Schrödinger's Mitch McConnell
We give up the ghost on knowing what’s up with Mitch McConnell, while Thomas Massie brings out the gallows humor, and Trump puts another nail in NATO's coffin. This week, Congressman Maxwell Frost talks zombie congress, Gen Z progressives and (sigh) Alf. Margaret Cho and Langston Kerman know the truth is out there - but in here, it’s mostly jokes about Heated Rivalry and trying to poop.
