This #RuddyDuck is a rare visitor for City Wildlife! 🦆❤️

A kind passerby noticed her out of the water (unusual for this species) & looking weak. Thanks to a prompt response by DC Animal Care & Control, she quickly arrived to our clinic for examination. 🚑

@Angry_Staffer So bizarre.

Trump set the TikTok ban in motion

Congress passed legislation

Biden signs legislation

SCOTUS upholds ban

Biden says his administration wouldn’t enforce the law, leaving room for TikTok to stay open

TikTok shuts down anyway

Trump tweets

TikTok pretends Trump saved it 🙄

Serving as Secretary of Defense has been the highest honor of my life.

I am deeply proud of what we have achieved, together.

President Biden has devoted his life to his country. Through extraordinary times, he has led with strength and with decency.

I wish him and his family nothing but the best. Thank you, Joe.

@DemocraticWins @TeaPainUSA While I’m sorry for the DC tourism income, I’m not at all surprised by the apathy. If they aren’t angry or hating on something, they don’t give a shit. So, they won. It’s a big yawn for people who are addicted to anger and hatred. (That addiction brought to us by @FOXNews).

BREAKING: In a stunningly embarrassing moment, DC hotels are only 70% booked this weekend for inauguration. Historically, hotels have been well over 90% booked on inauguration weekend.
