The Hot Tip Monthly: March

Meant to be read on your desktop with a seltzer in hand, if I may be so bold.

Welcome back to Hot Tip, dearest darlins. Eggs from the farmers market this weekend were literally a dollar per egg, but Trump’s new Secretary of Agriculture Brooke Rollins has a solution: “backyard chickens” at every home in America. Cute idea, love it girlie!!! Just one thing — who is gonna buy me a backyard?

I just told her Brooke Rollins’ plan.

Today, a very special edition of Hot Tip is landing in your inboxes!!! It’s the first ever monthly mag, which will be for paid subscribers only going forward, but which is free for everyone this month, because I love ya and shit sucks right now! (+ if you want the next one in April, please sign up now, while it’s discounted!)

But first, quick tips: Donald T***p is addressing Congress in just a couple hours, and given his tendency to blow shit up right at the buzzer, we’ll do a deeper dive into politics later this week. Some democrats are bringing fired federal workers as their guests, while others are boycotting the speech altogether. In my dream scenario, they’re all at Dave & Busters and Ed Markey is playing Dance Dance Revolution with AOC. In actuality, they’ll be meeting with constituents and hosting virtual town halls.

High tariffs hit Canada, Mexico, and China today and will soon be hitting American consumers — okay, but have we considered backyard grocery stores? Trump cut off all millitary aid to Ukraine because the concept of an alliance is as foreign to him as marital fidelity or not shitting one’s pants (there’s no proof of this, but I’m not an actual journalist and I just know it’s true so I’m saying it.) Zelenskyy indicated he is open to talking with Trump again, but in the meantime you can donate to Ukraine’s war efforts here, and maybe even win this t-shirt with a Zelenskyy quote from Friday’s god-awful meeting.
