Something that's surprisingly useful is asking my students to draw their research papers. They make all sorts of interesting diagrams and some always say they find it clarifying in unexpected ways (realizing a side point is the main point kind of thing). Low tech, done in class, no outsourcing.

I will always put El Paso County and our country over party, because that’s what the job of a representative is. I’ll stand up to Trump and any party leader to lower costs and deliver real and meaningful results for our community.

We need to stop reaffirming that we don't expect Trump administration figures to face legal accountability for their misdeeds. Expectations produce reality. We need to start creating the expectation that they in fact will—indeed, must—face legal accountability.

I don't think there's a way to post really nasty and in my opinion unwarranted attacks on Jasmine Crockett without making it look like you're doing it for really bad reasons. She already endorsed Talarico way back when. She's not obligated to hold his hand all day everyday. You're not helping.

Senate Dems blocked 2 bills today. The Stop Insider Trading Act didn’t actually ban stock trading, & included a VOTER ID provision. The 2nd bill was toothless & optional. States could easily ignore locals’ need for data centers to pay their own energy costs & pass those costs on to residents.
