Just got to the Chamber for the Electoral count certification. No rioters or insurrectionists out there. No police being attacked. No windows being broken. I guess elections have gotten much more fair than they were four years ago. #cutofflegsfroggoesdeaf

There is zero evidence to support this right now. Zero. My colleague is spreading misinformation. Is that the right thing to do under these circumstances?

There’s a shortage of blood in the area so I dropped by the local Red Cross to donate today. You can too. Super easy, and they’ll give you juice and snacks afterwards! Find a location here: redcross.org/give-blood.html

Yeah it’s ridiculously cold down here but these oysters aren’t going to harvest themselves! And there will be oysters.

The winter solstice was today at 0420! Shortest day of the year. The Romans celebrated with feasting, drinking and merriment. Good practice for Monday’s airing of grievances and feats of strength.

This is really dangerous stuff. Liz Cheney was doing her constitutionally-defined job. Between the lawsuits of pollsters and newspapers and the criminalization of political opposition, these people are breaking our democracy.

Rendered about 5 pounds of beeswax last night over the fire. Gotta figure out the best way to fine filter it.

Also, in case you think going on Fox involves cushy studios, green room buffets and peeled grapes…nope. More like a van down by the river.

I told our House Democratic Comms team that we need to spend more time on outlets like Fox, telling our story to folks who don’t often hear from us. Here I’m answering whether the NJ drones are a prelude to a Pearl Harbor like attack. Spoiler: No they’re not.

Enjoyed this last week. Figure I may not get invited back for some years…. 😛
