No Foie Gras mention but Chef José Andrés did tweet last night:
“America is tired of disrespect, lies, insults, name-calling, broken promises, and people who use religion as a puppet or power to enrich themselves. America wants honesty, to be heard, respect, and honest leaders—even for those who you disagree with…A lesson for @GOP and @TheDemocrats: Let’s work for We the People! Longer tables, all welcome! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸”

The WSB is celebrating 175 years of German singing in the DMV at our fall concert! Join us for an evening of music and fellowship.
In 1851, members of Concordia Church (now The United Church/ Die Vereinigte Kirche) in Washington DC formed what would become the oldest continuously operating singing society in the DMV. Fittingly, we are celebrating our anniversary with a concert that takes us back to our roots and through 175 years of Saengerbund history. Our friends from the Delaware Saengerbund and the German Vocalists from the German International School in Potomac will come to DC to celebrate with us, and we hope so will you! A reception will follow the concert.
Thanks to Will for sharing with us:
