Gillian Jacobs Quotes
I try to have a very well-rounded group of friends that did a lot of different things and weren't just performers. Because I feel like there's both less feeling of competitiveness, and it put my own career in perspective.

The cultural norms of Congress change from era to era. In the 1930s and 1940s members of Congress could not fly back to their home districts for weekends and many, like Truman, did not have their spouse in Washington. There was a camaraderie among Congressmen—even members of opposite parties or political enemies. Also, while there was much divisiveness on most domestic policy issues, there tended to be much bipartisanship on foreign policy and procedural matters. At the opposite extreme, in the first years of the 21st century, there was little or no socializing among Congress members and certainly little between party opponents. One party had vowed to block all legislation so that they could say the President did not accomplish anything and limit him to a single term, and the other party saw the situation as advantageous as they could blame the Congressional failure on the other party. Few people had friends with whom they disagreed politically.
