I’m transitioning from budget Josh to bread Josh. What should I name it?

Praying for my congresswoman.

The Mayor of Philadelphia made a special stop to speak to my students from Lincoln at the Pennsylvania Convention Center. She’s awesome.

My kid, also known as Pinocchio, would like to wish you a Happy Halloween from the Oxford Halloween Parade.

I’ve been texting one of my students from the hospital. She’s in good spirits and has non life threatening injuries. These are good kids; on Tuesday we are planning to go to the capital, breakfast with the democrats and lunch with the republicans. They were going to solve the budget crisis.

My heart is breaking.

Boys weekend.

Not good. Not American.

It was a blast having my students from Lincoln University of PA in West Chester. They got to meet and ask questions of judges, the Chester County District Attorney, the Public Defender, and many more leaders. Most of the students are members of the Thurgood Marshall Law Society.

Go Birds.🦅

Big step while holding a rock.

I'm incredibly proud. This headline says a lot, but it's not the whole story. Yesterday, Chester County took an important and emotional step to codify protections for veterans, people of faith, gender, race, and sexuality.

Does anyone else workout to the Golden Girls?

Happiness.

I’m 100% certain I could not love this more.

This is scary.

A big shout out to Chef Chris at the Bedford, PA Hoss’s for getting our kid a hot dog with his name literally on it.

Get someone to look at you the way my kid looks at a watermelon.

Rand Paul is correct.

Happy 🌈.

Today, we remember and honor those who were willing to sacrifice their lives for the rest of us to live free. Blair, Rory and I were humbled to participate in the Kennett Square Memorial Parade. Thank you to all who serve and have served. 🇺🇸

If she coached the Sixers, they’d never have lower back tightness again.

This federal budget will make life much more harder on people experiencing poverty.

It’s always a good day to run in Central Park.

Legend.

Being a mom is a heavy lift. Our big guy has it made with a mom who is always ready to scoop him up, take him on adventures, and soothe him when he needs it—happy Mother's Day to Blair and all the moms in the world. The rest of us are lucky to have you.
