We need to dispel the notion that there is some conflict between getting a liberal arts education and getting a job. Nothing prepares students better for an ever-changing economy that the liberal arts.

First in Vermont. Third in the nation. Zippia rankings show Castleton University is an excellent investment when it comes to finding a job after college. https://t.co/nAopj8O21f

I was looking for #UConn as the correct answer:
@UConnWBB @UConnMBB
I guess it's become so common for UConn to dominate that it's taken for granted.

The wrestling program at Castleton (@CastletonSports) is still relatively new and hugely successful. Kudos to these student athletes and to Coach Legacy, an apt name for a man creating a legacy at Castleton.

This is a reasonable measure of how Americans perceive other nations' opinions of us, but it should not be confused as a measure of how the rest of the world actually perceives the US.

[Opinion Today @OpinionToday]

Only about one-quarter of Americans, 27%, think the U.S. is as respected throughout the world as it was three years ago, while 67% say it is not.

From our latest survey: roughly 9 in 10 Americans think that, if reelected, Trump would try to detain and deport millions of undocumented immigrants. https://t.co/c8OxCRWn9O

[Rich Clark @VTpollster]

One argument against allowing states to leave Trump off the ballot is that it requires Congressional action.
But doesn't the prohibition on bills of attainder prevent Congress from deciding Trump is an insurrectionist?

[Rich Clark @VTpollster]

I don't think we should read into these numbers to find whether voters prefer Trump to Biden, or vise versa, but we can see where Biden has lost the most support.

@katiedimartin So refreshing to see someone on social media (1) admit a mistake and (2) learn from it. I take two lessons from this, since I wasn't aware of afropessimism.

Who thinks that they would have been cool with Jefferson Davis running for president in 1868?

[Rich Clark @VTpollster]

Now imagine that our state leaders believed that all Vermonters who wanted to pursue a college degree should be able to do so without crushing debt.

[Rich Clark @VTpollster]

And imagine if a college education was widely perceived as affordable for Vermont working class families.

@thevpo1 Isn't it possible that the causation arrow could go the other direction ... Dems appear with @GovPhilScott because he is popular.

@JamesHu29812484 And of course, this plays out again in the electoral college, effecting representation in both of the elective branches. And this determines who is nominated and confirmed for the judiciary.
