A wonderful story about Conan O’Brien’s high regard for waitstaff.

Reminds me of my mother’s wise advice when her daughters were young: Don’t marry them until you see how they treat the waitress.

Morning view.

(Hi, honey.👋)

You said I’d never be bored. Promise kept! Happy anniversary, Sherrod. I love you.

Dear Florida,

Your turn.

Love,
Ohio

Never thought I would see 'Meet the Press' publicly disssent from a decision made by NBC News, but it happened today. Chuck Todd to Kristen Welker: 'Our bosses owe you an apology.' Then two other panelists explained on air why hiring Ronna McDaniel is such a credibility disaster.

My campaign staff is advancing the Dignity of Work in Ohio and across the country every day.

I am proud to recognize this team and stand in solidarity with them.

Looking forward to this!

BREAKING: With a vote of 65-28, unconstitutionally gerrymandered Ohio House Republican lawmakers just voted to override Republican Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine's veto of legislation that bans gender-affirming care for trans youth. It goes now into the hands of the gerrymandered Senate.

Never doubted that Martin Sheen supports Biden. He supports someone else I know, too.

Thread.

This is the Martin we know and love.

Big news here in Ohio.

AP: “GOP Gov. Mike DeWine “found that the bill would affect a small number of Ohio children, ‘but for those children who face gender dysphoria and for their families, the consequences of this bill could not be more profound.’” apnews.com/article/transg…

Love. This.

Everyone is an artist when Ela is in the house.

Happy Thanksgiving. If you are struggling, may the day land gently.

Last week I wrote about past Thanksgivings & shared memories of happy & ridiculous family moments.

In response, many shared their own funny stories & traditions. Some, though, quietly let me know they were having a hard time.
