Hey, I know the mid 2000s are slowly leaking back into the cycle of fashion trends, but that didn't mean we had to bring back a matching recession. 🫠

There is a letter from the kids' principal circulating that absolutely broke me. These are kids from my home state, these are people doing EVERYTHING right.
This administration is evil.
Bring them all back, you cowards.

Annnnnnd that concludes my subscription to the Post. Bye.
Agreed. The WaPo editorial page has been terrible for years now, but it's totally worthless now that Bezos has taken over in dictatorial fashion. Disgraceful.

Not male, but definitely a fixer. This was a nice reminder.
The advice helped him when his wife was sick with breast cancer. And now 20 years later, he still finds it's still invaluable while supporting her through dementia.
For one husband, caregiving came easier when he learned to 'shut up and listen'

If you have never seen Cabaret, take the time to see one of the film adaptations. It is a critical work for these times.

Working on a story about how federal layoffs have affected Alexandrians. If anyone knows folks from Alexandria who have been laid off and are willing to talk on the record about it, I'd be happy to help tell their story.

Make no mistake -- I love my country, that's why I'm so angry.
From today’s #50501 rally in Washington, DC. The patriotism and earnestness were off the charts. And that’s not a bad thing.
As a liberal who learned how to do much of her activism from anarchists though, let’s just say this wasn’t my usual milieu and I struggled a bit. (and that’s OK too)

You know, a transatlantic voyage to get to my UK honeymoon next year is sounding more and more reasonable.
I told people that I won’t be flying for four years and I mean it. Jesus.
I get that Trump & Elon are slashing federal jobs, but how are they deciding who gets laid off?
The Trump administration is firing hundreds of FAA probationary employees—the ones who maintain critical air traffic control infrastructure. An area already stretched thin.
What could possibly go wrong?

Received a letter from POTUS today purporting to remove me as Commissioner and Chair of the FEC. There's a legal way to replace FEC commissioners-this isn't it. I've been so fortunate to serve the American people and stir up some good trouble along the way. That's not changing anytime soon.
