SCOOP: Some advisers close to Biden are frustrated over a Glamour magazine interview in which incoming White House deputy chief of staff Jen O'Malley Dillon referred to Republicans on Capitol Hill as "f*ckers."

When I worked retail and wore empire waist dresses, I got asked a lot about how far along I was.
"I'm...I can't have kids," I'd reply quietly, and look away.
The rest of the transaction would be in silence.
I can have kids but that's not the fucking point. Good on you.
Pretty sure
@JoeBiden
doesn't want his ears checked before the debate tonight because the debate coordinators will find like $7.25 in quarters back there, and it'll ruin the surprise for his grandkids.

Right! Like, who among us has not looked at a photo of ourselves younger and thought "Wow, why was I so hard on myself? I looked great!"
Republican really just booed the American Rescue Plan that helped boost the economy and lift folks out of poverty - even in the states where lawmakers voted against it.

Please stop using "DC" as shorthand for "Congress."
Washington DC is a largely Democratic-leaning city of thousands of working people. 92% of them voted for President Biden & Vice President Harris.
They have no representation and constantly get dragged by the rest of the US.
Tropical Storm Gaston moved away from the Azores in the North Atlantic on Saturday and was expected to weaken over the next few days, forecasters said.
I don't mean to point out the obvious here, but: These incredible numbers we're seeing in voter turnout are because early voting and absentee voting were available.
Expanding access to the ballot box makes for a more representative government. That's a good thing.

You were working as a waitress at a cocktail bar when I met you. I picked you out, I shook you up, I turned you around, made you into someone new.

There was a meme a while back where
@ewarren
was comparing herself to Game of Thrones characters and she went with Dany. With this, I think the answer is clear.
She's Lyanna Mormont.
Warren in call with staff: "We have been willing to fight, and, when necessary, we left plenty of blood and teeth on the floor. And I can think of one billionaire who has been denied the chance to buy this election."

It’s because women can finally mouth “THIS idiot” behind the masks with impunity when out in the wild. We can finally express our true selves.
NEW: The majority of the people arrested for Capitol riot had a history of financial trouble
-$37,000 lien for unpaid federal taxes
-1 in 5 arrested had faced eviction or foreclosure

Okay, this shirt is amazing. I love it. Apparently, the creator is a single mom trying to make ends meet and is donating half the profits to Elizabeth Warren's campaign. I'm down. All shirt sizes/types, with and w/o profanity bleeped available here:
Hey
@MayorBowser
- DC's curfew is 7 p.m. tomorrow, but the polls for the DC primary tomorrow close at 8 p.m.
What are the DC government & DC police doing to assure voters they won't be subject to arrest, harassment, or potential violence if they vote late?
Everyone should read this. Everyone. If we’re going to pay to send young people to war, we should pay to provide them quality, taxpayer funded health care when they get back.

Let’s just take a second to appreciate how cool and big of a deal it is to see two Black women standing behind the President of the United States - one serving as Vice President and the other nominated to the highest court in the land.

The very least that President Trump could've done was mouthed "watermelon" a few times if he didn't know the National Anthem. Any drag queen or lip syncher could've taught him that.
#NationalChampionship
The GOP controls the White House, the Senate, and the House. And yet they couldn’t get it together by midnight and produce a good enough bill that even THEIR WHOLE OWN PARTY could vote for. It’s on them.

The woman is going to hold on until we elect a Democrat, and then she’s going to dissolve into thin air inside her robe like Luke Skywalker. We have to hold up our end of the bargain here.
I don't understand how can anyone look at the resilience and selflessness of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg and not have as their top political priority defeating Trump. We can't have lasting progressive policies without the Supreme Court. On anything.
How is this complicated?
I appreciate that
@JoeBiden
's speech is not the soaring rhetoric we've come to expect lately. This is very much the "Football coach at halftime giving a pep talk to the team that needs to get its shit together" speech. It's refreshing and much needed.

Even if we set feedings aside, parenting is work. And I feel like implying fatherhood isn't important work is doing everyone a disservice, you know?

I was towards the front of the crowd. Someone yelled “I have a gun” during the moment of silence for Uvalde. We started running. Kudos to the

Hi! Delawarean here.
Delaware State & University of Delaware are two different schools. And if Trump had anyone worth a half pack of Saltine crackers working for him, they'd tell him.
