Hey everyone!
Huge news! Our trans girl scout list has sold a total of 146,000 boxes as of today!
But MANY trans girl scouts only have 20, 30, 40 boxes sold.
I just resorted our list to put those on the top.
Go get your girl scout cookies and make a trans kid's day!

Direct quote from Trump re: Kennedy Center, “I'm not ripping it down. I'll be using the steel. So we're using the structure. We're using some of the marble.” -he’s ripping it down. Stop him or you won’t recognize DC soon.

And that’s how I ordered 4 boxes of thin mints.

This post shouldn’t make me think of @schumer.senate.gov, but sadly it does.
I am introducing the Cut It Out And This Time I Really Mean It bill. It provides an additional $57 billion to the murder goons but they will agree to wear business casual Monday through Thursday and if they do any murders they have to put a dollar in this jar.

Furious that these 60-year-old words are still true. What are we going to change? WHEN are we going to change?
Today as we honor Dr. Martin Luther King Jr, feel each of his words in your heart & soul.
We've seen struggles, injustice & tyranny before & previous generations of heroes like King fought for our freedom with blood & tears.
Now it's our turn to fight for future generations.
Will you stand strong?

Not my cousin telling me on Christmas Eve that I need to bring a pie to dinner tomorrow. Would an open-face PB&J count? #christmas

When the Wampanoag first fed the Pilgrims
they didn't realize
they'd just invented Socialism
for undocumented refugee immigrants.
Happy Thanksgiving.

Growing up, I couldn’t wait to get back to New England every summer and it’s hot, unfortunately named pudding with vanilla ice cream.
Once a popular dessert (or breakfast) across the country, Indian Pudding is rarely seen outside of New England today but it deserves a comeback. youtu.be/RMSV5PVOA7Y?...

I for one think the Epstein Ballroom will be magnificent. I love the decor theme of “what if Uday Hussein ran a Ramada Inn.” And giving it a theme song everyone will associate with it is a stroke of brilliance! “Thank Heaven for Little Girls” is very catchy.

Who is that acrobat in the outfield? Amazing defense is not what killed Mets today. It was all the sloppy games this week…and thru the 2nd half of season.
