Sometimes a project just takes hold of you. I'm super proud to have my first published photo essay and words essay here in @denverpost. It's a labor of deep love, devotion, and admiration.

To everyone’s surprise, 98-year-old Merrily recovered from COVID. Then she decided it was time to go. https://t.co/tIdlg0A1qf

With every passing moment, we’re changing one another’s memories of the pandemic. Here’s how. https://t.co/fJZC01HDA4

[Ezra Klein @ezraklein]

This is such an important thread. Even if we were being purely selfish, the US has a profound interest in helping poorer countries stamp out the virus fast.

@Bibliogato Thank you so much Katherine! I'm terrible at Twitter, so just saw this. Sending so much love your way...

Absolute mic drop. I’d love to hear someone answer this question.

Trump could be barred from holding office again under Section 3 of 14th Amendment, which bars anyone from office who has been found to have “engaged in insurrection or rebellion against” the Constitution. That finding could be made by a simple majority vote of both houses. Done.

One of the best humans I know had some thoughts on watching U.S. Capitol Police Officer Eugene Goodman face down that mob of Trump-loving insurrectionists that was steps away from the floor of the Senate. Sharing here, with his permission.

No matter what happens tonight, I just want Mitch McConnell to know that I hate him. ❤️

@HaleyClinton4 @Oreo @Doritos @milanocookies @PepperidgeFarm also doesn't source their palm oil responsibly, so they've got quite some work to do to be sustainable.

[Nate Silver @NateSilver538]

I don't know, but it sure seems to me like not calling the race when the outcome is obvious in states like PA and NV gives the president more time to spout misinformation.

[Ben Wikler @benwikler]

There's a lot of totally correct talk about how @StaceyAbrams was pivotal to winning Georgia. Folks: Stacey & her team were pivotal to flipping Wisconsin too. And every other battleground. They worked with us to build massive, supercharged voter protection teams—starting *early.*

[Bradley Whitford @bradleywhitford]

I like asking conservative women who call themselves “originalists” if they’ve ever voted.
