I just finished listening to this, and I just wanted to say thanks to @RealMickFoley for putting a huge smile on my face and for really getting me into the holiday spirit.🙂🎅🏻

I don’t usually call people out like this, but I work in customer service and you DO NOT act like that with customers. It’d be an instant write-up in my workplace. So yeah…won’t be going back there.
Hey @dunkindonuts, just had an awful experience at your store on N Kings Hwy in Alexandria, VA. My mobile order was wrong & Lou was super rude when I mentioned it. He even yelled at me a bit. I’ve been going to this store since it opened but won’t be anymore.
So I went to the counter to talk to that person, and she said I needed to talk to Lou…I said I tried. She said she wanted to talk to him & he said, “The sandwich right? I’m making it right now!” I said yes, but I got the wrong thing. “So throw it out! It was a wrong order!”
The Superintendent here pictured with Zach on his final day at #FortVancouver! Everyone at the park enjoyed working with Zach and he brought a lot of good ideas with him from the National Mall. Safe travels back to our nation’s capital! @NationalMallNPS
#FortVancouver has been so fortunate to have Ranger Zach here serving on a 120 day detail as Chief of Interpretation. Zach, who works at the Washington Monument in DC, worked closely with the Superintendent and did a fantastic job! TY Zach! @NationalMallNPS#VanWa#FindYourPark
A voice like mine has never been a Cabinet secretary or at the head of the Department of Interior.
Growing up in my mother’s Pueblo household made me fierce. I’ll be fierce for all of us, our planet, and all of our protected land.
I am honored and ready to serve.
If confirmed, Rep. Deb Haaland would be the first Native American Cabinet secretary.
She’d lead the agency responsible for not only managing public lands, but honoring treaties with the Indigenous people those lands were taken from.

@TheKateMulgrew@trekonomics One thing I learned watching Janeway growing up is how leadership means being responsible for working through dilemmas w/ no clear answers. All the easy decisions are made before it gets to the top. Janeway leads w/ focus on her mission - to get her crew home. Thank you Kate! 🖖🏽
Never forget how outrageous this is:
Senate GOP blocked Merrick Garland 237 DAYS before election & said American people should choose next justice
Now they’re confirming Amy Coney Barrett 8 DAYS before Nov 3 when 60 MILLION already voted
This is a dark day. But it's important to remember why Republicans fought so hard to steal this Supreme Court seat.
They've realized a truth that shakes them to their core: The American people are not on their side.
And we'll keep fighting until we take our democracy back.
Rangers Lauren and Arthur salute the procession carrying the casket of Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg and it passes by @belmontpaulnps. Justice Ginsburg, friend and supporter of the @NatlWomansParty, is the first woman to lie in state at the US Capitol. NPS/R Mendoza
