Emma walked in from school on her 16th birthday, already half-convinced nothing big awaited her. She’d asked for a puppy for years and mostly stopped bringing it up. Her parents gave her a box. 🎁 She opened it and pulled out a stuffed black dog. It was cute, but not what she’d hoped for. Then her father brought in her real gift, Fig, whose tail hasn’t stopped wagging. Welcome to the family, little one.🐕‍🦺 ❤️

On Sunday, November 8, a Ring doorbell camera reportedly captured a Virginia mother dropping off her three young children at their father's home two toddlers and a 1-year-old in a car seat. In the footage, she carries their bags to the porch, sets down the car seat and tells the children, "Tell your daddy to get you. Mommy's got a job interview tomorrow. I got sh*t to do, so stay right there." Then she walks away. Thank God for the father's aunt. She lives with him, saw the drop-off on her Ring app, and remotely unlocked the front door so the kids could get inside. They were reportedly alone for about 20 minutes before their father arrived. The family says the parents had recently separated and had no custody agreement in place. Police were called. CPS was notified. Officers reportedly spoke with the mother and let her leave. No charges have been reported. I get it, breakups are messy. Being a single parent is exhausting. Job interviews matter. Life gets overwhelming. But you don't leave a 1-year-old in a car seat on a porch and walk off. Those babies didn't choose this separation. They didn't choose the fight between mom and dad. They just needed an adult to stay until the other adult was actually there. 20 minutes is a long time when you're 1, 2, and 3 years old. Anything could have happened. A stranger, a dog, a fall, the cold — anything. If I were the dad, I'd be furious and heartbroken at the same time. If I were the aunt, I'd never stop checking that camera. How would you handle this if this was your family? Because to me, this isn't about mom vs dad. It's about three little kids who deserved better than being left on a porch like bags of groceries.

There is a standard and it isn't given, it's earned. #GoNavy | #BeatArmy

Politico is working on a "story" that criticism of the VP from Brian Kilmeade, Marc Theissan, and me are broadening and strengthening his support.  Now, folks, I've been around a few years.  I've seen presidents and vice presidents come and go.  I've seen politicians come and go.  I've also seen campaign operatives and surrogates manipulate a willing media in hopes of creating a pseudo-news story to advance an agenda.  In the case of the reporter, better access.  In the case of the politician, to discourage criticism.  We are not going to be played.  That said, I assume that those who criticize the VP and/or his positions will be encouraged to do so by the VP and his operatives since, according to the story to be published, it is helping him!

This is still one of the funniest local news clips ever! I remember watching this live and I was crying! 😂

Congratulations to my friend @LeaderJohnThune on his reelection as Senate Republican leader. John is a trusted colleague and a steady voice, which has served our group well over the past two years as we’ve worked to advance our Republican agenda, and will continue to do so. Looking forward to continuing our work together as a team in the new Congress.

I realize we’re not supposed to talk about academics in college football because barely anybody does actual school in what’s become a minor pro league, but… This move will give the Corps an extra week after the game & before Term Ends. That will help the actual football players TREMENDOUSLY, probably allowing several to pass classes they might’ve previously not passed. #GoArmy #BEATNavy #ArmyNavy

Any Harvard graduate student who participated in this planned class disruption should be disciplined to the fullest extent possible under Harvard’s policies. The professor tried to move the class and couldn’t. His students were disrupted while trying to complete an in-class exam. Completely unacceptable.

While Republicans are prepared to work in a bipartisan way, we will also emphatically oppose Democrats when required to protect hardworking Americans and our system of government. The election wasn’t a mandate for radical policy and socialist fantasies, and I hope Democrats realize this.

“Twenty-six years after a chance seating assignment, Mike Bloomberg and Diana Taylor have married. The longtime couple exchanged vows today in a small, private ceremony at their home on the Upper East Side, joined by family, including his daughters, Emma and Georgina. The two first crossed paths when they sat next to each other at a Citizens Budget Commission meeting while he was first running for Mayor.” - Spokesperson for Mike Bloomberg

#Patriots WR DeMario Douglas postgame says the team needs to have more support for each other on the sidelines. He feels the team in unconnected right now: “I just feel like we need more energy on the sideline. I think that’ll help us play complimentary football. I feel like, the offense go out on the sidelines when the defense out there, I feel like we need to be out there [on the sidelines] to be like ‘let’s go.’ I feel like that’ll help the energy around the whole team. I feel like once we get that together, be a tighter team, we’ll clean a lot of things up.” (🎥Patriots)

I received a new @CapitalOne credit card at my home address in the name of a stranger. I called Capital One customer service. Was there a mailing address error? Or was there identity theft? I offered to give last 4 SSN of each family member to confirm none are associated with the card and to relieve my concern there is identity theft. Customer service supervisor told me she could not do that. She recommended I go thru credit bureaus to confirm my or a family member's identity wasn't stolen. Hmmmm. 🤔 We could have solved this entire matter in less than 60 seconds. Instead, Capital One recommended I spend more of my time (and time of each of my family members) on a major failure on their part (CC sent to wrong address) or to determine if there was identity theft, which some of us consider a big deal. #CapitalOne #Fail

The slimiest member of the DC press corps who conspires with low integrity attention seekers to leak strategies being discussed in House Republican meetings is Jake Sherman. To be clear- If you want my vote for leadership you will commit to no on or off record interviews with Jake Sherman for as long as he leaks our confidential team meetings. If being in “punchbowl” is more important than keeping the confidentiality of your colleagues not only are you unfit for Leadership, you shouldn’t call yourself a patriot. Do not call me and ask for my vote unless you are willing to make that commitment. Our Republican Conference was crushed on Tuesday and we enter one of the most perilous times in our nations history. I can only speak for myself, but I will not be tolerating games and BS. 🇺🇸
