the new yorker radio hour

co-produced with wnyc. it's wonderful. 

there have been two episodes so far, and the guests have included kirsten gillibrand, ta-nehesi coates, alison williams, jorge ramos, and amy schumer. you can listen  HERE and HERE.

i'm sorry, WHAT?!?!

New York senator Kirsten Gillibrand has a dedicated photo section in her new memoir, Off the Sidelines, and it includes one very important photo.

Apparently Gillibrand was once roommates with beloved Nashville actress Connie Britton when the two Dartmouth undergrads were studying abroad for a summer in Beijing. (via)

lady power.

i was really touched to hear that gabby gibbons opened her eyes for the first time during a visit from fellow congressladies kirsten gillibrand, nancy pelosi, and debbie wasserman schultz. the new york times has an enchanting article about the bond between these women and others in congress.
