@treeaston False.

The real answer is “senior legislative intern,” a self bestowed title of a kid in my Senate office; rivaled only by the intern in my House office who promoted themselves to “junior staff assistant” on their resume.

But Sr. Leg Intern had a greater penchant for chaos.

@igorbobic @capitalweather I mean, they had to — as the only paper with a meteorological term in the masthead, it’s the only game in town.

@ChadPergram Turning to Fox to get a breakdown of internal Democratic Caucus dynamics is like asking an atheist about the inner politics of a papal conclave.

The majority of voters not knowing who Liz Lemon is: the most Liz Lemon outcome possible.

Wonder if there’s nuance to Walter White, is that based on him being a high school chemistry teacher or regional drug kingpin 🤔

We tested how voters define the "working class" by asking about popular fictional characters.

Voters agree most on defining Homer Simpson (+56), Fran Fine (+46), Peter Griffin (+46), and Hank Hill (+45) as working class.

How is it that in parenthood you don’t have enough time to do anything but you have too much time to do nothing?

@coleleiter It would make for a hell of a crossover episode!

Q would have such contempt for Roddy; Jackson Lamb would annoy the hell out of Moneypenny.

Meanwhile Shirley and Marcus are just confused as hell how River actually got good at his job.

It’s criminal — downright un-American — how long they expect us to wait for new Jeopardy episodes.

A nearly two month hiatus in the doldrums of summer is a cruel cruel offense.

@_Jon_Green Reminds me of when journalists use the term “obtained” as if they were exfiltrating state secrets and not being blasted a press release.

We need good journalists and the industry has been in the barrel for too long, but sometimes they’re awfully silly.

@thekuhlest @offbeatorbit The most devasting thing I've read since becoming a dad. Thank you for posting, it felt like a moral imperative to slog through each story. But I'm still sick to my stomach.

Acknowledging it could happen to anyone is an act of empathy. It's also what makes this so terrifying.

@coleleiter Hogwash! There’s a disturbing lack of whiskey.

This reads like a tale from a foreign land where Godfrey interprets radical earnestness + the desire to listen as naive and unsophisticated.

Why is Sand’s decency so hard for her to believe? Yes, it’s uncommon in today’s national politics—but it’s right at home in the Midwest.

@mlstrat Replying with the Kaaba emoji was a wild move

Who the fuck cares? Best thing Steyer could do is be quiet.

@TBastille77186 @davidhogg111 What is this nonsense?

Rep. Waters has participated in every Financial Services Committee hearing as ranking member, has voted consistently on the floor.

What is this absurd claim she hasn’t been working?

Complain about her all you want but get your stupid facts straight.
