Show Notes

The fellas break down James Talarico's "authentic Texan" act unraveling after his campaign ad featured a rental truck, sleuths dig up his Fauci action figure Christmas tweet, and watch Chuck Schumer get shouted down at his own anti-corruption event.

Plus: Wisconsin's DSA gubernatorial front-runner Francesca Hong denies tweeting "abolish the Senate" (she tweeted it), Nancy Mace's new House legislation, a chainsaw-wielding centaur robot, a Big PNAS study on macaques, and an innovative new way to fish.
