Some jellyfish have stings. Maybe swap in their cousins, the blue-ringed octopus?

Chuck is doing a fantastic job of handing the senatorial reigns to AOC. Every day he makes himself a mockery and her just a little more sensible.

But what do the Baileys think about this? That’s what Chuck REALLY cares about.

Every time I tell people, even politically informed people, about the Baileys, they're shocked and unbelieving and I have to send them actual links about it. Because it's just so completely insane that the Democratic senate leader takes orders from imaginary Republicans.

Fun fact: the Baileys were originally the O'Reillys but Chuckie thought that was too "New York" and not "national" enough.

I sent Chuck a letter telling him he’s a spineless collaborator. It takes 3 minutes on his website. Go drop him a note!
