Two temporal networks of bill co-sponsorship tendencies among US Congresspeople, from 1973 (93rd Congress) to 2016 (114th Congress). Edges are signed, indicating the presence of a significant tendency to co-sponsor, or tendency to not co-sponsor, bills. Two networks per year, one for each chamber (House, Senate). Each file contains the signed network for a chamber of congress (H = House, S = Senate) in one session (e.g. 93 = 93rd…

Executive presence is not about how you stand or what you wear.
It comes from four qualities you build from the inside out: care, clarity, curiosity, and courage.
The leaders who inspire others stop performing and start living these qualities.
What would change if you focused on these instead of trying to project confidence?

Since the so-called ceasefire came into effect in Gaza on October 10,
Israel has been consolidating its control of over 50% of Gaza and

Through a combination of the construction of military infrastructure alongside the destruction of existing buildings,
Israel appears to be laying the groundwork to establish a permanent presence in the majority of the Gaza Strip.

VAR does its job, but I think its very presence allows the referee to underwhelm on the initial decision. He’s got cover, so why extend? It’s not supposed to be used in that manner, but I can understand why they do.
The natural question is if they are “clear and obvious errors”, how does an overturn affect PGMOL’s evaluation of a referees performance? I think it doesn’t, because PFMOL is corrupt and has no desire to improve. Just gaslight, baby. Gaslight.

"running a country" without a presence on the ground is pure fiction, more people should call out Trump on that aspect. He is not in control, he can't really steer events in Venezuela (yet). Also a blockade, verbal threats and some additional strikes won't do. Some military presence will be needed but will also be very unpopular in the US i think.
