This is what it looks like when you do all the work and still get kicked out of the meeting. Outrageous, indeed.
Came out to greet all of us and grace the red carpet before the Custodian nabbed him in. Outrageous

A final shout out to the amazing @WhiteHouse staff, who always go the extra miles to make us comfortable and cared for. When it comes to moving me, you know you guys are the champs.* Thank you all.😻. [Jackson Browne, The Load Out].
As any Federal Govt employee could tell you: "Other duties as assigned.". Thx for the lift!😺

Farewell and RIP, President Carter. Oh what a citizen he was. From his farewell address in 1981:. In a few days I will lay down my official responsibilities in this office, to take up once more the only title in our democracy superior to that of President, the title of citizen.

A special #TBT to 3 years ago today when @DrBiden met precious #Willow for the first time, during a stump speech on a farm in western PA, on the eve of the 2020 Election. A few months later @FLOTUS & @POTUS adopted her. 📹watch our first encounter w/ Willow on 11/3/20 #fcotus🐈

Just because I will never have kittens and have thrown myself into my job doesn't mean I'm any less of a cat. You do you, John, but please leave us females alone.

I am literally a childless cat lady and I find what he said highly offensive. "Miserable in my own life?" Quite the opposite, in fact.
Many child-free cat ladies lead lives that are rich, rewarding, and rather interesting. Or so I've been told.

Happy #caturday @CatmanderBiden. In Ottawa (Canada's capital) there used to be a cat colony on Parliament Hill. The cats were basically your Canadian counterparts. There is one cat from the colony who's still alive named Coal who extends you a friendly greeting.

You wanted your dog to hunt birds, but she just wanted to play. Cricket saw you were mad. So when she saw those chickens she did what you’d wanted her to do. And then she bit you because now you didn’t want her to hunt birds and her dog brain got confused. So you executed her.
I can understand why some people are upset about a 20 year old story of Cricket, one of the working dogs at our ranch, in my upcoming book — No Going Back. The book is filled with many honest stories of my life, good and bad days, challenges, painful decisions, and lessons.

It's like I always advise staff: They have to prove every number and give me the "why." Otherwise they get The Look. #CatsDigEfficiency
Vice President Harris apparently committed a grave sin for these staffers: having high standards of excellence for them whilst being a woman of color in leadership. Cause there ain’t no way on God’s green earth this critique would be levied against a white male in leadership.
