My two favorite worlds collided today

[hannah geldzahler @Hangeldzahler]

The way that @SteveKornacki suited up in his khakis to discuss the dog show as if it was Maricopa county…. King.

[Tess Van Schepen @tessannavs]

Union dogs ftw

[Dripped Out Trade Unionists @UnionDrip]

I am a dog, not scab.

[Tess Van Schepen @tessannavs]

Particularly proud to work for @NEAToday and @BeckyPringle today.

[Axios @axios]

Largest teachers unions in U.S. plan to protest NRA on day of convention in Houston https://t.co/s0Mtg1CGDJ

@missrrosenberg @CT_Ford The growth is unreal, had to update you both

[Tess Van Schepen @tessannavs]

@missrrosenberg @CT_Ford It’s a miracle! Thank you both for your guidance

I MISS MINNESOTA

[Catharine Richert @CatRichert]

BREAKING NEW THREAD: Minnesota will expand COVID-19 vaccination to *all* state residents 16 and older starting March 30.

The information, which has been communicated to health systems and public health offices, marks a major milestone in Minnesota's vaccine strategy.

[Tess Van Schepen @tessannavs]

@missrrosenberg @CT_Ford Thank you both! Sincerely hoping I can revitalize mine. It’s in a south facing window but that’s the best I’ve got to offer it

[Tess Van Schepen @tessannavs]

*past ugh

[Tess Van Schepen @tessannavs]

one thing I appreciate about this pst year is an increased willingness to talk about mental health. I for one have been up and down, and am more open about this with friends and colleagues than ever before.

[Tess Van Schepen @tessannavs]

Don’t underestimate unions!

[Tess Van Schepen @tessannavs]

This sadly doesn’t stop 5-7 years later either. Stop recommending I apply for entry level jobs when I’m far over qualified for them.

[R A C H I E @itsmeRachie]

Name a place with tighter security than the Capitol. RIGHT answers only. 😂👇🏽

[Tess Van Schepen @tessannavs]

@laneyanna Yes, at home and safe! Thank you ♥️

[Tess Van Schepen @tessannavs]

DC friends, do not order delivery tonight. Grab something to eat now from a cornerstore or go the frozen pizza route like me.

“...who sometimes gets into heated but sincere arguments, and who is "combative" because they give a damn ... is perhaps the kind of person who we do want in positions of power” - @JillFilipovic on @neeratanden for #OMB. She gets it.

[CNN Opinion @CNNOpinion]

.@JillFilipovic writes that branding Neera Tanden, Joe Biden's nominee to run the Office of Management and Budget, "a Twitter meanie whose online sparring makes her unfit for duty is hypocritical and dishonest." https://t.co/XZXfAMu4i4

[Tess Van Schepen @tessannavs]

I honestly forgot what that felt like - to have a speech lower my blood pressure rather than raise it. Thank you @JoeBiden #BidenHarris2020

[Tess Van Schepen @tessannavs]

Your friendly reminder to ignore the polls and that Early Vote numbers aren't everything. This isn't over, 11 days. #BidenHarris2020

[Tess Van Schepen @tessannavs]

Police officers not wearing masks when entering stores is completely unacceptable. I see it all the time in my neighborhood. The rest of us are doing our part - why aren’t you @DCPoliceDept?

[Tess Van Schepen @tessannavs]

As of today, I've paid more in speeding tickets this year than Trump paid in taxes. Yes, I know I should slow down, but that's not the point.
