ICYMI yesterday, a quick guide to sorting through the deluge of midterm polling to find data that can actually tell you something:

Love how this dude discovered the cheat codes of "what if I listened to constituents" and "what if I modeled good behavior" and "maybe I behave like a normal person should." These are apparently dark secrets that have been hidden from other politicians.

Printing this out and putting flyers up around the office “Reply-All Emergency Response 101 🚨”

Massive “reply all” email chaos happening at work rn We need to include response trainings for this alongside tornado drills and fire drills imo
