50 years ago tonight, as the only kid at Mennen Hall at Cornell with a TV in his room, I had a LOT of guests. We marveled (Sox fans, one Red fan, neutrals) at Carlton Fisk's instantly historic homer to win Game 6

Kinda wild that half a century on, the Fisk HR ball is now in my "Hallway Of Fame"😃

I just went to the House floor to demand that Speaker Johnson swear in Adelita Grijalva, but the GOP gaveled out without even recognizing us.

We’re not going anywhere. I’m here with Leader Jeffries and Adelita Grijalva. Speaker Johnson must swear her in.

Brian Schatz: "This is not about money. There is enough money to bail out Argentina with $20b. There is enough money to purchase a brand new aircraft for $173m for Noem. There is enough money to renovate the WH ballroom. What there isn't enough money for under this Republican government is you."

There are many of us who have had enough of the NHGOP violent rhetoric and action.

Bunch of wanna-be thugs.

Benson invited the Free Staters to NH, but they have clearly overstayed their welcome.

I’m feeling physically ill, nauseated actually, watching the destruction of the East Wing of the WH on @maddow.msnbc.com right now.

This building is a national treasure & belongs to WE THE PEOPLE, not this POS squatting in our Oval Office.

"...his songs touch a very deep place, melancholy & yet beautiful....a vulnerability in his writing that lets him get to a place in himself that people don't often put out into the world...allows the listener to reach that place." Ellen Wittlinger, late author of "Hard Love" named after his song.

The current two-storey East Wing was added in 1942 primarily to hide the construction of an underground bunker.
