In Which We Discuss:

1. Our prop guide will be in your inbox this week!

2. LA managed to snag the lead story in the New York Times last week which shows just how big a catastrophe the city council was having

3. Catherine Cortez-Masto, the Julia Brownley of 2022

4. In the wise words of Herschel Walker himself, he’s “just not that smart.”

5. Nancy Pelosi governs the same way she tears into a Slim Jim

6. Can somebody explain Elon Musk, Russia, and Twitter to us please? We’re not interested enough to research it.
