Looking forward to tonight's America's Town Hall from the @constitutionctr.bsky.social. I'm sure I'll be picking up a copy of Dana Bash's book, America's Deadliest Election, this weekend when I visit our local bookstore. #NCCed #EduSky constitutioncenter.org/calendar/dan...

Started off my new semester classes of #troyapgov with some classic #OTWV questions.

I was shocked and appalled today when I referenced Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby today in class (Peak early 2000s cinema) and virtually none of my students had seen this masterpiece. With only 98 days to cover the entire AP Gov curriculum, we’ve go to go fast.

Thinking of making my final exams worth 11% as a tribute to Spinal Tap. It's a very inside joke, but I think it's funny. #EduSky
