David Waldman reaches weekday apogee with Greg Dworkin, as they round up the news, and even round up the round ups of the news, to create our Wednesday KITM news singularity:

Omicron could possibly be on the decline, so... Good enough! New York is lifting its “Mask or Vax” rule. Massachusetts is dropping its school mask mandate... and New Jersey… and Delaware.  The Ottawa Freedom Convoy hasn’t yet taken credit for moving those governments into action, but they sure will when Ontario drops their mandates. What fortuitous timing for this populist, grassroots movement to spontaneously blossom, eh?

What would you do if you were a New York hipster couple that stole billions in bitcoin? Exactly. In comparison, Charlie Kirk thinks small, by parlaying his “Charlie Kirk First” ideology into an “America First” academy. The problem was, Charlie didn’t want to figure out the details, nor did the people he hired, nor did the people they hired, and they blew through the $40 million before anyone could ask the DoorDash guy to handle it.

Election shenaniganer Tina Peters was arrested again, this time for deceiving her judge, Tina assaulted the arresting officers, and was hatching a new conspiracy while being taken away in handcuffs.

The RNC has gone so far afield it’s making Mitch McConnell seem like a Democrat. In fact, they might end up making even Joe Manchin seem like a Democrat. The Supreme Court can’t convince anyone of their impartiality, so they gave up trying. Nancy Pelosi now has the elbow room to ban stock trading on Capitol Hill.
