Do lefties fall in love and marry like normal people do?
Well, not hip, elite lefties, the kind who start NGOs or who might party with guys like Ezra Klein.

I hope DOGE was able to destroy her dreams, if even temporarily.

when she was alive many years ago, my mother would watch the wedding announcements, and analyze the names for any she might recognize, as public wedding announcements themselves were a sign of good parentage, breeding and belonging to a certain class
These two have followed that same tradition, and have the proper Anglo/Scots, WASP names to match.
Yet after that, “tradition” goes completely off the rails with these two
Its a sign of what has happened to America’s elites.
No way she could get a real job, so she starts an NGO to con donors into giving her NGO enough to fund her a nice salary running the NGO.
Esther Beer and Maureen Hooker are kinda cute.
They are united in their secession from the human race.
