**State of the Day**
Hey there, reader!
Sometimes it just feels like there’s a lot happening, and today is definitely one of those days.
Peak French Laundry Gavin + 2 Reptiles
California Governor Gavin Newsom’s recent expression is something you can’t forget. Credit goes to Jack Mac from Barstool for highlighting this moment—it’s something else, really.
Newsom appeared on Kara Swisher’s Pivot Podcast, aiming to replicate the successes of Trump and JD Vance for 2024.
Interestingly, he’s been inspired by Taylor Swift lately. He posted a clip that uses her lyrics to take a jab at Trump.
“Okay, well,” Swisher says, and that’s when the brilliance of the moment was captured.
As Swisher closes her eyes, looking serious, Newsom laughs but you can almost sense the panic beneath the surface.
“I enjoy everything from her old catalog,” he mentions right before the laughter turned a bit odd. “Old catalog?” Swisher counters. “But I also like all the newer versions, the Taylor version. That’s how inclusive my respect is for her.”
To which Swisher quips, “Now that’s the answer from a politician.”
This was reminiscent of Trump not being able to name a notorious biblical poem—it’s like a testament to the bizarre nature of his supporters.
Jack Mack remarked, “The robot Reptile’s brain has broken like he; it’s peak Laundry Gavin in France.”
A Brawl
Honestly, nothing gets my morning going like seeing foreign officials going at it, literally, during an official meeting.
This week in Mexico, a senator pushed for Trump’s stance on using military action against the cartel, which sparked a physical confrontation. Surprise, surprise—the cartels probably won’t like this one.
This was the first altercation between two Mexican senators.
A rather awkward guy tried to step in, and it didn’t go too well.
It was definitely chaotic.
To be frank, I’m not going deep into the ins and outs of Mexican politics here. The cartels, as Trump puts it, are indeed bad actors. It’s about time Washington raised the stakes to the point that there’s real tension among Mexican senators.
After all, both of these individuals had accusations of financial wrongdoing hanging over them, so it’s not shocking.
A local journalist summed it up poorly by saying, “If we don’t tackle our Narco government and hand over these corrupt politicians, we’re just going to keep facing this issue,” Oscar Ramirez stated.
Liberal Panda
I’ve long suspected this. It seems like, to some extent, liberals are akin to human pandas. They’re not really into preserving their own lineage.
This graph shows a significant drop in fertility rates among liberals. Sure, general birth rates are going down, but those lagging behind seem to tie their delays more to “climate change” rather than their fancy $5 coffees from hipster shops.
