Again, I view the classes actually what the intent is, how Washington works.
And my joke is doesn't work for everybody.
It's always working for somebody.
And yes, this year it's going to change and how it works.
And then I, you know, the assignment I do, I do this last time I offered a choice of books to read during the midterm that I think best.
And in fact, I posted some of those books, but I think that best sort of helped explain why we're in the political moment we're in.
So, you know, I've assigned the McKay Coppin's book on Romney.
And sort of that campaign from 2012 and sort of Romney's view of sort of how the party went from his wing of the party to the MAGA wing of the party.
I think it's an incredibly insightful book on that front.
The Wolves of K Street.
by Brody and Luke Mullins, their brothers, their investigative reporters.
I think it's currently the new best sort of guide to how lobbying in Washington works these days.
Where have all the Democrats gone, which is a Roy to share a book about sort of how the Democratic coalition shifted from the Obama era to what it is today.
All of it is designed so that I think these are books that best explain how we're in the situation that the current political electorate is in.
I do actually stay away from assigning books at how to, quote, make it better.
I want people to understand where we are.
And then their final exam is their way of making one thing work better.
If there's something in Washington that doesn't work right, how would you change it?
Is it through the power of Congress?
Is it through the power of the executive?
