There's a big fallacy behind the criticism of Biden's decision to withdraw from Afghanistan--which is that the alternative to withdrawal was the status quo (as McConnell and other critics maintain). That's simply wrong. 1/x
“I’ve felt a pull that goes beyond just familial obligations. I’m also a 30-something professional looking for a better life post-pandemic. I’m moving back because after a nightmare of a year, Chicago is poised for a breakout decade. And I want in.” chicago.suntimes.com/2021/4/…
The last year has been the most challenging one of my career. But it has also taught me so much & led to this incredibly humbling honor. I’m lucky to have the support of so many around me to guide me in this journey.

Ok here we go.
Look at the electoral maps by county for the last few decades of US presidential elections. You’ll notice that the South goes almost uniformly Republican red every time.

And do better next go around.
A stark reminder, especially at my age, that all-nighters are fine, until you have to pay the price. I had intended to get some sleep last night, but it never came and I was glued to the news. I can't predict a lot about the future, but I can predict a nap.
If America were a TV show, this week is either the last episode of the 45th season, or the first episode of the last season depending on the outcome #ElectionNight#Election2020
My hot tip if you’re looking to support local businesses this winter. If you’re able to offer support on days other than Saturday, please try to do so. Right now, too many places don’t have space to accommodate all the Saturday business, but can’t fill tables the rest of the week
SIREN! The Biden Town Hall on ABC drew 2.3 million more viewers than the Trump town hall on NBC. There is nothing @realDonaldTrump cares about more than ratings. variety.com/2020/tv/news/don…
