Congress debated adding a question about citizenship to the US Census.
Representative Glenn Grothman of Wisconsin, being the full-blooded racist that he is, wants to keep immigrants from being counted. And to promote that, he thought he had found a gotcha clause that would just burn the Democrats. He forgot all about Representative Jamie Raskin:
Grothman: First of all, our pledge of allegiance, which we say every day, we pledge allegiance to the republic for which we stand - right - that the flag in the republic for which we stand.

New Hampshire State Representative Jess Edwards of the Gross Old Pervs Party, is refusing to apologize for being overly interested in "ripe" and "fertile" teenage girls having to wait until they are 18 years old before getting married. To make the situation worse, he said that he won't apologize because he's the real victim here:
"In an interview with The Daily Beast on Tuesday night, Edwards said using the word 'ripe' was a mistake, but that he did not deserve the hundreds of emails he received calling him a pedophile and worse."
“I misspoke.
Well, well, well. Ron DeSantis almost incurred the wrath of Nick Fury!

Who smuggles snakes down their pants?
Vermont is poised to pass a groundbreaking measure forcing major polluting companies to help pay for damages caused by the climate crisis, which is being watched around the country. Via The Guardian:
Modeled after the Environmental Protection Agency’s Superfund program, which forces companies to pay for toxic waste cleanup, the climate superfund bill would charge major fossil fuel companies doing business within the state billions of dollars for their past emissions.
The measure would make Vermont the first US state to hold fossil fuel companies liable for their planet-heating pollution.
“If you contributed to a mess, you should play a role in cleaning it up,” Elena Mihaly, vice-president of the Conservation Law Foundation’s Vermont chapter, which is campaigning for the bill, said in an interview.
Spunky Vermont is first state to pass a bill requiring oil companies to pay for climate damage.
As a mother, I'd secretly hoped that Barron Trump would tactfully stay clear of his father's insanity, but nah. He's going to be a delegate at the Republican National Convention. I'm surprised that Trump, who is famously touchy about his height and lies about it all the time, would want Barron towering over him on the teevee!
