Nightmare debate, Blaire White podcast, the 'Internet Kill Switch, and my interview w/ a senator
Oh, and another cute picture of my dog, of course.
Hey everyone!
I got yelled at by one loyal follower (you know who you are) for not including a picture of the doggo in last week’s newsletter. Don’t worry, you will get one today if you make it all the way till the end.
I truly hope you didn’t watch/have to watch the first presidential debate last night. I had no choice as I had to write about it, but boy it was ugly. And it was truly depressing as a hallmark of the absolute state of our country and political discourse.
That’s enough of that. I recommend you do not tune in to the next debate and instead use your time to enjoy your life or do something that advances society in any way at all.
Speaking of people doing things that actually matter, my boyfriend started his Internal Medicine rotation this week, one of the most intense ones. He is working at a VA branch with veterans and working long hours, six-days-a-week! He looks very handsome in his blue scrubs and I’m very proud of him :)
Reggie is keeping me company during the day and the bf & I still have plenty of time to watch Avatar: The Last Airbender after his shifts. (We’re almost done with Season Two!)
Stay well until next week.
Meme: I absolutely lost my s&%t when I saw this meme on Reddit.
Food Take: My friend and recent podcast guest Blaire White said she likes to eat Ramen Noodle packets raw. That is disgusting even by my (admittedly low) standards!

For this weekend’s podcast, I’ll interview Washington Examiner commentary writer and Fox News regular Tiana Lowe on how progressive policies are wreaking havoc in her home state of California, #MeToo and how young conservative women view feminism, and her economic insights into the 2020 race.

Articles:
Childish Debate Fights and Insults Are Bad. But in my Washington Examiner column reacting to last night’s debate, I argue that Biden’s refusal to condemn dangerous ‘court packing’ proposals is far more threatening to the nation than immature behavior and insults.
The President Has An ‘Internet Kill Switch.’ Read my FEE.org piece explaining why a bipartisan group of lawmakers wants to change that.
No, a Conservative Supreme Court Would Not Be ‘Catastrophic’ For LGBT Rights. In my weekend Washington Examiner column, I sort hyperbole from reality and explain what a 6-3 conservative Supreme Court actually means for the future of gay and transgender rights.
