My thoughts today are with the security people and police officers who defended the Capitol on January 6 and have been treated with such distain since by the GOP. For them and the Democratic leadership who lived through such chaos and no doubt continue to carry the scars within. We will not forget.

A pajama protest - how perfect!
After Duffy’s ridiculous request for travelers to dress better, people are wearing more pajamas to the airport.
