Rep. Lauren Boebert is outraged that fellow Republican representative, Tom Kean Jr., hasn't voted in the Capitol and hasn't been seen since March due to "health issues."
"We're supposed to be the party campaigning against working in the basement."

What the heck is wrong with you, @FedEx? I have an enclosed porch about 10 steps away from where you keep leaving boxes out in the pouring rain. Awful service!!!

Governor Kean says “the doctor wants” three times here. He may be trying to place blame for delays, or he may be implying a difference of opinion with the doc. He does talk about seeing different docs.

Such a powerful image from last night's @springsteen show at MSG, after playing sax, @jakeclemons kept his hands up during the powerful American Skin, about the 1999 NYPD shooting of an unarmed Amadou Diallo.

Watching the great @nilslofgren is always one of the highlights of a @springsteen show! From last night at the Garden. And love the band interplay. Max drums with such intensity!

A deep dive into what's behind the battle over money lawmakers add to the budget at the end of each year. Very little transparency and the lion's share of the money goes to Democratic districts. Much of the spending goes to good causes, but is the process fair?

Hey, @BroadStreetRun Philly, this is so messed up. There's no way for a people to get to the finish line to see our loved ones. There are no signs telling us we can't get to the finish line. No reason to stop people from walking down pathway next to park. Horrible!

Yet another reason to hate @Ticketmaster I wound up with an extra Philly @springsteen ticket, want to get back at least some of what I paid, TM won't let me sell it for less than a set price. Maddening!!!

A hall of fame class of journalists is leaving @AP today — 40 reporters and photo/videographers who've taken buyouts as our US news operation shrinks. They've broken untold stories, captured searing images, held power to account and made us all smarter. We'll miss them dearly.

Sure, $150 train tix to the World Cup match looks like price gouging, but @GovSherrillNJ happens to be right on this one. @PoliticalStile
