Good morning, Chicago. Uplifted by this view from my hotel-room window, I’m here to give a couple of talks about the U.S-Mexico border.

Yeah, hi. When are the first votes today?

1:00 to 2:00, OK. You don’t have any idea when are the last votes today… OK, thanks, bye.

…

Hi Congressman, this is Jonathan. No, Jonathan.

I’m just calling because first votes are from 1 to 2 today.

No, not yet. I’ll be in the office soon. OK, bye.

“Enough with the news,” I said this weekend. “Let’s watch a Christmas movie. An old one. From a more innocent time, a happier time, when things weren’t so damn complicated.” “Have you seen Holiday Inn, with Bing Crosby? Me either. It’s a classic. Let’s watch it.” [About 45 minutes in, the above scene comes on.] “Oh, for fuck’s sake.” [Grab remote and shut off TV]
