@vapidgranola Awful needless possibly lethal blow to a national treasure.

thinking of my friends and former colleagues at the Washington Post who no longer have jobs because of the man sent to save the paper--Jeff Bezos.

@CaraJoyDavid Hope it went well!

@annspeaks My aunt had surgery—and it was delayed and delayed. Meanwhile I’m like: “I need to finish my story about the Lillys town hall! Please just start this surgery so I can leave!”

Hospitals always suck but when you begin your day there at 5:40am, they suck more than they would if you strolled in at noon.

Watching the Tonys and all I can ask is: how do we fight this from becoming impossibly inaccessible?

@arenella1 People are so worried about who is crossing the border that they let criminals walk right into the government and take it

@CaraJoyDavid I just went to Grant’s Tomb and was reminded of the old joke, “who is buried in Grant’s Tomb?” Or maybe it wasn’t a joke…?

“What is Chess about?” is a question I will forever love.

@RinainDC Boomer here. I have never counted on getting SS. Glad it helped my mom, though!

The life of an American millennial: Paying loads in taxes now while being unsure I can collect Social Security later. Wild.

@CaraJoyDavid And they aren’t the only ones who are relieved you are safe

There was a guy weilding a knife on my subway platform tonight. My thought, after I fully understood the situation, was: “If I get injured tonight, some press agents will necessarily have a bad day tomorrow, regardless of the nominations.”

"The White House has been hearing out a chorus of ideas in recent weeks for persuading Americans to get married and have more children". Everything except for paid medical/parental leave, affordable childcare, and affordable health care for parents AND children. Great job, dudes.

@CaraJoyDavid @RadissonHotels That is surprising!! What a world!

@annspeaks @RadissonHotels I’m home now. But also I learned that Radisson doesn’t run Radisson Hotels in the US. Who knew??

I just want to show everyone — my “suite” at the @RadissonHotels in upstate NY not only didn’t have any of the hallmarks of a suite, but instead of a closet it had this rack, which could be made higher, but could never fully adjust to adult height. It was something.

@CaraJoyDavid @RadissonHotels I see they finally did… the saga continues?

@annspeaks @RadissonHotels No—it is pretty hilarious, right? They acted like I was strange for complaining.

@CaraJoyDavid Interested in what you thought. Reviews soon I hope!

My mother’s two most anticipated shows were Good Night and Good Luck and Smash. (She was very excited about Boop too.) She kept talking about them. Tonight we saw the second! Now I’m retiring? Eh. I guess not.

@RinainDC And what about those olde fashioned Civic Classes? Those should never have been axed!

Morning in America today is really just a huge 🚩 about how we need to teach financial literacy in this country again.

BREAKING: Senator Jeanne Shaheen has introduced a Constitutional amendment to overturn the Supreme Court's 2010 Citizens United ruling.

@Wellesley All of this to turn around and increase tuition by over 4%, charging 92k/year for what? To be thrown to the wolves by the administration? Do the benefits of attending @Wellesley outweigh any potential harm?

@andersleehere Of course they did!

Renaming it the "Mario Cuomo Bridge" is such a perfect example of the way the Prince of Darkness operates. Arrogant, aggressive and undemocratic. My mom is from a Hudson River town and her graduating class (many of them moderates) signed a petition to change it back to Tapanzee.

I’ve never been so embarrassed for our country.

@LisaDNews Vance is a complete piece of shit. Trying to bully Zelensky in Zelensky’s THIRD LANGUAGE.
