The debt limit talks are still roadblocked by Republicans insisting that the government cut all programs that help children and other vulnerable people to the bone while protecting the tax cuts for the rich.
Marjorie Taylor Greene is one of those rich people:
House Republicans are bidding for steep spending cuts in exchange for raising the debt ceiling. First, though, they paused during their private weekly meeting on Tuesday to bid for something else: Speaker Kevin McCarthy’s used chapstick.
Really.
The fundraising auction of McCarthy’s used cherry lip balm ended when Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) placed a winning $100,000 bid, as confirmed by her spokesperson.
That’s adorable isn’t it?
For some reason it makes me feel like crying.
