I just had to explain to my Republican colleague from Georgia that Robert E. Lee was not a founding father. It’s been a very long day on the House floor.

I've sat on this photo from #dc for a little bit. I really like it, and I think it speaks to how cool the things we walk by every day can be. Also it's a keepsake for the ridiculous #nimby fight over #mcmillan.
