This is mostly meant as a way to communicate with my Intro to US Government students, but anyone interested is welcome to hop on.

@pblodlr Correction: The 84% figure is from 2018. But how do they get 30%? 84-65 is 19. They seem to want to push a "less opposition" narrative. And, in any case, 65% -- after a relentless campaign by the governor -- is still very strong opposition.

@mustangmek @robertlicuria @CalltoActivism Funny thing is, you've only posted the first page of the document, and it doesn't support your claim. And who, exactly, is this "we" you're referring to? Lake lost on five out of six claims, and the last one is hanging by a thread. Objectively, it looks like "we" are wrong.

@MollyJongFast Did you hear? It's Democrats doing this. Democrats. Unbelievable. Democrats.

[Steven Mazie @stevenmazie]

Justice Jackson's forceful refutation of the notion that the 14th amendment commands color-blindness in this morning's Voting Rights Act hearing. Three uninterrupted trancript pages.

@tribelaw Perhaps an honest originalist will help expose the hypocrisy of those who use originalism as a cloak for something much more sinister.

[Mark Kaswan @ProfKaswanUTRGV]

@tribelaw And we are surprised by this because...?

@RadioFreeTom I have a colleague who is a Freemason and is quite open about it, with Freemason symbols tattooed on his arms. The Freemasons really aren't so secretive anymore. And, BTW, someone should tell Tucker that many of the Founders were Freemasons.

[Dan Rather @DanRather]

This Texan takes note.

I worked on some of the underlying research for this report. Glad to see the results being distributed widely. @UTRGVPOLS

Even before the pandemic, many workers struggled to build wealth. #EmployeeOwnership may give them a chance to meaningfully participate in the success of the economy. https://t.co/MGsCVqD3AD @jennyweissbourd @conway_maureen @yooriechang @JosephBlasi @Zen_Trenholm

Can someone explain why it's 'Never Forget' for 9/11/01, but 'Nothing to See Here' for 1/6/21?🤷🏽

[MeidasTouch @MeidasTouch]

Breaking: Fox News has sent a letter demanding MeidasTouch take down the ‘Looting Loeffler’ ad because it includes Fox News’ report on Kelly Loeffler looting. Apparently Kelly is very upset by this ad. We will zealously defend our First Amendment Right!

@powellnyt Interesting story on race and the liberal coalition. But I'm tired of seeing stories about the Rio Grande Valley that quote political scientists outside of the RGV. UTRGV has one of the largest PoliSci depts in TX. We live and work here. We know the Valley. @UTRGVPOLS

[Nate Silver @NateSilver538]

Welp.

@Alyssa_Milano Per the US Senate, there is no such thing as an "impeachable offense."

@DongkyuKim7 MVEC is a member-owned cooperative. In other words, you're not just a customer, you're a co-owner. You should be able to raise this with the board.

[Mark Kaswan @ProfKaswanUTRGV]

@CraigSeverson2 @Alyssa_Milano For whom? Not for them, certainly. Most of these people endured extreme difficulties to get to the border, but they didn't just do it because they "wanted a better life." For many of them, it was a matter of survival. Send them home? You mean, send them to their deaths.
