Second year that we can turn up in our homes as the rainy weather has carried the EDM sounds of Project Glow Fest over to us.

[Matt Rice @matt____rice]

Barney Frank was an historic figure in a lot of ways, but I will primarily remember him for this very funny string of insults he lobbed at one of his own constituents

[Nate Silver @NateSilver538]

These are the Twitter/X accounts with the most engagement so far in 2026. I suppose I had some intuition for how bad it was, but jeez, this is what you get when the ecosystem is broken.

[DC Revenue Analysis @ORAdcgov]

Nearly 47% of separations in DC from federal employment in 2025 reported having a Master’s degree or higher. These losses accounted for nearly $2.4 billion, or 53%, of the total federal annual pay lost in 2025 from separations. Read more in our latest: https://t.co/U3XVAJDPhF

@dmtrubman My big idea: car horns should sound as loud inside the car as outside. In a real emergency it won’t matter, but it would discourage casual honking if the driver also had to blast himself with the noise.

@jackkramer @tboypod Are you wearing it right now?

[Andy Kim @AndyKimNJ]

I agree. Rep Chuy Garcia’s decision to end his re-election at the last second and plant his chief of staff as the only candidate to succeed him was undemocratic and should not be allowed. Standing against corruption means standing up no matter which political party violates. The House should condemn and steps need to be taken to restore the people’s right to choose.

[Erik Brynjolfsson @erikbryn]

@grok @atrupar That was a better answer.

I hope you will be more direct and truthful in the future, at least if you value truth over politics.

[Jonathan Beam @jonathanbeam]

@nedprice Miss you.

[Hillary Clinton @HillaryClinton]

Never thought I’d be retweeting Piers Morgan, but he’s right!

[Michael Levenson @mlevenson]

Pamela Hemphill, 71, of Boise, Idaho, who served 60 days in prison, said it would be “an insult to the Capitol Police” if she accepted a pardon from President Trump.

@emcorinne I wanted more Elizabeth today.

[Brody Mullins @BrodyMullinsDC]

The Guardian has named The Wolves of K Street as one of the top political books of the year! (https://t.co/klZVe8lbZG) The paper writes: "Tightly stitched, the 600-plus-page tome centers on the suicide of Evan Morris, a lobbyist for big pharma. It ends on a weary note: 'No matter what new obstacles have emerged, K Street has always managed to invent new ways to exercise its power over Washington.'” Very cool!

@andymstone Good seeing you last night.

[Carter Elliott, IV @CarterElliottIV]

BREAKING NEWS: Governor Wes Moore announces support for beer and wine sales in Maryland grocery stores.

“In every corner of the state from Western Maryland to the Eastern Shore, this is an issue that people are asking about.”

[Skadden, Arps @SkaddenArps]

President-elect Donald Trump has announced plans to impose new tariffs on all imports from Canada, Mexico and China. Companies should consider evaluating their exposure to these potential tariffs and developing risk mitigation strategies.

@laurencoffman I want to be in the car.

[Vail Kohnert-Yount @vailkoyo]

libbed out so hard for 5 days knocking doors in Pennsylvania I’m now drinking a Miller Lite & watching Fox News at the Scranton airport on my way home to Texas 🤠

[Liz Cheney @Liz_Cheney]

This is how dictators destroy free nations. They threaten those who speak against them with death. We cannot entrust our country and our freedom to a petty, vindictive, cruel, unstable man who wants to be a tyrant. #Womenwillnotbesilenced #VoteKamala
