I just love this! 🥰 Thank you @jayapal.house.gov for taking everyone along when you made these calls.
One of my favorite parts of my job is getting to call people with good news! It was such a privilege to talk to the young people that I am nominating for our country’s military academies.
Here’s some joy as we head into the holidays!

As a professor I have only given exams that required blue books. I have always used them because I need to see what my students know, and blue books are the best way I know to assess that.
Does anyone else bristle at this framing? WSJ says blue books are “torturing” students with hand cramps, and “nobody likes them.”
Listen, students have been outsourcing everything to AI and cheating their way through college. Blue books should be celebrated as a return to authentic human learning.

Cheating with ChatGPT has become a huge problem for colleges. The solution is painfully old-school.

The FBI Director lied to Congress by stating there were no co-conspirators working with Epstein to sex-traffic little girls. In the latest drop of Epstein files, the FBI states there were 10 co-conspirators. One of them could very well have been Trump it looks like. Trump's BFF was Epstein FFS!!

Great. Next time I come across a Clinton rally, someone wearing a Clinton hat, or flying a Clinton flag on their truck, I’ll be sure to let them know.
The rest of us want them ALL held accountable because we aren’t in a cult. Hope that helps.
