If you know someone on the job market this year, UT-Chattanooga is hiring an assistant professor in public law. I’m not on the committee but happy to answer any questions. (And as a native Chattanoogan I’ll give you my totally unbiased takes on the city—ha!)

Update: We’re up to 75 members of Congress on Bluesky, including 17 Senators.
A few notable additions from the last few days:
- @repandrecarson.bsky.social
- @rep-rosa-delauro.bsky.social
- @pattymurray.bsky.social
That’s around 1/3 of Democrats in Congress. Good progress!

One thing I've noticed with most in the current generation of political reporters: they seem to have absolutely no comprehension of electoral environments. And thus every win or loss in their view can be traced to small, tactical campaign decisions. There's no systematic thinking in their analyses.
