The fourth season of devious Francis Underwood’s Washington charade was released on Friday. With the real House out this week, you should have plenty of time to binge-watch the latest season of “House of Cards.”  

On Friday, Speaker Paul D. Ryan, R-Wis., tweeted a link and photograph for his agenda, or as he likes to call it, “House of Ideas.”

Rep. Renee Ellmers, R-N.C., tweeted a photograph of herself and the Netflix show’s Michael Kelly, or Doug Stamper, as fans know him. She wrote, “Sharing pic of me w/ @michaeljkellyjr aka #DougStamper as I look forward to #HouseofCards Season 4 marathon tonight!” And, when business mogul Donald Trump canceled his CPAC appearance, the twitter handle for Underwood responded.
