Republican Sen. Ben Sasse has officially resigned from the Senate as he heads into his new role as president of the University of Florida.
Americans are one of a kind. You can come from anywhere in the world and be one with us, wild and wonderful and unlike any other country the world has ever known, we are equally characterized by a spirit of association and a spirit of enterprise. Americans have the audacity to be optimistic even when things are the bleakest. We're brash and loud and reckless, kind of insane, to be honest, but there's a special vigor. We're the kind of people you want with you when things go sideways.
"When we're being honest with each other, which usually means when on one of the very rare occasions where cameras aren't present, we all know that a big chunk of the performative yelling that happens here and in every hearing room is just about being booked for even more performative yelling at night on TV," Sasse added.
