OMG, Peter Jennings was the bomb. Him and Tim Russert would have been excellent follows. Great thread, Acey.

You just know he wants all those places to go back to "no women, no colored." The arrogance of that guy is unbelievable. What a waste of flesh.

Sometimes my wife and I like to send each other text messages as though they’re democratic fundraising messages, and I believe she has produced the jewel of the form.

, it's
and I
have some personal news to share with you.
Being a mom is one of the greatest joys of my life, and I feel deeply that we should have salad tonight
This year has been challenging in many ways, and I have immense gratitude for the kindness and support of family, community, and people like you who have continued to stand by me through everything. It means the world, and I wanted you to be among the first to know that squash is in the oven and kale is in the fridge.

As many of you are aware, ve been navigating one of the most challenging periods of my day while waiting for dinner.
Facing baseless federal hunger brought on by not eating since lunch, fighting for the working kids of this country, and now caring for a mean toddler and helping him grow up in a world that isn't always easy. But it has also reminded me exactly why I do this work and who I do it for.
I will never stop working to eat dinner. I will never stop fighting for what is right, even when there is also some feta in the fridge. And I will never stop being so very thankful that you are by my side in this important work and that there is tahini in the pantry for dressing
With love and gratitude,
stop to end

Oh, Cow, for my 20 years at State, I worked side-by-side with them in my overseas assignments. Weirdest bunch of thieving arseholes I ever met in my entire life. This is not a shocking story to me.

We're four weeks out from the election and ballots in CA are being mailed out. I thought I'd make a little thread of voter guides I've used, in case anyone is looking for info. Please feel free to respond with links to voter guides you like. 🧵

Ballotpedia.org is also a great resource. If you scroll to the very end of each proposition, it lists all the names of people and organizations who are for and against and how much they are spending to do so.

Use a boxed scone mix, Jean. Easy peasy. That said, breadcrumbs sound delicious, too.
