They say dress for the job you want. Anyone who knows me knows I’ve been doing exactly that for over a decade—perfecting the look of an unemployed gypsy. Turns out it finally paid off. After a hell of a run, I’ve sold my part of Firehouse. (More in comments)

I’m insanely grateful to the team I’ve worked with over the last 10 yrs and excited to watch them to continue to do great things with their new partners at Precision. Love you guys and will miss you. As for me, I’m doing pretty OK.

Some in Donald Trump's campaign are "less than excited" about President Biden dropping out because "they were ready for a landslide victory" against him, says Terry Sullivan, a former campaign strategist for Marco Rubio. "Now they're just hopeful that Democrats push and kind of force through Kamala Harris as a nominee instead of letting an open process," he says.
