Yes, this is an East-Coast-centric blog, because that’s where most of the front pagers are. And besides, those of you on the other coast (or in distant time zones) ought to be in bed by now, anyways. Thoughts & prayers to those between Florida and Maine whose personal environments weren’t meant to deal with *this* level of chill!
Apart from “not freezing”, what’s on the agenda for the day?

Since Shirley Chisolm was one of my first real-life political heroes, I truly admire this woman’s style:
Shirley Chisolm said: "if they don't give you a seat at the table, bring a folding chair."
In her incredible campaign for Cincy City Council, @tamayaforcincy always repeated that quote.
Today, at her swearing in, she brought the chair. #mainstreet pic.twitter.com/zTj53qI9P9
