wonder what lawrence is doing i just pop in and there you are. it s kind of a fun trick. i am discovering that i literally in my previous office had more room than i knew what to do with. soft now that i ve been downgraded for the children s cabin here cpq but it s true i do actually like it better. i like the smaller footprint, less clutter in the room, and therefore in my mind, and then of course there is the inspiration of having you right through that very thin wall, glad to know about the earphones. i worry later that i should have about how much noise i was making. really, don t worry about it at all. the head was a miraculous technology. but also, even though my office is smaller than yours, i am using even less of it than you are, so if you have books, or tchotchkes you want me to hold on, two of got space. i have, i m going to confess, peek into your office, because, brilliantly, the walls are made of glass. so much for privacy. and the rachel maddow office is ju
literally put chief justice roberts and clarence thomas to shame. the vice president s husband doug emhoff, was a very high powered, highly paid lawyer in a major law firm with offices around the world when kamala harris was elected vice president. during the transition, when perspective cabinet members were preparing themselves for the senate confirmation process, the first man in history to be married to the vice president of the united states prepared himself for his new, and historic world by quitting his job. he did not have to do that, he could have continued to derive millions of dollars of income from his law firm, the way the chief justice s wife continues to do, but he held himself to a higher standard, a standard that no one has noticed, and no one has given him credit for,
