“Things are going a little rough for the Biden administration. It’s been nine months, and at this point he might have to deliver his agenda by caesarean.” —Stephen Colbert
“The president’s signature legislation, the $3.5 Trillion Build Back Better plan that would institute universal pre-K, expand Medicare and enact climate protections, has been stuck in negotiations for months. Earlier this week, the administration announced the bill would be scaled back to $1.9 Trillion. They’re also scaling back the bill’s name from Build Back Better to Ack!” —Stephen Colbert
“Between that, Covid, inflation and supply chain issues, among other things, Biden’s approval rating reached a new low this week of 37%. To put that in context, that was the previous guy’s rating right after Charlottesville. Imagine Biden’s aides telling that to their boss – ‘Mr President, the polls are in. The good news: you’re holding strong at Nazi sympathizer.’” —Stephen Colbert
“There is an understudied and controversial employment loophole that allows disabled people to be paid less than minimum wage, some as low as 22 cents an hour. How can a wage be lower than the minimum wage? Minimum is supposed to be the minimum. It’s like when the weatherman says ‘it’s below freezing out there’. Yo man, once something is frozen, it’s frozen. Get out of here with your weather voodoo.” —Trevor Noah

of the Earth and Orwell’s 1984.”
