I'd like to keep Warren as my senator for sure.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I just saw Newsome's statement about replacing Harris in the Senate and I don't really know what to expect there, either. This is all way more fine-grained than I can keep up with.
I am quietly delighted by the Biden campaign's statement that it's completely irrelevant if the current president does not concede the election:
"As we said on July 19th, the American people will decide this election. And the United States government is perfectly capable of escorting trespassers out of the White House."
In other news, I am feeling sufficiently better about things to have made an appointment for an eye exam and new glasses. TWO pairs of glasses?!? Who even am I? I have these in the green at the bottom and really like the shape of them on my face, so will pick up the gray and pink ones.
Turns out I'm not the only one suggesting they check DJT's luggage before he's evicted ... and his kids' (I've said to count the spoons, but I think he'd be going for more ... like those silver statuettes he snagged from the ambassador to France). Although, considering his penchant for gold, he might latch on to any gold-plated anything that's not nailed down.
Ooh, nice!

So if I'm following this right, Putin is roommates with _______ ?
He's subletting from them, brenda.
I'd like to see Susan Rice as secretary of state, though the confirmation might turn into a circus. Samantha Power would be another good choice.
Chief of Staff - Karen Bass
HHS - Julian Castro again
Treasury - Maybe Paul Krugman? I don't really know a lot of potentials. It would be nice to see someone not coming from a big bank.
AG - Stacy Abrams
Others, I dunno.
Pete could do Veterans Affairs nicely.
No one contentious will get through easily.
Julian Castro somewhere for sure.
Vermont is safely blue, yes. What if they tapped Bernie for something. I’d love a new Senator in there, someone younger.
