Monthly Round Up: July
In typical DC fashion, this month was hawt– and we’re not just talking body temps here. In one month alone we celebrated another year of independence, the return of Pikachu thanks to Pokemon Go, and the formal nomination of two presidential candidates: Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump. And yes, we double checked …

#TBT to the 1992 DNC
Let’s take it back to when the first round of the Clinton’s campaign for the White House officially began.

Democratic Disney Characters

What to Do in Philly

Yes We Kaine
You used to call me on my cell phone…. Now you only text?! This afternoon Hillary Clinton, a millennial-in-training, figured she’d announce her nominee for VP the old fashioned way- via text message. I mean, she could have Facetimed us or just made it her Snapchat story, but I’m not …
We Are the Champions- RNC Style
Trump made headlines again this week, and for once it’s not for something he said. After walking out on Monday night of the Republican National Convention to the tune of Queen’s “We Are the Champions,” Queen was, you could say, less than pleased about this song choice. Their rep released a …
