A member using Senate staff for personal errands is against the Senate Rules…
New: Inside the "Body Guy Caucus," the strange and often silly world of the most secretive aides in the Senate “It is literally Gary from ‘Veep,’" a former body person said Body people are sometimes tasked with oddball personal requests, like household tasks, grocery shopping

What’s happened in Baltimore is incredible and the mix of aggressive prosecution of illegal gun possession combined with proactive outreach to those most likely to be victims or perpetrators of crime should be replicated everywhere. nytimes.com/2026/08/17/us/…

Wow. I've never seen an Attorney General and an FBI Director at a presidential rally in all of American history. It violates all kinds of constitutional principles.

A teacher had a student who kept falling asleep in class; turns out she had no bed at home. So the teacher ordered a bed, installed it in the girl's home--and then got her food. Trump's policies inflict pain, but here are the counter stories of hope: nytimes.com/2026/08/15/opi…

I’ve shared this photo before but it is my favorite of East Potomac Park - taken in 1922, this place has served the DMV community for over 100 years. That will not end now.

For 81 years, a team inside the House Appropriations Committee investigated how federal agencies spent the public’s money. The problem is, an archive of the team’s findings is missing, and no one with the Appropriations Committee will say where it went. wapo.st/45dSAjS

This bill just passed the Senate, 86-11. It will do very little on sanctions, but it will give Trump huge & unprecedented new powers to place 100% tariffs on many of our allies
This is pretty insane. A close reading of the Graham Russia sanctions bill shows that Congress is poised to give Trump incredible new tariff powers—basically the tariff nuke new, via @crampell thebulwark.com/p/senate-votin…

I've talked to many DC residents who have built careers in gov. b/c they believe in public service. When fed hiring shifts away from our region, it affects families, neighborhoods & our local economy. We can’t just throw up our hands; we need a strategy to deal w/ this reality!

The Abdul grandparents ads is making the rounds. His 2018 gov campaign ran a similar ad with the same purpose - emphasize his MI roots and all-American life. Interesting to watch the different presentations.
This is easily a top 10 political ad. Maybe top 5.

The mayor of New York City has assembled a crew of Silicon Valley and United States Digital Service veterans to overhaul city services with better software. wired.com/story/mamdani-…
Jobs fell in local govt education… I wonder if that has anything to do with all the ED changes at ED. Could be just where state govts want to spend less money.
This is a bleak July jobs report: -23,000 jobs lost in July. (Losses occurred in retail, finance, hospitality, local gov't education) -264,000 people leave the labor force -Wage growth falls to 3.2% = lowest in 5 years (and totally wiped out by inflation right now) ***Lowest
