Welcome to this edition of the Copper Dome Chronicle, sponsored by Advocatus USA. We strive for substantive writing with brevity, inspired by the book Smart Brevity.
This post will preview the month of November 2026. Any meetings or relevant activities by the General Assembly will be chronicled on this page, which will be updated as needed. The second regular session of the 126th General Assembly adjourned May 14, but a special session began on May 15 and will conclude on November 8. Thanks for reading and sharing; we welcome your feedback and commentary!
