@RepLizCheney Thank you for all you have done for our country and for democracy. You are a true patriot. Wishing you and your family a Happy and Healthy New Year.
@GraceSlick_JA Merry Christmas and a Happy and Healthy New Year, Grace! Have loved the J Airplane/Starship music since the Fall of 1966. Still listen to many of the songs. Your and Marty’s singing and Jorma’s guitar — sublime. Thank you.
@JeffersonAirp Started college in September 1966. My roommate was from San Francisco. He brought the Jefferson Airplane album with him. I heard it for the first time. Loved it. Still do.
I have often felt and said that it would be wonderful if Edgar and I could have a real conversation in a language we both speak and understand for a half-hour a day.
My dog hit me in the eye while we were playing this morning. After the pain subsided I found Simon hiding on the couch in a ball, ears down, tail between his legs. He was afraid to let me pet him. It’s a stark reminder I have no idea what his life was like before I adopted him.
@AdamSchiff Midnight in Washington is superb. It is extremely well-written. I would very much like to know how you went about writing it, how many hours you devoted to the writing, what your process was for editing drafts etc. I hope you write a follow-up.
@GraceSlick_JA I am grateful for the music of the Jefferson Airplane and Jefferson Starship. Began listening in 1966 when a freshman in college. Still listening. Thank you, Grace Slick.
@svershbow Dogs understand a lot more than many of their humans think. Don’t be fooled by the look he gives you. He may have understood but was not happy that you left.
@CornellMHockey They were tri-captains. In the national championship game in Lake Placid, which Cornell won 6-4, Lodboa scored a hat trick in the 3d period. In the ECAC championship game in Boston, Hughes scored with seconds left in the third period, breaking a 2-2 tie.
Shortly after #GeorgeFloyd’s death, then-AG Barr nixed a plea to murder 3 that would have sent Chauvin to prison for 10 years. Chauvin wanted to serve the time in fed’l prison & not face additional fed’l charges, so Barr’s sign off was needed. https://t.co/aKRJHHpvPv

@JoyceWhiteVance According to President Trump:
Executive Branch, Congress, and Judiciary. Congress and Judiciary are wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Executive Branch, which is the Parent company. The President is the Chairman of the Board, CEO and owner of the Parent.
And didn’t McConnell and Graham justify their refusal on the ground that the nomination of Garland was in an election year and the President to be elected, not the one in then office, should be the one to nominate a candidate for the SCOTUS seat?
You say that Republicans have done nothing to change the rules. You forget or ignore that Pres. Obama nominated Merrick Garland to fill the J. Scalia vacancy on the SCOTUS. But Republican Sen’s McConnell and Graham refused to hold a hearing to consider the nominee.
The rules for the voters of the Supreme Court game,, have been pretty clear for 150 years:
*9 seats, life tenure
*Win presidential elections, you get to make nominations
*Win Senate elections, you get to confirm or stop them
*Divided government, you fight, maybe you compromise
