Happy New Year, Maryland!
After such a challenging year for our state, I pray this new year brings blessings, health, and joy for you and your families.
I will keep fighting for you to not just get by but to truly thrive.

I'm deeply sorry to the people of Venezuela. There is no opposition party in the United States to counter the fascist regime's actions and the population is easily demagogued.

You should be embarrassed to be a member of congress and issuing anything other than impeachment resolutions. You're in the model UN. They should give you legos and a propeller hat

You don't have to listen to these professional liars who are barely trying. 9 months ago they were saying they were powerless to return a man they illegally sent to an El Salvador gulag because it would violate that country's national sovereignty
Vance pushes back and says this was not illegal, arguing "Maduro has multiple indictments in the United States for narcoterrorism. You don't get to avoid justice for drug trafficking in the United States because you live in a palace in Caracas."

My favorite moment of 2025 was when I was getting a haircut on NYE — I asked my stylist where she got her nails done and, while she was trying to remember the name of the place, she was like, “Nail Cunt? No, that’s not it…”

Love it when basketball commentators start getting baseball-specific with their stats as if they’ve suddenly got all the time in the world to wax poetic on a fast-paced game. Every sport is so romantic.

Anyway the single best check on your espoused prescriptions for social change is whether you yourself are doing what you say others need to do. It's extremely clarifying and usually very humbling.
