My Parks and Rec Fanfiction

Trump Poses a Clear and Present Danger
It was a busy Sunday that included a shooting in a Houston church, the hospitalization of Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin, Trump announcing his alignment with Russia against NATO (real), the Senate voting for the Ukraine-Israel aid bill, and, of course: the Super Bowl.
He Is Not a Good Dude
Lots of presidential, and presidential hopefuls (and hopefully-never-agains) news today: The Biden classified documents report is out, the Nevada primary and caucus results are in, and the Supreme Court has heard Colorado’s case over whether Trump can stay on the ballot.

Nancy Would Never

What a Hero I Am
The border deal has hit a speed bump, King Charles III has an unspecified cancer, L.A. is still being boxed around by a historic storm. But also… did you see that Tracy Chapman duet?
My Guy, I Am Begging You… Get Therapy

Chug Some Chocolate Baybee
There’s a small update on what will be the US’ reaction to the deadly drone strike and a big update on the surprise House investigation that popped up on Monday. Plus, a Jackie Robinson statue was stolen, Elon Musk won’t get billions, and it’s time to talk about the (obviously fake) Taylor Swift conspiracy theories.
Ken Paxton… Never Not the Worst.
Today in the news there’s an update on the deadly Jordan drone strike, A failed Murdaugh trial request, an IRS agent has been sentenced, a currently unknown House Dem is in trouble, and Ken Paxton remains horrific.
Wishes and Rallies

So much news!
Famously He’s Terrible!
As Alabama executes a man using nitrogen gas for the first time, Trump testifies for three minutes in the E. Jean Carroll case, Peter Navarro is sentenced for defying a January 6th subpoena, and please make this RNC draft subpoena make sense!
