Just changed out of last night’s jammies into tonight’s jammies. #FridayVibes
@Amtrak NE Regional train 139 has been stopped in Delaware for nearly 45 minutes and no word as to why. Also the power just cut off so we’re just sitting here in the stuffy darkness. This is unacceptable. Make an announcement!

Donald Trump’s former Sec. Def. Mark Esper: “[Trump] was suggesting that...we should bring in the troops and shoot the protesters.”
Q: “The commander-in-chief was suggesting that the U.S. military shoot protesters?”
Esper: “Yes, in the streets of our nation’s capital.”

being a journalist is weird bc you call a source back just to be like "wanted to confirm – was your porch made out of wood?"

On the (surprisingly high) chance this is my last tweet before this app goes dark, I just wanted to say to everybody who was *sure* I'd implode my career by simply telling the truth on this app, or tried to get me fired because of something correct I tweeted: Fuck you, I won. :)
This Space feels like I just wandered into a wake for an old friend who I knew was sick but didn’t realize just how bad she was. #twitterdown teapaw.org/i/spaces/1djGXlyeELdGZ
