One of the most important skills I see in successful (and good) people is to constantly reevaluate assumptions. They make predictions based on various inputs, some of them unknown, and reevaluate based on what they got right and wrong. They trust people not because they're always right--no one is--but because if you're constantly seeking the truth it's easy to identify those who are doing the same.
If you were confident that Donald J. Trump was going to lose, maybe you should question what else you "know" about him. Maybe the people who misled you about his electoral chances have misled you about other things.
In the words of Cormac McCarthy, "If the rule you followed brought you to this, of what use was the rule?"
I have an idea. Instead of doom-scrolling today, pass this on to someone who might want to work @policingproject - we are hiring a lawyer for our legislative team to help secure public safety for all. Help us out here!

This is the beginning of a long war, the southern suburb is home to around 1 million people not all of them are Hezbollah. This isn’t an attack on Hezbollah rather on Lebanon, and it’s obvious that the number of people killed will be higher than any other attack. Israel asked for a war, this is a fact.
By (admittedly) lying about imaginary threats that immigrants pose to Springfield, Trump and his supporters have instead exposed the town to the very real threat of right-wing terrorism. Consequences of reducing everyone and everything to crass politics.
Two of our elementary schools were just evacuated due to threats.
Both of our colleges have gone virtual this week due to threats.
The city just canceled our annual CultureFest because of threats.
None of this was happening before Trump and Vance opened their mouths.
Thrilled to share that my latest article, "Red Juries & Blue Juries," is forthcoming in @ArizStLJ and is now available for download on @SSRN.

ICYMI, here's the testimony I'll be delivering tomorrow at the Committee on House Administration on the topic of "Congress in a Post-Chevron world". Abstract below, link to full testimony. https://t.co/19PYL0Mn4F
I need people to remember that a black man won the popular vote twice and a woman won the popular vote once but lost bc (among other things) of electoral college/bad strategy. Do not let people say this country won’t vote for a woman. The majority of voters literally did lol.
Super cool opinion out of the #ThirdCircuit today: whether #NCAA#studentathletes are employees of their schools and NCAA for the purposes of FLSA is to be answered under common law agency principles. https://t.co/p4ZQJSZy7d

Supreme Court Justice John Roberts in the "Chevron" decision: "Perhaps most fundamentally, Chevron’s presumption is misguided because agencies have no special competence in resolving statutory ambiguities. Courts do."

There's been a lot of chatter these past few days about history and tradition in U.S. constitutional interpretation. My forthcoming book, now available for pre-order, explores these themes in depth. https://t.co/omLatErmlo
