One day you’re at Homecoming and the next you’re dressed as Mrs Potato Head at a Trunk or Treat. 😂 I love this month so much! The creativity is always so good.

Never seen a more “I ain’t reading all that” post in my LIFE

The Framers never thought Congress would cede its authority and power to a president. It’s pretty stunning when you think about it.

I know yard signs don’t vote. But the past few days in Greenville, SC driving around and talking to people has me hopeful for @drannieandrews.com! 🤞🏾 Go vote, y’all!!

There is nothing discrete about this at ALL. Had to check 3 times to make sure this was real.

Wow. This is so random and yet timely news. I’ve had multiple meetings over the past few weeks about mosquitoes, standing water, & the need for treatment strategies in the public space.

There’s always drama in Indiana. 🙄 A’ja Wilson doesn’t normally react like that so whatever was said by that fan was some mess. #WNBA

Didn’t think Caitlin Clark would get invoked in a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing, but here we are.
