Here’s all the shit we couldn’t cover today:
- Mark Zuckerberg got nice and charred during a Congressional hearing on Wednesday. Why did no one ask him about his baby bangs though??? Update, 6:21 p.m.: California Democrat Katie Porter did mention his baby bangs: “As the mother of a teenage boy,” she said, “I just want to say thanks for modeling the short cut.” [Politico/CNN/Vice/Mashable]
- Here’s just a taste:

DISCUSSION
The thing that’s extra frustrating about Republicans lies about the impeachment inquiry is that over 100 members of Congress are eligible to participate in these behind closed door sessions and both parties are able to question witnesses. But they way they tell it you’d think it was just Nancy Pelosi and Adam Schiff sacrificing Christian children in the basement of the Capitol.
It just shows how deeply terrified Trump and his allies are. Because when all you’ve got is temper tantrums about “the process” you’ve already lost.
Side note: There is WAY too much going on for politics to be relegated to occasional posts across the current GMG Universe. Please tell me there are plans to remedy this somehow soon.
