Seeing a lot of DC people mock TMZ for this… but I’m sure most Americans aren’t familiar with the congressional calendar and glad to see an outlet with an apolitical audience highlighting it.

Born into slavery in Maryland in 1818, Frederick Douglass never knew his birthday. Remembering his mother once called him "Little Valentine," he later chose to celebrate his birth on Valentine's Day. February was chosen as Black History Month in part to honor Douglass & Lincoln.
The Washington Post has the best sports section in the country, and I don’t think it’s particularly close. Only a soulless corporate goon would think the paper is better without it. A short-sighted, cowardly decision. Shame is your legacy.
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.
