“Let’s check in on the contentious Republican Senate primary in Ohio, led by the Yale Law graduate and famous author JD Vance. The venture capitalist became famous for writing the book turned horrible movie Hillbilly Elegy, where he explained that white people become racist because they’re poor. Yeah, that’s why they say the N-word with a hard R, because they can’t afford a vowel.” —Trevor Noah
“During the book’s promotional run in 2016, Vance was a vocal critic of Trump. He was a self-described ‘Never Trump guy’, called him ‘unfit for office’ and ‘cultural heroin’, with policy proposals that ‘range from immoral to absurd’. Not any more. Vance has embraced Trump during the campaign, releasing an ad in which he proclaims: ‘Trump fought back, and so have I.’ His GOP rivals have similarly toadied up to the former president; competitor Josh Mandel’s slogan is ‘Pro-God. Pro-Gun. Pro-Trump.’ Whether it’s JD Vance or Kevin McCarthy or countless other Republicans, the entire party right now is basically Mean Girls. They all talk shit about Trump behind his back, but then to his face it’s all like, ‘Oh my God, Donald, you look so hot!’” —Trevor Noah
“A judge ruled that former president Trump is still in contempt of court for refusing to comply with a subpoena as part of the New York attorney general’s investigation into his company. The judge rejected Trump’s affidavit that he couldn’t find the requested documents. It doesn’t surprise me at all that Trump says he can’t find the documents they want. I’m betting the Trump Organization didn’t have actual files. I doubt they even recorded any of their meetings. When you get a Google calendar invite from the Trump Organization, it just says ‘Subject: The Thing,’ ‘Location: The Place,’ ‘Attendees: The Guys.’” —Seth Meyers

and Orwell’s 1984.”
