The MA Republican campaigns are hilarious right now. They're like, "No, we're Republicans like Charlie Baker, not that other guy." As if they don't have a MAGA hat in their possession.

Hey Employers, If you've had a job open for more than 4 weeks, switch it to remote and see how many resumes you get. Gas is $5. We don't want to drive to an office to sit on Zoom all day.

I went to a hockey game tonight. During warmups, they showed different fans in the Jumbotron. They focused on a couple and they held up their ring fingers and the crowd cheered so loud for them. It was so wholesome!

Why yes, I am up at 4am trying to find my beanpole of a child some dress pants because the ones we bought at #OldNavy this weekend shrank beyond wearability and he needs them for tomorrow. 😑

Are we sure we even need a House of Representatives? We seem to function the same with or is without them. Also, they need to stop leaking their plans. Just blindside Johnson so he can't run and hide.

Bob Kraft is having a rough week. His team lost on Wednesday, his wife got to vote to shudder the Kennedy Center, he got to reveal his pro-Israel stance and now everyone is remembering that he's in the Epstein files. Myra would have never stood for this.

My 8th grader is learning Civics and his teacher showed them the media bias chart. He says to me, "All the common channels are left leaning." I had to break it to him that he only thinks that because he lives in a left leaning house.

Millennials, do you ever go to a sporting event or something where they play the Friends theme and have a little panic that you're going to be the only one to clap because everyone else is too young to remember that part? Or is your anxiety under control?

I booked a round trip flight on Southwest with connections and only ended up on one of those flights, which was delayed. My connection got cancelled mid-flight and I had to spend 9 hours in Austin. Got into LAX at 2am instead of 3pm as planned.

To that end, when they changed the return flight, they assigned us all separate seats, which I had to change because my 10 year old with anxiety was not going to be in Row 9 while his parents were in Rows 19 and 21.

On the way back, they rebooked my flights 3 hours before boarding, that flight got diverted, returned to DEN, where they held the plane but didn't tell the plane I was on to let people with connections deplane first and I was in the last row. Had to run from Gate 35 to 59 (in DEN, which is so far).

I got a phone call today letting me know that Dr Shiva is running for MA Senate. I was like, "... Cool?" And the solicitor asked if I knew who he was. I do not. She offered to text me info about him. Hard pass, but what party is he? "He's independent!" Unlikely.

So I ask if he leans to the right or left. She laughs and says "Funny, he used to be registered Republican," and I cut her off right there and say "then I won't be voting for him but thank you for your time" and hang up. 🚩🚩🚩

The Pulitzer committee definitely has an agenda, which is fine, but how are there all these amazing stories about how corrupt or government is and no one is doing anything about it? We're all just living life like democracy isn't being sold out from under us.

Being an aunt is wild. I have my nephew for the night and he's sad about missing his parents. I'm like, "The guy who once kicked me in the face doing his Mikal Baryshnikov impression? You miss that guy?"

On the one hand, it's refreshing that all my favorite senators are coming down hard on Kristi Noem and this stupid war but on the other hand, it's super frustrating that there's nothing they can do about it.

If I was the President, I would wait until the Paralympics were over and I would have a "Olympic Medalist Breakfast" at the White House. If you got a medal, you're invited to breakfast. If you don't want to come, your loss. My White House would have the best omelets in the country.

Since the government is going to shut down again in February, I think it's important for the Democrats to figure out plans now. Like, I don't want to see any budget votes until the House agrees to impeach.

I know people want to take credit for getting Kimmel back on air. We want to feel like we can make a difference in this hellscape. Kimmel was going to sue Disney and win. The Mouse doesn't lose lawsuits. It wasn't your cancelled subscriptions. Sorry. Anyway, release the Epstein Files.

"I think it's worth to have a cost of, unfortunately, some gun deaths every single year so that we can have the Second Amendment to protect our other God-given rights. That is a prudent deal. It is rational." - Charlie Kirk, April 5, 2023
