Hi! So *professional news* alert: I am excited to say that I've accepted a position in AP's Rhode Island buro. I am going to miss Tennessee terribly (a truly beautiful, newsy state), but a chance to help cover New England has been a dream for so long.

Someone give me coat recs!

Tim Burchett gives Andy Biggs — who declined to vote when his name was first called — a big thumbs up. Then he goes in for the fist-bump.

And then, about 30 seconds later, Burchett votes for Mike Johnson.

Sort of a perfect metaphor for Tim Burchett.

TN Sen. Ken Yager's BAC was 0.14, according to the incident report. He told troopers he had been in a crash but "thought everyone was fine, that he spoke with the other driver, and decided to leave not knowing the police were in (sic) route."
