At the end of the day, this is the only country that could unravel because of a guy named Jeff.

I am on my way home to Toronto and the aurorae are absolutely phenomenal.

If you are anywhere in the northern half of the continent, get outside and look up! Or better still, put your camera on a 10 second exposure and point it up.

if you can’t see the aurora borealis tonight, here is a sewer tunnel which is a wonder in itself.

This is the stupidest person ever to be allowed into the Oval Office. “Nobody knows what a magnet is.”

Dictator chic.
Trump shows off all the gold he’s added to the Oval Office to look more like the Kremlin.

“This is not Home Depot stuff.”

I told my son today that what moved the government to vote on the shutdown was not the 42 million without SNAP.

It was planes.

Priorities even a teenager could understand were shameful.

Trump: "We have officially renamed the Dept of Defense back to the original name, Dept of War. And remember we won World War 1, we won World War 2, we won everything in between. We won everything that came before. And then we brilliantly decided to change the name. We became politically correct"

McAFEE: What does Veterans Day mean to you?

TRUMP: To me, it means taking care of the veterans. And you know, we have a 92% approval rating at the VA.

‘Nickname’ is not ‘nick’ + ‘name.’

It was originally ‘ekename.’

‘Eke’ was the Middle English word for “also” or “in addition.”

Since ‘ekename’ began with a vowel, people used ‘an’ before it.

Over time, 'an ekename' became 'a nickname.'

“Born under Ronald Reagan” is a violent attack on me personally. Goddamn.
A bunch of geriatric millennials made decisions about their futures over the past 24 hours so, inspired by a post from @lauren.rotatingsandwiches.com, I wrote about the fate of the few remaining ballplayers born under Ronald Reagan

To my new followers:

You're in for a rude awakening when you discover that 93% of my posts involve cats, scones, independent bookstores, autumn, the Scottish Highlands, Agatha Christie, and the Oxford comma.

It’s truly not too late to turn back. My advice is to save yourself whilst you can.

I've been suspecting for a month that Johnson stayed in recess not because he was afraid of Democrats, but because he was afraid of his own party.

There's rumblings about Epstein and MTG is spearheading this rebellion.

I want Johnson to have to confront that. And we have to open back up to do it.

Unlike you, I can read and that’s why I know what the constitution says.
Trump on Ilhan Omar: "I look at somebody who comes from Somalia...and she comes in and tells us how to run our country. 'The Constitution says this, the Constitution says that.' The whole thing is crazy."

"Scared of Charlotte" is a whole new level of "scared of cities" that I'd never even considered possible
Rep. Pat Harrigan: "I have asked Josh Stein, our governor, to consider working with President Trump to allow the National Guard to come into Charlotte ... use the National Guard as a force multiplier and they can a lot of load off the Charlotte PD."
