Welcome back to Hot Tip, to nearly 3k of you. Hot damn! And thank god/dess, what was going to be recession summer is officially Haim summer, with their new album coming out June 20. Of course, it still could be recession summer—it probably will be—but I am choosing to ignore that very real possibility for at least the 4:20 duration of this song.
First, some quick tips: The dumbest senator in America, Tommy Tuberville, is leaving Congress next year to run for dumbest governor in America. Dems (including Hot Tip crush Rep. Greg Casar) are holding town halls in GOP districts where big boy macho man reps are too afraid to meet with their own constituents. Pete Buttigieg spent three hours on Andrew Schulz’ podcast FLAGRANT to explain politics to a male, right-leaning, I’m assuming gross? audience—and the comments are shockingly positive. Former congressman George Santos was sentenced to more than seven years in federal prison after pleading guilty to wire fraud and aggravated identity theft but at least he learned his lesson—
And Trump has started selling 2028 merch, a grift so ridiculous you’d be better off spending your money buying the newly for-sale Fyre Festival brand. And a quick cute lil reminder to journalists covering Trump and asking him if he plans to do a Constitutionally forbidden thing—in his own word—STOP!
