HUNTINGTON BEACH, CA—The Braxton family has 27 mobile devices, ranging from tablets and smartphones to handheld gaming consoles and e-readers. All of them conveniently have the same charger port, which is nice, since despite each of the devices coming with its own charger, they still only have one.
Their count of chargers has remained the same no matter how many new devices packaged with a charger they buy. The family passes the charger around from room to room, getting involved in a daily passive-aggressive cold war over who gets to charge their smartphone or tablet. One family member will plug in their phone only to find that minutes later a crafty sibling has snuck into their room and absconded with the charger, hiding it in a secure location no one will ever find.
"Has anybody seen the charger!?" Mr. Gary Braxton yelled last night, frustrated as someone had moved it from his side of the bed again. "I specifically moved it right here and told nobody to touch it! AGGGGGGGGGH!!!"
His wife hid silently in the guest room next door, hoping he would not discover her as she was charging her phone.
Mr. Braxton finally caved and purchased a 24-pack of chargers on Amazon, but they all had disappeared at publishing time.

"They're here among us," alien specialist Donny Marcus told the press. "I've been studying these beings for years — they're smart, and they're resourceful. It took no time at all for them to defraud Tim Walz's government of billions through Medicare and Medicaid fraud. The government didn't even ask why they needed the money; they just forked it over. The invasion people have been anticipating has been happening right under our noses all along."
"The Democratic Party would be winning in a landslide if it weren't for that confounded Constitution," said House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries. "We have so many great ideas on how to win, but people keep saying things like 'Hey, that's illegal' or 'That's literally a crime.' It's becoming disheartening."
"This is way easier," said Democratic Governor Abigail Spanberger. "We're tackling the real issue, which is Republicans being allowed to vote at all. There will be no more campaigning, no more counting ballots. That stuff is such a hassle anyway."
