If you know what “packing a can of chew” means...it was so common in my small rural school that it became a physical *meme* (I guess maybe they used to say “contagious habit”?). Kids who had nothing in their hands would walk around slapping their fingers. It was a time.

instead of saying this was good strategy, maybe senate dems should say: "the republicans were going to kill people by starving them to death, and because we aren't monsters, we decided to let this fight go. We'll keep fighting. Stop electing monsters."

Say you realize a page has turned, the opposition party needs new leadership *now*, and encourage Sen. Schumer to leave with you.
It’s not a hard thing; easier than running out your term. And you can still light a fire rather than just watching yours dwindle to zero.

The machine at @durbin.senate.gov ‘s office isn’t taking messages. I hope the reporting isn’t true and you’re standing with the people, rather than lining up to give your vote in support of empty promises & authoritarianism, Senator.

I explained the concept of “a band” to my music loving child, and they said they want to be in a band. When I asked what they would call their band, they IMMEDIATELY said, “Rainbows for Grandma,” so I guess they’ve found their calling??

Big day at U.S. District Court in D.C. where Sean Dunn, the D.C. Sandwich Guy, is on trial for misdemeanor assault of a federal officer.
Border Patrol agent Gregory Lairmore is on the stand narrating surveillance video of the sammie toss.
'Now he’s struck me with the sandwich,' Lairmore says.
