Mayor Parker backs legislation to boost housing development around SEPTA stations As part of her effort to build or repair 30,000 homes, the mayor is pushing for more housing near mass transit.

My team and I developed and drafted these bills. Never gets old seeing something you’ve spent months working on show up in the paperβ€”even if it’s usually someone else giving the quotes.

Never quite sure how to feel the day my boss's boss's boss's boss's boss's boss decides to introduce my latest huge project in public, especially since it's so high-visibility that it'll appear on my rΓ©sumΓ©. I suppose I should be excited, but also now EVERYONE is gonna chime in with opinions. Oof.

Whatever is in the Epstein Files is so explosive that the leaders of the Department of Justice are openly breaking the law every day to keep us from seeing it. (Just a reminder amongst all the other stuff flying around.)

If he had actual armor on his chest, Chekhov's Longbow would have been useless against him. What's the opposite of plot armor? He's wearing that.
