Wait... let me get this straight: Nancy Pelosi had 32 votes against her after weeks of criticism over a "need for fresh leadership", but Steny Hoyer, who has been in the leadership for just as along, received a unanimous vote?

Gee, I wonder what the difference is there.
LET ME REPEAT: Steny Hoyer, who has been in the leadership for as long as Nancy Pelosi, received a unanimous vote from the same damn people who voted against Pelosi because they felt "fresh" and "younger" leadership are needed.

HOW VERY INTERESTING.
Steny Hoyer is a year older than Nancy Pelosi and has been in Congress six years longer than her.

I WONDER WHY HE RECEIVED A UNANIMOUS VOTE.

Every rational adult who's from the south knows the only generic name for any carbonated, sugary beverage--regardless of brand--is "coke".
"Hey, can you grab me a coke?"

"What kind?"

"Dr. Pepper"

"Got it."
I saw you liked this tweet, @DrPepper, and I want to assure you that I can be bribed for marketing on my account with several cases of Dr. Pepper.

If you had told me a plot point of a movie was the villain attempting to ruin the career of an elected official by showing a video of them quite capably recreating the dance from “The Breakfast Club” in college, I’d have assumed it was some really bad Disney Channel flick.
Like... a kids movie where the villain is written like a 2x4 plank to the head in crayola.
The end of the movie is a big musical number and features Ally Sheedy—whom the producers have ironically cast as the villain in a wink to adult viewers—experiencing a redemption arc and leading the cast in a group dance.

I can honestly say this has been the most productive year of my life, by far, and I'm really proud of that. I wrote a *lot* of things, but here are three things I wrote for which I'm most proud. (very short thread)
In April, I had this exchange with some transphobic religious folks, and the moment became something that has meant a lot to me.

In August, I got upset over a lot of the ageism I've seen seeing toward older folks, so I wrote this.

There is a lot to be happy and encouraged about. Two Muslim women in Congress and two Native American women. Women, generally. There will now be more than 100 women in the House. The KS governorship and also NM. The House, overall, flipped which is a very big deal.
There is other good news I am too tired to track so insert all that here like the openly gay governor in CO.
Things are less grim than they were yesterday. This is momentum. How do we capitalize on it? How do we encourage more robust voter participation in 2020? Who will CREDIBLY run for president in 2020 and how do we best hold them accountable to a truly progressive platform?

1. @Americanlll @Dina1trump @MastersShelby @RealEyeTheSpy @O_IrishT @_ImperatorRex_ @prayingmedic @qanon76 @WeAreOne_Q

Where'd the story on #Khashoggi go? The media narrative on him was nonstop 24/7 for 2 weeks then BAM, his story disappeared as fast as he did. Why? Read on...
2. Folks, this Khashoggi incident has WAY too many suspicious angles to it. You all know I've written multiple pieces on this as events and facts have developed. I still stand by my very first writing, a theme I have carried the whole time. This incident is doing one major thing.
3. From the earliest of campaign speeches, @realDonaldTrump spoke VERY unfavorably of the Saudis. Many times he's said they were responsible for 9/11 and that we invaded the wrong country by going to Iraq, implicating we should've invaded Saudi! He's also said for far too long...

Good morning sports fans it's day two of the #cpc18. I'm not there yet, but my coverage is starting early thanks to internet feelers I put out yesterday. I'm hearing that axing supply management has been scheduled as the last policy vote in it's session.
And that because it's the last vote in the session party members are going to try and run the clock on the policy session so it never comes to a vote, and therefore is shot down without being explicitly voted against.
I'll try and chase that down once I'm actually there.
