Today I turn 41! I’m the birthday, as the kids would say.
& here’s what I’ve learned over these years:
A. There’s no substitute for great friends.
B. The little things are the big things.
C. Let things breathe — even important things need space.
D. Life is shorter than you think. Tell them you love them now.
E. We can win in this lifetime.
F. I get why runners always talk about running.
G. None of us are bigger than the program — but we make the program.

Part of the discussion: Schumer just agreed to fast-track at least 15 judicial nominees — 12 district court nominees; three appeals court nominees — who Trump and the Republican Party currently have lined up.
I welcome any discussion about the future of our caucus and the important work ahead. I’m proud of what we’ve accomplished together—55 seats and counting is an amazing result—and I have the votes to continue serving as Democratic Leader.
I look forward to leading our new Democratic majority and delivering for the American people.

Texas does not allow conjugal visits. Only four states currently allow. Yella Beezy would only be allowed to show casual affection to his woman while sitting across a table from each other. 30 years ago, 17 states had conjugal visit programs.

The more muscular I get. The more I hate clothes
I started buying women's clothing more because cheap clothing is tailored to different body sizes more
Especially pants. I can't find decent clothes that fit my legs or chest lol. Regular shirts pull at my underarm hair so much

NEW: In a tense late-summer meeting, Jensen Huang called his Chief Financial Officer Colette Kress a “deer in the headlights.”
His concern: Nvidia’s plans to fund the AI boom with its balance sheet were running into problems. He needed to figure it out.
He called her a “reporting CFO,” not someone who could help him define a strategy or make decisions.

Mamdani was on the news pissed, he didn’t waste anytime making it known people will be prosecuted.

JUST NOW: Jonathan Kreiss-Tomkins has won the governor's race in Alaska, CNN projects.
He'll be the first Democratic governor of Alaska since 2002.
He gets to govern with a "Coalition" of Dems & moderate Republicans that are running the legislature, in a pseudo-trifecta.

NEW: I interviewed Matt Lambert repeatedly last year as his bitter condo dispute escalated. He repeatedly criticized building manager James Stuart, whom he killed Thursday.

The thing about the Ayesha and Steph Curry thing is people aren’t even apologizing to her for being rude. They’re apologizing to him because they see her as his property and that is just so insidious like sorry big dog we insulted your property instead of to her for being nasty

That data for NYC is a mistake. Look at the NYC row in the 2025 MCCA report.
majorcitieschiefs.com/wp-con…
The data for 2025 in the 2025 report doesn't match the 2025 data in the 2026 report. But that data *does* almost match the 2026 data in the 2026 data.
Someone accidentally swapped the 2025 and 2026 data in the 2026 report. They should fix it.

Hold her accountable for her actual role, her actual mistakes and her actual wins that occurred within the reach of her power and office.
We have primaries for a reason but she certainly has the right to run and make her case!!!

I think men are often surprised when powerful men face consequences because it breaks a fantasy they quietly hold: that enough power, money and influence should make you untouchable

Founder advice: The first smear campaign is always the worst. But after you survive it, you gain freedom.
I got through HotNacho when I was 21. Now you have to Google it to see what that means.

"If Schumer is as tough as his defenders claim, with his new majority he should treat Trump’s appointees during his final two years in office exactly how McConnell treated Obama’s: By refusing to confirm any Trump Supreme Court appointee and almost every federal appeals court nominee." publicnotice.co/p/2026-blue-…

Mayor Mamdani's administration was intimately involved in drafting a new consumer protection bill introduced today by City Council member Chi Ossé — the latest indication the mayor plans to get more directly involved in the chamber’s legislative affairs.
