stuff up?’ —Jimmy Kimmel
