I love this photo of Sherrod by ⁦@AnnaMoneymaker⁩ for the New York Times. He’s sitting just outside the Senate chamber, before dawn. His book: Keith Mestrich’s Organized Money: How Progressives Can Leverage The Financial System To Work For Them, Not Against Them.
Getting questions about that little door under the portrait. Sherrod said in the 19th Century senators were shorter. He’s promised to ask the Senate historian, so I’ll be back when I have the real answer.
Thanks to @kelsey_snell for this link to an explanation by the Capitol architect. aoc.gov/explore-capito…
Officially, the Architect of the Capitol.

Dear good people: In this crisis, a growing number of our fellow humans in America need food and, in too many families, diapers for their babies. If you are able, please donate to a hunger center or diaper bank.
Here’s one way to find a hunger center or food bank near you: feedingamerica.org/find-your-loca…

1/ When I was 6 years old, right after first grade had ended, my teacher invited my mother & me to her home. Unthinkable!

We wore Sunday clothes. I was so nervous & excited that I sat wedged next to Mom on Mrs. Behrendt’s sofa. I remember two things about what came next.
2/ Mrs. Behrendt gave me this framed Award of Honor, signed by her and the principal — and the superintendent! Mom talked about that for weeks. It was displayed on our dining room wall for years.
3/ As we were preparing to leave that day, Mom walked onto the front porch and Mrs. Behrendt pulled me back for a hug and whispered into my ear, “You are a very smart little girl. Let the grown-ups worry about grown-up problems.”

1/ A story.

I have known Lylah Rose Wolff since she was a little girl who was frequently up to her elbows in a craft of her creation. She is trying to look fierce in that first photo, which I snapped in the late ‘90s during a painting project in my home.
2/ Lylah was such a kind and whimsical child, and had the habit of suddenly sitting next to me on the couch, on the floor, on our front porch to ask questions that launched my mind into flight. I remember just one, because I wrote down our exchange in a notebook:
3/ “If you didn’t know my mom, would you still have found me and become my friend?”

We were planted on my front steps, sitting hip to hip after picking up dropped blooms from a hanging fuchsia. Her opened hands were full of petals, her eyes focused on my face.

1/ This is my friend Gaylee McCracken & me in 1986. We were working on a newsletter at a laundromat because I didn’t have a working washer. I had a camera on me, always, & when my son aimed it at us, we started clowning around. We were 2 young mothers with career dreams on hold.
2/ Gaylee was a silkscreen artist who had always wanted to be a doctor. I was a stay-at-home mom who yearned to be a full-time journalist. Others judged or dismissed us for our ambitions, but we were a team of two & never stopped believing in each other.
3/ We learned that there is no one trajectory for a rewarding life. We made each other brave. Here we are in 1999, when Gaylee graduated from medical school. I was a feature writer at The Plain Dealer & single mom. She is a beloved primary care physician. I’m still writing.

If you are watching the president’s news conference, you just saw him shaking hands with Target’s CEO.

Don’t model that unhealthy behavior. Hand over heart is a much safer way to greet others.
Also, @VP Pence just put his hand on the microphone after nearly a dozen have spoken into it at close distance.

Don’t do that.

Pull out alcohol wipe and wipe off microphone, before and after using. More good modeling by government and health leaders at pressers.
One of the men standing behind Pence just touched his face.

Don’t do that.

Your face is full of portals. Don’t touch it before washing your hands for 20 seconds.
