Update to Demand That ‘Krazy Kari’ Lake Produce Her ‘Evidence’ Of Alleged Fraud In The Primary Election (And 2020 General Election).

Paul Krugman On The Inflation Reduction Act (Updated)
Economist Paul Krugman writes, Republicans Flail and Fail on Taxes: Republicans are, of course, attacking the legislation. But when I look at the substance of those attacks, such as it is, I can’t help feeling more cheerful than I have in months.

A Satirical Take On Silent Sinema, Our Whimsical ‘Manic Pixie Dream Senator’
Above: Arizona Sen. Kyrsten Sinema as Norma Desmond in Sunset Boulevard. Iconic ending: Norma descends her grand staircase and makes an impromptu speech about how happy she is to be making a film again, ending with the film's classic line, "All right, Mr. DeMille, I'm ready for my close-up." The Washington Post's satirist, Alexandra Petri, couldn't resist taking a swipe at Silent Sinema. I just want this bill to have some fun (and help the rich avoid taxes)! Just
