“Good afternoon, I’m Dana Bash, and welcome to Inside Politics,” announced the ever-dependable Chloe Fineman at the promising top of Saturday Night Live’s clearly politically inclined cold open tonight. “Later, we’ll give Wolf Blitzer an edible and an hour to solve the Middle East”

Exhibit A: the punchline on Nwodin’s Biden morning schedule gag. “And that’s all before lunchtime where he eats five full chickens and a raw potato.”
“Dana, I was just with him, and behind closed doors, he’s a dynamo,” exclaimed Marcello Hernández as DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas. ‘This weekend, we both went down to the border town of Brownsville, Texas and Joe went into Beast mode …then he parkoured up to the top of border wall., he front flipped into the Rio Grande, and came back with a fish in his mouth” – as you can see a bit below:
