The Yapper's Digest: August 8, 2024

“Violent crime was up under Trump. That’s not even counting the crimes he committed.” -Gov Tim Walz

A story that needs more eyes is… this good news out of Minnesota, and no I’m not talking about Tim Walz news. I’m talking about the state Supreme Court upholding law restoring the right to vote for people with felony convictions in the state. Good News Bears. -Maddie

Something that sparked joy this week was… the comeback of camo. I mean you guys already knew I was going to say that. I feel so seen. We’re bringing camo all the way back, mmkay? -Maddie

Something I can’t stop talking about is… Scout Walz who I think should be friends with Biggie… I mean c’mon look at that mush! -Maddie

Something I hope people share with their friends… this article on the CDC updating guidelines on IUD insertion pain… which like where have y’all been??? -Maddie

A story that needs more eyes is… they’re literally banning books in Utah, like these books. This isn’t some myth or “they might.” They are. -Sammy

Something that sparked joy this week was… this iconic reaction to Gov. Tim Walz being picked as Kamala’s running mate. THE JOY, THE HOPE, THE EXCITEMENT. We’re so back. -Sammy

Something I can’t stop talking about is… the Republicans continuing to come for Tim Walz but it backfiring like it did with Tampon Tim. Again, like thanks y’all? -Sammy

Something I hope people share with their friends… is our Good News Bears TikToks and their longer form version in the Gov Hub Newsletter! It’s important for people to know that good shit is still happening and what it actually is so that they can make informed choices. -Sammy
