Something they can never take away!
Raise a glass to freedom! 🍻
Thrilled to see all the great results on the east coast. Meanwhile, here in Colorado, we decided that yeah, we're good with rich people paying for public school kids to eat lunch.
Well said, Mr. President.
Congratulations to all the Democratic candidates who won tonight. It’s a reminder that when we come together around strong, forward-looking leaders who care about the issues that matter, we can win. We’ve still got plenty of work to do, but the future looks a little bit brighter.

Normal People Don’t Want This Shit is running away with the vote tonight
I'm sure this will happen.
Looking forward to learning all about how the right should move left to win elections tomorrow. They should maybe dye their hair pink, learn to love pronouns.
Election Night salsa making.

I'm much more excited about the polls closing in NYC than here in Colorado. Can't wait to see the returns.

Go, Mamdani! We're cheering for you out here in the Rocky Mountains.
If you're gonna vote (and you should), make it cute.
We just voted for Zohran Mamdani
The comments here are priceless. Thanks, everyone, for my election day laugh.

Now back to our regularly-scheduled program, "Biden and the Dems' Problem Is..."

Cheesman Park Pavillion at sunset (and my shadow). Cheesman plays a big part in both Anyone But Her and Denver Noir. I always love coming here.

it's time for journos to start asking Johnson meta questions

"Speaker, on 5 occasions last week you said 'I haven't seen it' when asked about news events w/big implications for public policy. Do you ever read the news, and do you agree it's problematic for the Speaker to be so woefully uninformed?"
Or like the one I never had because I was too dumb and too scared to move to NYC when I was in my 20s. And dammit, everyone should live in NYC in their 20s if they want to.

(I wanted to. Too dumb. Too scared. Wish I could get a do-over.)
Hah -- on the contrary, I'm headed to NYC next week. And I hope to be celebrating Mayor-Elect Mamdani while I'm there!
This. Makes me sad for our country. And truly question our education system.
What he said Part 2: 💯 🎯
This handsome fellow joined our family this week. Hoping to make it permanent, but cat integration is rough so far. Cat does fine with our current dog, and the 2 dogs are getting along. If anyone has cat/dog suggestions, we are all big pointy ears.

Not surprised. We know, based on Epstein, that those associated with this administration do not consider teens to be children...despite the fact that anyone under 18 is, by legal definition, a child.
Accurate.
If Fox Propaganda had existed in 1974, Richard Nixon would never have had to resign.
Authors and readers — please join Kyle and me. And please share widely! Thank you! /5
I’m on board with this for Anyone But Her. 100% of my November royalties for copies purchased at indie bookstores, bookshop dot org, B&N, and any ebook retailer except Amazon, and 30% of my November Amazon royalties, will be donated to Food Bank of the Rockies. /4
