I heard about the MTG/ Boebert dust-up last night on TV and cracked up. Reading it here this morning, it's just as funny the second time around. "You copied me- You're a little bitch." Of course, when I take a step back it's horrific that this is our government, but there's been a lot of horrific governing happening lately.

After the railroad strike was averted, the Biden administration kept negotiating and applying pressure to negotiate paid sick leave for railroad workers. Looks like they did so successfully for IBEW which represents four of the largest railroad carriers:
Texas Gov. Greg Abbott took his Twitter feed to some low places over the weekend when he was duped by a satire website into sharing literal fake news about country music icon Garth Brooks.
Abbott linked to a story about Brooks from a satire website called The Dunning-Kruger Times. If the name alone isn’t enough of a giveaway, the site states outright that it’s part of “a network of parody, satire, and tomfoolery,” and adds: “If you believe that it is real, you should have your head examined.”
The story Abbott shared says Brooks was booed off the stage at the 123rd Annual Texas Country Jamboree in Hambriston, Texas.
But the jamboree isn’t a real event, and Hambriston isn’t a real place ― details that apparently raised no red flags with the governor as he tweeted the story.
“Go woke. Go broke,” Abbott tweeted. “Good job, Texas.”
Texas, for the record, loves Brooks as much as anywhere. He sold out the 72,000-seat NRG Stadium in Houston and the 80,000-seat AT&T Stadium in Arlington when his tour visited the Lone Star State last year.

SCOTUS has ruled that 230 men can continue sueing Ohio state over abuse. Abuse that gym Jordan was complicit in covering up. Sadly that's not likely to cost him his seat
This was on the NYT Daily podcast, but I hadn't really seen these things mentioned....but basically McCarthy has lost control of his crazy town. I had posted about the whole MTG vs. Boebert thing about impeachment, but this is bonkers.
