One step closer to creating a Christian socialist party in America.

Seeing this in a one possession game with seconds left in overtime in a win or go home game is truly impressive in the worst way.

Fact (hard to call it fun): The last time the Rules Committee reported a rule allowing any floor amendments was 22 January.

I’m on it

I have managed to spill coffee on myself three days in a row. The academic hat trick!

Ever wonder if political elites’ beliefs about climate change are partisan? If so have I got a new article for you!

Elites believe climate science more than voters, but there’s still a partisan divide.

Ah. So this is the type of day we’re having. Good to know.

Congratulations to my fellow UAB alum Yaxel Lendeborg and the rest of this Michigan basketball team. Most importantly, thank you for helping me win my bracket pool.

This is a pretty spectacular typo. I actually had to pause and think about whether or not it was a typo at first though.

A bar graph showing that the published height of hundreds of MLB batters shrank by an inch or more when the league mandated precise measurements for use with an automated strike zone.

It turns out men lie about their height. Who knew?

No cover just yet, but still excited to see the pre-order up for my next book!

(archive document) Memorandum of Disapproval I have today vetoed H.R. 11897, a bill which would name the United States Courthouse and Federal Office Building in Grand Rapids, Michigan, the "President Gerald R. Ford Federal Office Building." Although I appreciate the honor expressed by the Congress in enacting this legislation, I intend to continue the policy of past Administrations that the executive branch not endorse the naming of Federal office buildings. Generally, the executive branch has deferred to the desires of the Congress on such matters. Although several Federal office buildings have been named for incumbent members of the Congress, I know of none that have been named for a President while still in office. I consider it improper for me as an incumbent President to approve legislation which places my name on a Federal building. This is a precedent I do not wish to establish. In general, I feel this way: office buildings which house the functions of Government should not be used as monuments to Federal officials, but rather as workshops for the people's business. In particular, I would hope our Presidents will be remembered for their labors in building better Government rather than for their efforts in constructing public works projects to themselves.

Gerald Ford vetoed naming a post office after himself.

Thank you!

Thank you!
