High fives are the best way to acknowledge someone’s existence. Think about it – a kiss is reserved for a finite group of people in your life, hugging gets very awkward (especially when the other person is Yao Ming), hand shakes can spread bacteria that lead to bed rest, and a wave might actually not be …

Nearly a year ago, talks of redesigning the ten dollar bill circulated faster than U.S. currency. Treasury Secretary Jack Lew last summer announced he was thinking about taking Alexander Hamilton off the ten dollar bill and replacing him with a woman. Stop traffic. A woman. Out of all people. The very species that spends money …

Here in DC there is no shortage of opportunities to get involved with a cause you’re passionate about.

Her …

Taste tested and approved by Erick Sanchez Happy Thursday, folks. You know, it’s a different kind of Thursday. The kind of Thursday that requires a different kind of appetite. Your agenda this Thursday might be different than that of another Thursday. Today, you might have really big plans. Maybe you plan on getting …

If you work on Capitol Hill you see, hear, and overhear many things that the rest of the mortal world isn’t privy to. These privileged professionals that serve our US government acquire a wealth of knowledge that sometimes is just too good not to share. We’ve provided a platform on …

Missourian turned Washingtonian – Michelle Hawks Reinshuttle – definitely gets our “Mom of the Year” award. Not only because she just wrote and published her first book, The Stuck Truck, but because she did it during a time when the rest of us gave up: Snowpocalypse 2016 (see also: Snowbama 2016, …

By: Brenna Williams On Saturday night, Taste of the South (TOTS) hosted its 34th charity gala. Since everything tots-related is delightful — tater tots and Toys for Tots are the other obvious examples — it’s become one of the city’s most anticipated events. Food-based charity events are perfect for those …

S-3 Public Affairs last night proved that Bryant Row + S-3 Group = fantastic things. Earlier this year, our own Amos Snead’s Bryant Row joined forces with S-3 Group creating a full-service public affairs firm anchored by seasoned, media-savvy Capitol Hill veterans.

Marissa Mitrovich is a stylist to the stars. Well, she once had an opinion on Cara Delevinge’s choice of footwear during her visit to the White House which, I think, makes her qualified if she ever decides to be. Marissa is the founder of Politiquette – DC’s one stop shop for fashion all year …

Working in the media really sucks. CareerCast recently ranked the worst jobs for 2016 and the industry made the list more than once – and we gotta tell ya’, they might be on to something. Early hours, late nights and days so long you can barely remember your own birthday or that it’s Christmas day …

Unless you live comfortably under a rock or you don’t have, at minimum, access to your neighbor’s wifi password, you probably saw the news that Paul Ryan will not be more than a figment of your inaugural hopes and dreams. In other words, he will not be – under any circumstance – …

Ryan Grim is the Washington bureau chief for the Huffington Post and a regular contributor on MSNBC. Whether you agree with him or not (shame on you) his opinions and commentary are fancied by the savviest in Washington. When he’s not keeping up with politics, he’s just trying to keep up …

Pets are way better than humans. It’s a fact. For pet owners, National Pet Day is literally every day of the year, but it’s only appropriate that we give it its own official holiday and #hashtag. National Pet Day is just another way to say “I love you” to that special one …
