watching the House GOP struggle through their leadership fight over McCarthy who has suspended committee appointments and basically thrown the whole start of the 118th House into chaos is a sign of what is to come and how poorly managed the House will be.

The GOP leader confirmed he's postponing key committee contests, delaying the conference's ability to prepare bills, call hearings or even pay staff.
POLITICOI forgot to mention that consistently student evals of my research methods class blast the class/me for their having to learn statistics. This fall, a student eval stated that the student was lied to about the class and how much he hated math.

Best comment: “not enough West Wing references” in my presidency class. For the record, I have never watched a single episode and never plan to at this point, so I take this as a compliment.
Worst comment: “this class would have been much better in person” to my online research methods course, a class that I also do teach in person.
I’m glad my university is moving away from counting these for RTP purposes

I'll say this again...Trump hiding classified documents in storage facility is very Lucile Bluth

House committee asks National Archives to review Trump storage unit
Rep. Carol Maloney says the storage facility and other properties “may contain presidential records that were not the focus of the search and therefore have not been turned over to the federal government."
