Imagine the reaction if Obama’s White House tweeted this

Lately I've been lifting heavier than ever, my Peloton rides make leaderboard every time, and I've added on Pilates, Barre, and HIIT to different days depending on if it's a strength or cardio day. Tonight I finished 2 rounds of leg workouts and was toast. I usually do 3, then a Pilates class.

Ecology Director Casey Sixkiller joined @murray.senate.gov today to discuss the impacts of a federal funding freeze on programs designed to protect Washington communities.

This is a campaign that I will absolutely donate to despite living nowhere near New Mexico. #DebHaaland is the best of government employees. We should all hope to be as dignified, transparent, and principled as she is. I can think of no one more qualified for this role 💙

Ellie would (respectfully) like to ask: Does this qualify as "serving cvnt?" Affirmative responses only plz she's VERY SENSITIVE
