“It took an armed insurrection stoked by the president and fueled by insane lies about election fraud to finally put some distance between a few Republicans and Trump. In the immediate aftermath of January 6th, even Lindsey Graham briefly suggested that he might break with the president – ‘All I can say is count me out, enough is enough,’ he said on the Senate floor. I believe he was reciting a monologue from the Tennessee Williams play A Streetcar Named De-liar, because it won’t surprise you to learn that Graham almost immediately did a 180. He probably thought that by calling out Trump’s bad behavior one time he’d get to co-host a podcast with Obama and Springsteen.” —Seth Meyers
“Let’s check in on the efforts to apprehend and prosecute those involved in the January 6th Capitol attack, such as one man who texted an ex photos and videos of the riot along with the message, ‘If you can’t see the election was stolen, you’re a moron.’ Yeah, ‘you’re a moron,’ said the man insulting his ex after texting her video evidence of his federal crimes. The ex did not take too kindly to being called a moron, and promptly turned him into the FBI. He now faces up to 20 years in prison. You go, girl! That’s how you know you won the breakup – ‘Did you hear about Chelsea? She is doing amazing, she got a killer haircut, she’s dating a great new guy and she sent Richard to federal prison. Slay, queen!’” —Stephen Colbert

“A magisterial collection. An emotional roller coaster. Soon to be a cult classic.
A combination of Bukowski’s The Last Night of the Earth and Orwell’s 1984.”
