On this Good Friday, I'm thinking about the only art exhibit that has actually moved me to tears: Barnett Neuman's Stations of the Cross at the National Gallery. It was a very powerful experience. Something you really have to see in person to really understand. www.nga.gov/exhibitions/...

The @sltrib.com covered some of my research as it relates to Mormons' political leanings. "Lurch" isn't the word I would use (the drift has been pretty steady over the past 20 years), but headlines gonna headline www.sltrib.com/religion/202...

My work was featured in Tom Edsall's latest column (gift link): www.nytimes.com/2026/03/31/o... You can find the original report here: yougov.com/en-us/articl...

The Desert News picked up a nugget from my report on partisan trends over the past 20 years. Mormons have been moving away from the Republican Party at a pretty steady pace: www.deseret.com/politics/202...

We had a decent showing at the Windsor, Colorado No Kings rally.

This is a really interesting read (tangentially, it's still kind of wild to me that we now have ~20-year longitudinal trends that are entirely online-mode; relevant here in that how hard you push indies to lean can matter, so it's nice to have apples-to-apples data)

there's a new report out from YouGov using CES data to plot trends in partisanship over the past two decades. i've got a piece up today in @goodauth.bsky.social summarizing some key findings. check out both! GA piece: goodauthority.org/news/long-st... YouGov report: yougov.com/en-us/articl...

Two decades of partisanship in the Cooperative Election Study: Over the past 20 years, the share of Americans who identify with or lean toward the Democratic Party has decreased at a steady pace. (@bradjones.bsky.social, YouGov) More, via Opinion Today: opiniontoday.substack.com/p/260325-top...

For the methods needs out there, my report documenting 20 years of partisan trends in the US includes a lengthy (and I hope not overly defensive) comparison to probability based estimates of some of the same quantities. docs.google.com/document/d/1...

My report on changing partisanship looks also at religious tradition. As with most other analytic lenses you can apply to this data, the trend is away from the Democratic Party over the past 20 years. Two exceptions: Mormons and atheists. yougov.com/en-us/articl...

In my new report on partisanship, I show movement away from the Democratic Party across a broad range of demographic groups. Looking back at the ANES, this is just the most recent piece of a *much* longer trend. yougov.com/en-us/articl...

Very cool new interactive and data visualizations up by Pew Research Center on how Americans spend their time and how that differs by gender: www.pewresearch.org/social-trend...

The new V-Dem report was released today. There are dramatic declines in democracy in the US. Much worse than during Trump I.

This video is *bananas*—you can estimate π from a ton of random coin flips bc the expected prop of heads/total after 50%+ of the flips are heads = π/4 Here's an #rstats version I made of Matt's Python code in the video gist.github.com/andrewheiss/... With 10 million random flips I got 3.131381

Every now and then, it's worth reminding yourself that every single crisis of Trump 2.0 -- the economic downturn, the chaos in our cities, the rising health crisis, the foreign wars -- has been a direct result of their own actions. If they'd done nothing at all, they'd be coasting comfortably.

THREAD: I’m going to share this thread here to clearly state my perspective on electric vehicles, car dependency and better cities, for all those who frequently ask me about it, including media, elected leaders and many others. Here goes. Please share it frequently if you think it will help. 🧵#EVS

I recently had the opportunity to dig up this chart from an old Pew report: www.pewresearch.org/politics/201... In my years at Pew, this was the most striking image that I had a part in producing. The graphic takes a little explaining, but the payoff is worth it. (1/

For a while longer you can get 39 Discworld books on Humble Bundle www.humblebundle.com/books/terry-...

The @ifbookspod.bsky.social series on this book was a masterpiece open.spotify.com/episode/1YsX...

I just finished @add-hawk.bsky.social 's very insightful book on games and life and yo-yoing(?). It defies easy categorization... but it nicely captures some things I've been thinking about for years. Highly recommend!

My wife and I just finished @nphstuff.bsky.social 's excellent Box One. A thing that was obviously designed and produced with love. If you like puzzles, get yourself a copy of this lovely box.

The political science research on VID laws is clear 1.) It doesn't stop fraud, because fraud is non-existent. 2.) It does decrease turnout by 1-2%, but not in a way that advantages Rs. 3.) Much of research on VID was done before Trump, who wins low propensity voters.

Of all the small human joys that are spoiled by AI, casting doubt on cute animal videos ranks high on my list

Post a tree you've photographed

In-person voter fraud is vanishingly rare (and in almost all cases involves good-faith misunderstandings of the law). If you are going to rig an election, you don't do it by trying to orchestrate a massive, coordinated conspiracy involving tens of thousands of individuals.
