For GOVT 2302: News Sources

For 2302 classes, you'll note that I tend to pull information about the legislative, executive and judicial branches from three principle sources:

- Congressional Quarterly, for information about Congress.
- Ezra Klein's WonkBook, for information about the executive branch and public policy debates.
- ScotusBlog, for information about the Federal Courts, including the Supreme Court.

There are others also, you'll see them on the right hand side of this blog under news review, but these have become my go to sources for info on national governmental issues.

For Texas expect to see info from the following sources:

- Quorum Report -- click on Daily Buzz.
- The Houston and Texas Section in the Houston Chronicle.
