After two chambers, three offices, and four years, Friday was my last day in Congress. To say Iโm grateful is an understatement. I cannot thank enough every person whoโs shaped me on this journey.
Keep on fighting the good fight, Cap Hill. Iโll be rooting for you.๐

The longest 50-50 Senate in American history was also part of one of the most effective Congresses and Administrations in generations. Truly incredible to witness.

Hi friend โ
I need your help. We have a live show to produce, but weโre coming up against our quarter deadline and our opponents are inching ahead.

8 AM layover in Charlotte, I'm sitting on my laptop in a random corner when a v smol child saunters up and starts showing me his toys.
His dad comes over to tell him to leave me alone.

I thought this would get like 3 likes so just to respond en masse: my cat was kicking in his sleep so I figured he was deep in kitty dream land so I just squeezed each paw gently to get his claws to stick out and got VERY LUCKY, and/or Iโm Snow White
Something I value so much about D.C. is being surrounded by brilliant, passionate people who evolve from colleagues to genuine friends. Thank you to my Treasury fam for making my birthday so joyous, and thank you to everyone else for the well wishes! ๐

Evergreen reminder: When you're looking for good takes on what's happening in Pennsylvania politics, maybe listen to the guy who has literally won more general elections in Pennsylvania than anyone else, ever.
Also, he's great with maps.
I know a thing or two (or six) about what it takes to win statewide general elections in Pennsylvania.
And I believe
@JohnFetterman
is going to be our next Senator.
Something that excites me SO MUCH this cycle is the mainstream acceptance of something digital staffers have pushed for years: The strategic trolling, calling out of hypocrisy, using formats like memes & TikTokโit engages ๐ the ๐ base, and engaging the base makes a difference.
Does โDark Brandonโ matter?
Absolutely yes. Hear me out.
Memes donโt move votes, but memes do set the online vibe, which changes how activists and pundits feel and talk, and that sets the tone, and the tone sets campaign vibe, and voters vote on vibes more than anything else.
