Before I go to bed tonight, I want you all to know that I spoke to Barbara Howard (founder of the Women on 20’s movement) earlier and she told me that the Treasury is apparently super embarrassed that they launched a campaign to change the $10 right when ‘Hamilton’ became popular

They called it “that play in New York” and their PR department is reeling so badly that Secretary Lew has had to backtrack and say that “a woman will be on the currency” rather than “a woman will be on the ten” whenever people ask about it

She also said that they’ve been flooded with emails from Hamiltonians, fans of the musical, and Andrew Jackson’s actual descendants supporting Hamilton and condemning Jackson (his own family!! wild!!)

Anyway isn’t that just the best thing
