Am I reading this right that there are no recounts allowed in Mississippi? If so, I'd much rather be Colom.

I made some plots to help visualize why coalition formation in Israel is so difficult right now We are witnessing an extremely rare situation that political scientists call a "Condorcet cycle" - a demonstration of Arrow's impossibility theorem in the wild!

Think the @HaleyforMI @AbdulElSayed saga is totally bonkers? The data agrees with you. It’s also a part of a wider trend - the left’s donors don’t hold grudges. The establishment’s do

It has been my highest honor to serve America and the Great State of Montana. We have secured critical funding for Montana bridges, roads, sewer systems, water infrastructure, public access points, conservation projects, and helped thousands of Montanans successfully navigate through the federal bureaucracy to solve real problems that matter to the people that I am honored to represent.  Service is a duty that I will always hold sacred, and I am grateful for the opportunity to make a difference. As for my service and duty going forward, I have made the decision to leave office at the end of my fourth term and not seek re-election. Full statement below.
