Three books that heavily influenced my understanding of politics at a young age. What other texts would you recommend students read that are kind of outside of the usual suspects?

One of the many reasons that this would be a political earthquake. *Particularly* after all the juice the GOP has had to put into this race. One week away.
maybe this will turn out to be a damp squib but literally everyone involved is approaching it as a close race.
most interesting thing about this imo is that the R candidate is above water on favorability

Off-year elections shouldn't be thought of as predictions of midterms *because things can change a lot in a year.* What they are useful for is a reality check for the other evidence of what's happening now, and the results were consistent with the polls and with the huge protests.
What sort of midterms do the Democrats' New Jersey and Virginia midterms point to? I had a look using historic results and wound up with a central estimate of D+6 and a confidence interval from R+5 to D+16. Not exactly conclusive! owenwinter.co.uk/2025/11/10/d...

* You know how Van Halen had a contract rider demanding bowls of M&Ms with the brown ones removed?
They later claimed that was all a test to make sure venues were reading their contracts. Clever!
BUT WAIT, that claim itself is actually false. I fact-checked it.

Quite a tell about the quality of the work often done by these consulting firms. If their work is interchangeable with LLM slop, it means their human-authored reports are also slop (at least at times). Governments and higher ed admins, take notice!
This is the 2nd time a major government report from Deloitte has been found to contain errors likely generated by AI.
First in Australia and now, as The Independent has confirmed, in a major healthcare policy paper for the Government of Newfoundland and Labrador #nlpoli #AI #deloitte
