Those of you with senators should call them and tell them not to fall for the GOP’s offer to hold the football. Please do it for the 700k people in DC who can’t.

It’s not unusual to have people in our lives who were not literally family but they were at least ad present in the backgrounds of our lives as our actual families. My aunt’s neighbor came to our family parties and told the kids about how the church bells rang the day they were born.
The Zohran "aunt" thing is the funniest hatchetjob of all time. There was a prominent person in my childhood named Uncle Bonehead who was just a friend of my uncle. To this day I have no idea what his actual name was. This nomenclature is not unusual in my culture (recovered alcoholic Masshole).

Karen is sharp, thoughtful and conscientious. If you’re hiring, you should definitely check out her work.
I was recently laid off by ARTnews, a few days before the theft at the Louvre. The terms of my TN work visa means I can't freelance unless I donate the funds to charity. I'm open to new FT roles in business reporting and communications, and am willing to relocate to other cities, including Toronto.

I donated to his campaign. I was pissed off when it was revealed he worked as a merc, and debating what to do when the tattoo & queerphobic posts came out.
I contacted ActBlue, asked for it to be returned, got an acknowledgement of the return a few hours later; 2 days later it was in my account.
