A simpler time … visiting with Congressman Jared Golden (D - ME2) when we thought there might be some hope of saving #USAID.

LBJ was ... unique. Here's an actual recording of him calling the Haggar Clothing Co. to order some pants made to spec. Classic LBJ - blunt, borderline extortionate, (ahem) colorful, and irresistible, in its way.

This convo (and tape) would be impossible today!

Poor Asha. What a ghoul.

On the other hand, maybe this is her opportunity to escape. After all, there's unlikely to be a prenup.

There are so many dog whistles in this interview that the pet shelter near my house is freaking out!

"Twenty people living next door .... "
"it's a bit rowdier ...." and
"four families speaking a different language...."

Somewhere, somehow, in some recess of the Capitol building, I hope there breathes a Republican with 1/10th the backbone that John McCain had. He screwed up aplenty in his life, he knew it, and he admitted it.

But when it counted, at least on this occasion, he put the American people first.
