What it feels like to love one of the worst teams teams in baseball The Washington Post talked to nine Nationals fans in nine innings. Man, they’re going through it.

When Mac was a baby, Bryce Harper cradled him in his arms. A decade later, that same kid led “sell the team” chants at Nationals Park.

Today marks two months since the Senate unanimously passed my bill with Senator Collins to fix the D.C. budget time bomb set off by House Republicans.

If they don't pass this bill, D.C. won't be able to use its OWN money to fund its OWN schools, public safety and more. They must act.

She is a treasure, and this is such an unnecessary loss. This was her with my son’s pre-K class back in 2017.

Senate offices representing big states have a disproportionately large volume of calls to handle, so response time may feel extra slow. And, most of the staffers dealing with these calls are young and not the decision-makers. Those jobs are tough and become extra stressful at times like these.

Volume of calls/emails absolutely matters. The Senate phone lines have reportedly gone down several times this week because of the amount of calls coming in. That gets noticed, so keep it up.

How constituent calls/emails/letters are dealt with varies office by office. Generally, a good office is going to keep track of the number of calls/emails they're getting on each issue, and if you provide your contact info, you should receive a response, usually a form letter.

I remember the good old days when this was the Pour House and beers were $1 on Thursdays (and I met my husband there).
