Does this mean anything to you @kaine.senate.gov or @markwarner.bsky.social? Is there absolutely nothing that will get you to fight for our country? Are you limited to writing letters to the editor? @atrupar.com bsky.app/profile/atru...

There could not be a more blatant violation of the Hatch Act, which prohibits any executive branch employee from "Using his or her official title while participating in political activity." Unlikely to be prosecuted, however. Will any news org even mention this? www.law.cornell.edu/cfr/text/5/7...

How are you?

Nice story about JE in NY mag. You look great on the picture.

I know you are very busy flying all over the world. How was Palm Beach? I cannot wait to go down. Give me a call when you are back in NY.

Have a great time!
