Stefani Germanotta will *always* be famous. Lady Gaga’s Mayhem Ball at Madison Square Garden was one of the best concerts I’ve ever experienced.

Cabaret at the Kit Kat Club was amazing! A bravura performance by a practically flawless cast. And Orville Peck as the emcee? Just. Wow. If you’re familiar with the story, you can imagine how sobering it was to watch at this moment in time. A stunned silence in August Wilson Theatre more than once.

Finally got around to reading Defectors by @paoramos.bsky.social. It is intrepidly reported and very well written. It is an urgent and timely read, and as a multiracial (Latino/Indigenous/white) individual, it was illuminating for me and how I view myself, as well. Highly recommend.

Yeah, I’m always going to call it the Gulf of Mexico. This is ridiculous.

USAID’s X account is down. Yet NTSB is only going to provide updates there. Not suspicious in the least, amiright?

Good morning from Donostia-San Sebastián, Spain. Excited to convene with colleagues from the University of Deusto as they launch their new master’s in Democracy, Public Institutions, and Political Innovation.

Probably not finishing all of these by the end of the year, but a guy can dream. #Booksky

Grateful to host US Election Assistance Commission Chairman Ben Hovland today as he screened the short documentary “The Officials” and led a discussion on elections administration and oversight. Informative and timely. Thank you, Commissioner Hovland! #policyterps #iplatumd #publicleadership
