Jimmy took this selfie. Walking a little 9 hole golf course in rural New Zealand.
Just a random snapshot from 5 decades of pure joy... Not to mention friendship, brotherhood, respect, support and that non-stop smile of his.
I’ve loved every bit of it.

🚨🚨 @SenMcConnell at an Air Force appropriations hearing:
"I think it's safe to conclude there will not be another reconciliation bill. So it's really not an option."
Senate Appropriations Chair @SenatorCollins: "I agree with that assessment."

An old, but apt fable:
A scorpion wants to cross a river but cannot swim, so it asks a frog to carry it across. The frog hesitates, afraid that the scorpion might sting it, but the scorpion promises not to, pointing out that it would drown if it killed the frog in the middle of the river. The frog considers this argument sensible and agrees to transport the scorpion. Midway across the river, the scorpion stings the frog anyway, dooming them both. The dying frog asks the scorpion why it stung despite knowing the consequence, to which the scorpion replies: "I am sorry, but I couldn't help myself. It's my character." @Wikipedia

Sat down with @HowardMortman @hillhulse & @ChadPergram to go deep on 40 years of @cspan in the Senate. Howard found some amazing stuff here, so good that he split the pod into two parts.
Give a listen to Part 1 today, with second half coming next week.

I asked Gallego how he'd respond to people questioning if he knew of Swalwell's behavior given how much time they spent together.
"The man led a double life," he said. "For many – I mean, more than 20 congressmen, people that had served with him for a long time, we had no clue."

the dc streetcar's final week of service is upon us. it was born in a 2002 feasibility study, promised as a 33-mile network, delivered as 2.2 miles on H street with no fare collection, and is being replaced by a bus that does the same thing but can turn. $200 million well spent.
