I'm a male red panda living at the National Zoo in D.C.. I love trees, napping all day, foraging, and @ggreenwald. I am the People's Panda!

The Man may have caught me today, but I'm optimistic that forthcoming austerity measures will take a big cut out of the Panda Security team.

I deny those accusations. MT @Dan_Singer Off to the National Zoo to find Rusty! My guess is that he went to see One Direction last night.
Thanks to my new friends around D.C. and on Twitter for a great day out! You can help protect pandas like me with @RedPandaNetwork!

. @GingerGibson I'm actually a Green Party voter. When you live in a tree your whole life, you take conservation more seriously.

Coming to Politico: What the @rustythepanda breakout means for the 2016 campaign. Will @HillaryClinton weigh in?
