@Hertz I was on the phone with your team for over an hour today. I was told that my card somehow charged me on Hertz behalf and your system did not complete the reservation. I enjoyed being told it is my fault. It is recorded for 'training purposes'. Review and get back to me.

Looks like Robert McCurdy's Obama portrait is ready-made for Kehinde Wiley to come back and fill in the background.

Queen Elizabeth is officially 5'-4". A number of online sources say that Liz Truss is 5'-3". Is something wrong here?

When I was in school, I used to get picked on for my surname. My kids say that they have NEVER been picked on [until now], by weak adults on twitter. Thank you @MCPS for a community conducive to learning and @hanaolooney we are proud of you for representing students so well.

@kimmelman Yes, Like the GPO in Dublin or the President's house in Cuba. Although I think they don't need to retain all the damage to make the point - they can fix the windows, as that would just make it look like we don't care about democracy...

If you can confirm a Supreme Court Justice in 8 days, then you can impeach a President in 10.

I am as proud of Mayor Muriel Bowser today as I was when she revived a dead deal for a mixed-use supermarket in Petworth as Councilmember...Thank you for allowing some grassroots ownership of the media narrative. Now let's get more housing built for all DC residents! #36000by2025

Paul Goldberger said that “every author today is forced to be a self-promoter, like it or not” Well, w/o publicity, today Increments of Neighborhood is #1 on Amazon. So this tweet is a celebration of needing no promotion, and the start of flagrant self-promotion. Like it or not.

@emilymbadger unfortunately, nothing is worse than "Let me tell you...." - I am convinced that this lost Gore the 2000 election more than anything else.

To say I'm offended at American Airlines nerve to charge me more than the actual cost of a flight on the competition (or their own discounted flights!?!) to use my mileage doesn't begin to explain my anger. I plan on cancelling my AA CC account, and to begin using other airlines.

We often talk about Whole Foods being a great anchor....Well, the ground floor of the @tortigallas Barlett Building is now the centerpiece of Amazon's holdings in National Landing! #HQ2
