Fitzpatrick is super vulnerable and knows it. Bresnahan apparently remains unaware…
The 6 Rs who crossed the aisle to block Trump's Canada tariffs:
Thomas Massie
Don Bacon
Brian Fitzpatrick
Jeff Hurd
Kevin Kiley
Dan Newhouse
Jared Golden (D) voted with the Republicans to maintain them.

Incredible that this many Republicans are still backing Trump on this wildly unpopular policy.
They'll now have to do it again after Trump vetoes and an override vote is held.
Just generating mountains of votes for midterm ads.

She really just said why are you talking about the mass coverup of child rape when you should be talking about money
Bondi crashes out over Epstein: "The Dow is over 50,000 dollars! I don't know why you're laughing. You're a great stock trader as I hear, Raskin. The Dow is over 50,000 right now. The S&P at almost 7,000, and the Nasdaq smashing records. That's what we should be talking about."

"Warren stated that job outcomes were a 'key factor' in the decision-making process—within the previous decade, only a 'tiny percentage' of PhD students who graduated from the LCS program went on to receive tenure track at an R1 institution." An absurd metric & sign of the conservatism of higher ed.

How to Attend a Public Meeting
Highlighting the speaker who stood in front of the Surprise mayor and told him to consider what the Mayor of Ohrdruf must’ve thought before he died by suicide: “He might have thought ‘how is this my fault I had no jurisdiction over this’ maybe he said ‘this site was not subject to local zoning.’”

Teaching the Progressive Era today I said “I tend not to weigh in on current issues in class but I beg all of you to honor these reformers by only drinking pasteurized milk.”
New Mexico Department of Health investigators have been unable to detect the precise cause of the Listeria infection which killed the infant, but said unpasteurized milk the infant’s mother drank during pregnancy was the “most likely source.”
NM health officials warn against raw dairy products after infant death • Source New Mexico
State health officials are urging New Mexicans to avoid consuming raw dairy following the death of a newborn from a bacterial infection.

“Whatever may have been my political opinions before, I have but one sentiment now: that is, we have a government, and laws, and a flag, and they must all be sustained. There are but two parties now: traitors and patriots. And I want hereafter to be ranked with the latter.” - Ulysses S. Grant

I'm glad the author had this experience, and find it an interesting read...think mileage may vary semester to semester though!
