I smell like “glitter, chocolate, and puns,” according to my 7-year-old.
It’s almost turkey time, and since unappetizing debates about what’s going on in Washington and beyond might be on the menu this year, I turned to some experts for tips on avoiding a political food fight at the Thanksgiving table! 🦃✌️ m.youtube.com/watch?v=HO6g...

Coming to you tonight from a very full Sixth & I in DC, the latest stop for Michelle Obama’s “The Look” book tour. Obama has said the aim of her new style book is to ignite a convo about “the way our society defines beauty.”

Enjoyed this conversation with the always insightful Ken Burns about his new @pbs.org documentary, “The American Revolution,” and how he says learning about our past could help “put the ‘us’ back in the U.S.”

In our @thehill latest story, Amie Parnes and I talk to White House staffers across different administrations and past state dinner guests who describe being “heartbroken” by the East Wing being obliterated…but also say they recognize how a ballroom “is needed.”

It’s a “running late because your 5-year-old decided he wanted to create an artistic masterpiece before school so you help bring his vision to life before grabbing a pair of heels as you dash out the door to work” kind of morning… 🤦‍♀️ #tworightfeet #workingmom

Raising a glass (filled with his fave, Coke Zero) to @howardkurtz.bsky.social. From pedaling without training wheels to punching up a lede, no one has taught me more.

Always enjoy some shoe-leather reporting for @newsnation.bsky.social...my footwear just couldn't be heels this time.

What you couldn't see during my live shots was that I was balancing on a box about 2ft off the ground with a strict mandate from my photog to "keep those shoes flat like a pancake!"
