Today I felt compelled to hit the heart emoji less than halfway thru the first paragraph. Quite a doozy there, Rick!
I turned my eyes away for something after opening the newsletter and when I looked back, the snark juice was flowing off my desk and chewing up the carpet (rest assured my small-claims lawsuit will be filed just as soon as Trump recants all his election lies).
I'm sure you had to leave a bunch of deserving candidates off this week's WTF list -- so much raw material, so little space.
If tRump isn't the stupidest person on the planet he must come awfully close. The breadth of what he doesn't know or understand seems to be gargantuan.

FYI according to NOTUS, House members are already allowed to wear sneakers and the rule change would be for people in the Speaker's Lobby (staff and media):
"Hakeem Jeffries says he’s leaning toward changing the strict footwear rules for the Speaker’s Lobby should he lead the chamber next year.
"Congressional Sneaker Caucus Chair Jared Moskowitz told Final NOTUS that while members are allowed to wear sneakers, that standard doesn’t apply to staff or media. 'That adversely affects the female staffers and reporters who stand there all day in heels,' the Florida Democrat said in a statement. 'One could argue I could dramatically benefit from a three-inch heel, but let’s move the rules into the future.' "
Your eye is as sharp as ever Susan. I worded that item carefully to avoid making a mistake. “… may allow members to wear sneakers in official chambers …” Official chambers was my wiggle phrase …
Is NOTUS good? I know it’s legit just haven’t paid that much attention yet ….
NOTUS is excellent. I've been impressed by the reporting -- and the clean copy -- and it's had some good scoops at both the local and national/federal levels. You'd probably recognize some bylines of former Posties too.

Kudos, well done!
Snark juice! So that’s what I’ve been living on…. 😄
