Word on the Hill: You’ve Got to Vote
DC social calendar for the Election Week and a guest communicator
Funny or Die is bringing out the big guns for its last-ditch effort to get millennials to vote.
In the spirit of “We Are the World,” celebrities sang, “Holy S—, You’ve Got to Vote!” led by actresses Rachel Bloom, Elizabeth Banks and recording artist Moby in a video released Friday.
Other celebrity appearances include actors Jane Lynch, Jesse Tyler Ferguson, Adam Scott, and singer Patti Lapone.
No surprise on who they’re endorsing.
Staffer shuffle?
Speaker Paul D. Ryan’s communications director Mike Ricci brought in a guest communications director to work on Friday: his son.
The chatter is true: we have a guest communications director today. He’s pretty good at it, even w/ all the naps. #BabyRicci pic.twitter.com/gKS0fgeDm1
