Sober husband and father. Creative professional. Committed bicycle commuter. Introvert.

Let's be kind to one another.
Just to add some context to things, employment numbers in the federal government have been flat at around 3 million employees since the mid-60s. A few spikes and a few dips over the years but largely stable.

Reminder: At the start of his legal career, RFK Jr. failed the bar, was forced out as a D.A., and got arrested for heroin. Without the Kennedy name, that story ends there.

When I was a Hill staffer in 2009, a Dem trifecta was trying to pass universal healthcare. In response, Senate GOP released a memo detailing all of the tactics they in the minority could use to delay the effort as much as possible. I'm recirculating that 2009 GOP memo here. Take inspiration from it.

🧵 I live in Los Angeles. We have not had to evacuate and are safe, but like many people here, I have friends who have lost everything. I realize I can't combat the firehose (see what I did there?) of bullshit spewing about this disaster from internet and media sources, but I'll say this:

The report says the attack “was so systematic and coordinated that it transcended mere mob violence”

Focus on what the quiet ones are doing. It's some heinous shit.

THREAD: In 2023, I received an envelope with no return address. Inside was a flash drive containing tens of 1000s of secret files.

It came from a vigilante with a tumultuous past, who'd conducted a years-long undercover operation. He didn’t tell the FBI or his family. He only told me.

"Well, she was an American girl, raised on promises" is the greatest opening line to a song ever.

You'll never find another line in pop music that conveys an entire story and character in just nine words.
