I am absolutely devastated about Norm Macdonald. Norm had the most unique comedic voice I have ever encountered and he was so relentlessly and uncompromisingly funny. I will never laugh that hard again. I'm so sad for all of us today.

What should happen in the next 24 hours:
1. Clear the Capitol—as peacefully as possible, but in any case remove the mob from the seat of the legislative branch of our government.
2. Reconvene and finish counting the electoral votes.
3. Impeach in the House, convict in the Senate.

Expanding the nondelegation doctrine would make it easier for conservative legal groups to hinder progressive efforts to reform healthcare and tackle climate change by stripping agencies of their ability to act with discretion and perform normal functions. https://t.co/kqiEZHFnBa

Continued above-average temps have slowed progression of fall foliage across the state, but rain, brown leaf drop, and a future drop in temps should send much of the state’s northern tier into prime foliage viewing🍁🍂next week ➡ https://t.co/jG25JxNTq4 #PAFallFoliage #FallinPA

Very sad to hear Governing will be shutting down operations. I've been a subscriber for several years and will miss their excellent coverage of state and local government news and happenings. Our nation's 'laboratories of democracy' were well served for 32 years.
