John McCain

Just in case anyone else was wondering, the two nays were Ron Wyden of Oregon and Rand Paul.

For what it’s worth, Cynthia Nixon is bisexual not a lesbian. I know that’s not really the point of the Christine Quinn controversy, but she’s been pretty clear that she finds it annoying when people erase her identity just because she’s married to a woman.  

Currently roasting a lemon rosemary chicken with a wild rice pilaf on the side and contemplating whether I have the energy to meal prep turkey meatballs for later in the week. Your marmelade looks phenomenal!!

ETA nevermind, I missed the part about “equivalent experience in the field” my mistake, should have read more closely.

Yeah, I keep seeing people freak out about this but it’s not like Dean Heller is a particularly reliable source of information

Ah you mean the DA Cy Vance who elected not to bring charges against him 3 years ago, despite having an audio recording of him apologizing to the victim.

I get that sentiment and don’t necessarily disagree, but she’s also definitely more qualified than most other celebrities are. She’s been a public education advocate in New York City for over 15 years and she’s also a spokeswoman for the Alliance for Quality Education, a policy and legislative nonprofit alligned with…

Re: the colorado thing, dirtbag isn’t exactly wrong but they’re hardly right in calling him a republican rep. He submitted the paperwork to switch affiliation from democrat to republican minutes before he was expelled so that the GOP (rather than the democrats who led the call for his expulsion) could pick his…

so did Virginia, Ohio, and Alabama. None of them explicitly offered a tax break but they all went in with something along the lines of “let’s talk.”

Are you from a particularly conservative sect? I’m just curious because statistically Jews are the most dem leaning religious group http://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2016/11/09/how-the-faithful-voted-a-preliminary-2016-analysis/ft_16-11-09_relig_exitpoll_religrace/ and anecdotally, I grew up reform in a pretty…

...weren’t the republicans supposed to be good with money? like wasn’t that their whole appeal at some point?

re: your point about being happy

Cynthia Nixon is the only good thing to have come out of this show, and she doesn’t have time for this shit because she’s getting ready to primary Andrew Cuomo.

Here’s a fun one: https://www.nytimes.com/2018/02/22/us/eric-greitens-indicted.html

I was also curious about this so I looked into it. He beat the incumbent in a primary election in which only 1000 people voted - he won by 20 votes. About 11,000 showed up for the general but its a republican leaning district (it has been represented by a republican since 1992, which is as far back as ballotpedia will…

I always felt kind of bad for Vanessa Marano, everyone (rightfully!) hates April but Vanessa did as good a job with her as any one could have

She won a grammy tonight! (for a children’s album)

Yes! She was incredible live, one of the best shows I’ve ever been to. I can’t really speak to the audience though because it was opening night of a really popular concert series in Brooklyn so the audience had way more park slope moms than I would guess her shows normally do.

I lied through my teeth to mine on Friday. Oops.
