Congratulations to all the Democratic candidates who won tonight. It’s a reminder that when we come together around strong, forward-looking leaders who care about the issues that matter, we can win. We’ve still got plenty of work to do, but the future looks a little bit brighter.

If nothing else, the last nine months should have made it clear that elections matter. But what’s remarkable about America is that we have the power, as citizens, to change this country by voting. Go to IWillVote.com.

My wife cuts my hair on the back deck of our house. If you don’t mind a buzz cut, I’m sure she’d be happy to help you out. Be forewarned though, she doesn’t have magazines and she doesn’t know any jokes. I’ve learned to take the good with the bad.

In Donald Trump's mind, there is only him. He is everything. Everything is his. Everything is about him. Nothing else, no one else, matters.

In his own mind, he is the law. Everyone must follow him. He is the only one who gets to say what is right and what is wrong. ...

I’m a poll worker and I love to smile. In Missouri poll workers start at 5am and get done around 8pm. Smiles are what keep all of going!

Just want to urge anyone in the U.S. eligible to vote for anything at all this election cycle to please do so. Shock everyone with the turnout. Make jaded pundits cough coffee out their noses. Make poll volunteers smile. Make voter suppressors nervous again.

Game Day!!

From school board members to Governors, EVERY election matters. If you don’t #VOTE, you not only have to live with the consequences, so does your neighbor. There’s no excuse not to vote. Polls open early and stay open late. If you need a ride, ask. I guarantee someone will get you to the polls.

As he should!

I will be working the polls on Tuesday. There’s only one issue on the ballot where I’m at, but other areas of the country have a number of issues and candidates to vote on. Every election is important regardless of what or who is on the ballot. Change only happens when you VOTE!

I’ve said it before, no social media after dinner.

It’s for our betterment as a society that we read a book, listen to music, play with our kids and dogs, look up at the stars, write our feelings down in a diary, pick out our fits for tomorrow and pretend we live in The Time Before The Internet.

Hello. It is past 5pm eastern time.

It is the time of The Horrors. It is not recommended to be on Bluesky at this time.

Why, you ask? Well, you might find that posts are filled with doom, they are sad, hopeful, terrified and fearful.

This is people Processing The Horrors.

As long as the CEOs can collect their obscene golden parachutes…then all is right in their world. There was a time the customer’s voice mattered. No longer.

It’s going to get worse as more and more businesses no longer invest in training their front line staff or in reinforcing that training. Hence, more and more consumers are turning to on-line shopping.

It’s so easy to feel powerless right now. I get it. We may indeed not have the power to do some things. But we can donate to a food bank. Volunteer. Foster an animal. Seek to find opportunities to give genuine compliments. Get sleep so we can think more clearly. Create art. This too is fighting.

From the @newyorker.com "Daily" today.

The White House doesn't belong to him. He holds it in trust both for future occupants and for the American people.

Source: www.newyorker.com/newsletter/t...

Screenshot, reading: How normal is this sort of White House renovation?

“The White House wants you to believe this is totally normal, citing all the renovations, big and small, made by past Presidents. They are right that changes were made. But they are dead wrong about how this is being done. With the exception of F.D.R. secretly building a bunker under the East Wing during the Second World War, past renovations of this size were debated, funded by Congress, and done only after the need was manifest. None were rushed and done at the whim of a President.”

— George E. Condon, Jr., the White House correspondent for National Journal and a past president of the White House Correspondents’ Association
