There is a younger option, Hakeem Jeffries, who has also been mentioned as a top contender for Minority leader, and I have no doubt the squad will back him

President George W. Bush 2007 State of the Union Address: "Thank you very much. And tonight, I have a high privilege and distinct honor of my own -- as the first President to begin the State of the Union message with these words: Madam Speaker."

A gentle invitation to everyone--old timers and new users:

Humans are wired for belongingness. It is important for physical and mental health, satisfaction, happiness, and longevity.

The exodus from Tw is a belonging stress for those leaving after years of participation, and the arrivals for folks accustomed to the previous activity here.

The change offers NEW opportunities for connection, but getting there may be hard for a bit.

Please be patient and kind, all around.💙

A memory:
Emma (my daughter) kicks Spencer’s (my eight year old son) balloon.
Spencer: “Don’t take your anger out on my balloon!”
Emma (angrily): “I’m not angry!”
Spencer: “Then don’t take your happiness out on my balloon!”

I just heard someone call Texas the land of gun care and health control; never heard something more true.

I've been reminiscing a lot today, thinking back to the first year here on COSO. I made some really cool connections with folks who have moved on for one reason or another.

I've come to appreciate those connections and those with whom I've met since. It's like the modern-day pen pal, where even if it's been a while since we've written, the heart remembers.

I hope as the years go by for those new to COSO, you, too, make connections here. Who knows how your life or theirs might be enriched. 💜
