“California’s governor, Gavin Newsom, plans to use Texas’s restrictive abortion law as a model for gun control in the state. Under Newsom’s plan, California citizens will be able to sue anyone who makes, distributes or sells the assault weapons, citing supreme court rulings that have allowed the Texas anti-abortion law to stay in effect. The idea is that because the supreme court is allowing this for banning abortion, they’re going to have to allow it for banning guns, too. But here’s the thing: the problem with this idea is that the supreme court can make up whatever rules they like. If they want to strike down these gun laws, they’ll find a way, you know? The supreme court is like that annoying kid that your mom made you have play dates with. ’Tag, I got you!’ ‘Nuh uh, I have a vest that makes me invisible.’ America has gotten so divided right now, that at this point I think maybe some states should just like, secede? And try to do their own thing. Have they tried that before? What’s the worst that could happen?” —Trevor Noah
“Donald Trump and former Fox News host Bill O’Reilly held an event in Orlando that drew disappointing crowd sizes. The event, the first in their planned ‘history tour’, played to an arena with many empty seats, reported the Sun-Sentinel. If the place was any emptier, it would be Don Jr’s head. Though tickets originally sold for upwards of $100, the tour eventually gave away some for free. This happens a lot with things Trump puts his name on. First they’re considered to be valuable, and then everyone realizes they are garbage. We’ve seen this with his ties, his steaks, his university, his children.” —Jimmy Kimmel
