That time Newsweek used a photo of Anthony Scaramucci as the graphic for an article I wrote about White House leaks. This was…many Scaramuccis ago.

How Do White House Leaks Happen?
Once Presidential communication is transcribed, it goes through a series of staffers for certification and filing. It is during that process that most of the leaks happen.

Too many politicians talk when they should listen. I believe that public service is too important for political nonsense — and that's the approach I'll take as Virginia's next Governor.

For once in my life, I actually made a choice that was the best thing for ME this week. And I’m really proud of myself. We’re always growing and improving as humans. I’ve finally learned to TRULY value myself, which is harder than it sounds! 🏆

Okay, my period of intentional news avoidance is complete. I took 12 weeks to decompress, focusing mostly on headlines to stay loosely in the know. But now it’s time to get back to paying full attention, knowing what is happening, processing the information, then teaching and sharing it to others.

Joe Biden is considering publishing the ERA today (his last working day in office). Please take a moment to text the White House at 302-404-0880 RIGHT NOW and ask him to certify and publish the Equal Rights Amendment as the 28th Amendment. Include your name and address. This is our Hail Mary!

People should heed Joe Biden’s warning of the current oligarchy and “concentration of technology, power and wealth” and we need to (1) enforce antitrust laws and (2) put rules in place for A-I.

There is something about watching Jimmy Carter’s casket on its way to his state funeral at the National Cathedral, on the precipice of a change of leadership in today’s White House, that feels like the end of leadership by great men who are also good men. It’s weighing heavily on my heart.

One of my most prized possessions is this autographed book by President Jimmy Carter. It was an honor to be in his presence as he signed it. President Carter was the quintessential public servant and the very definition of a good man. May he rest in peace.

Roxie is OVER Christmas. Today, she crawled under a throw blanket & said (clearly) with her eyes, “If you put me in a car, or make me do anything other than nap today, there will be trouble.” Now, trouble for Roxie means a light leash tug or sigh, but she was DEFINITELY threatening a SERIOUS sigh.🤭

Watching loved ones (and ourselves) age is like increasing the “structure” level on photos of our favorite memories. The facial lines are faint at first but become more pronounced as those memories become more firmly entrenched in our minds, as their importance grows.

This app is so much friendlier than our old stomping grounds. I hadn’t realized just how toxic it had gotten over there, nor how much post suppression was happening, until I branched out. Nice to see all my old tweeps over here in bluer skies!
