Someone I considered a close personal friend casually referred to Margo Martindale as a “poor man’s Kathy Bates” tonight at dinner. A scene ensued.
Not everyone is worthy of forgiveness.
Did y’all see how quick Dr. Biden was to jump in between her husband and those protestors!?! Before it was understood what their intentions were? Tough as nails. She’s a gem.
I’m thinking about Judge Amy Berman Jackson, who today, is carrying the weight of standing up to creeping authoritarianism in the United States on her shoulders.
Really proud of my guy,
@TimRyan
.
Clearly the better candidate doesn’t always win, but he ran a campaign that others should (and did) take note of.
His future is bright.
Every single week brings some new fresh flavor of hell. It's like they're actively brainstorm ways to agitate.
"a cascade of shutdown threats" sure! Why not.
JOHNSON says he’s considering a “laddered CR,” which would extend individual agencies budgets for different periods of time.
This would effectively create a cascade of shutdown threats
Thrilled to welcome

. His expertise will be invaluable as we continue delivering for the hardworking people we’re privileged to serve.
I’m excited beyond measure to be ~officially~ back on Team Trahan.
Feeling very fortunate that I get to work alongside such a great boss and crew of service-oriented, talented, and fun colleagues on important issues facing

This has always been where
@TimRyan
is at his best: fired up, fighting for workers - rain or shine (literally).
It’s going to be a helluva race. I can’t wait.

To me - 15 minutes ago - he came across as a well-meaning, elder-statesman with a poor ability to sit back and let DJT run roughshod over American Democracy and everything that’s been accomplished over the last three years.

Senator Chris Murphy just walked by my car where I was very passionately singing Fergie’s “Big Girls Don’t Cry” and I’ll never know for sure but I think he knew.
Today’s vote in the House of Representatives confirms it: Two women will be seated behind President Joe Biden for his first State of the Union address.
Politics aside, that’s really great.
I grossly mispronounced the name of a town in Massachusetts (Scituate) in front of
@RepLoriTrahan
and it became immediately apparent that I will never, ever live it down.
Five of Jeff Van Drew’s staff members announced their resignation Sunday after the congressman privately indicated he would switch parties, saying they are “deeply saddened and disappointed” by the decision
Briefly signing up for nextdoor was the worst mistake of my life. It’s insane, and I can’t unsubscribe. I have hit unsubscribe 1,000,000 times and marked it as spam every which way and somehow, it is still getting into my inbox 5 times a day. Help. Make it stop. Plz.
Did my eyebrows raise at Senate Republicans adopting a Warren amendment that seemingly contradicts Trump's public position on this issue? Yes.
Did they also raise at the banner picture, showing Massachusetts' Senior Senator wearing black (she never does that...)? Also yes.
The Republican-led Senate Armed Services Committee adopted an amendment that would require the Pentagon to rename military assets named for Confederate generals. The White House threatened to veto the measure.
I tested positive for a breakthrough case of Covid-19. Symptoms are relatively mild-ish, but it’s not great!
Still, I’m exceedingly grateful for the peace of mind that comes with being vaccinated and boosted.
Get vaccinated & get boosted if and when you can.
I fully support H.R. 6201: Families First CoronaVirus Response Act, which will be voted on in the House this evening. This Bill will follow my direction for free CoronaVirus tests, and paid sick leave for our impacted American workers. I have directed....
Last Thursday, after being admitted to the ICU in January, my mom received a new heart. Just a bit ago, she texted us this photo of herself up and moving. A reason to celebrate if I’ve ever seen one.
A few sets of Ab rollers are a good way to start a workout. All the candidates should be "rolling" out specific plans to solve our nations challenges - check out my 30 minute documentary at for my plans and experiences.

The FBI is still looking for the person who planted pipe bombs ahead of Jan. 6 Capitol riot. The FBI is offering a $500,000 reward for information that leads to the arrest of the person responsible.
Just out for a stroll in the desolate hellscape of Washington, DC where the oppressed citizenry is forced to workout in hotel rooms and there’s not an open commercial establishment to be found (pay no mind to my Compass Coffee!!)
My opinion about the virtual DNC is that your snarky comment isn’t as clever as you think it is, obviously we wish we were in Milwaukee, and also I love Leon Bridges.
Virginia Foxx on House floor: "Madam Speaker, I ask for the gentleman's words to be taken down! I am not a hypocrite."
Max Rose: "With all due respect, ma'am, you are."
Foxx: "Madam Speaker!"
Hard though it is to believe, today was my last day on Capitol Hill.
Working for Congress was a dream of mine for ages, and the last 5 years have been tremendously meaningful.
