This bill is do-or-die for California. Check to see if your state senator is one of the outstanding votes and urge them to do the right thing for the future of California and the country. If you're one of Wahab's constituents, call her office and tell her what an embarrassing dipshit she is.

LA buds, roughly speaking if you live east of Fairfax and north of the 10, you live in Sen. Durazo's district. Give her office a call at (916) 651-4026 and urge her to support SB 79. It will take 3 minutes and it's the most important thing you can do politically today.

IE people, if you live in Sen. Gomez Reyes' district, you should call her and urge her to support SB 79. She's at (916) 651-4029.

I'm thrilled to share that I'll be starting as an Assistant Professor at UC Riverside’s School of Public Policy in Fall 2025! I'm incredibly excited to join the faculty and start working with students there.

I’m adding a day on path dependence to my undergrad Intro to Policy Analysis class. Would love recommendations for favorite podcasts/news articles/etc that illustrate the concept!

Has anyone gotten the Novavax COVID shot and, if so, how did you react to it compared to other shots? Trying to figure out scheduling…

Guess I should post something here, so I’m linking my job market paper! I examine the effects of ideological polarization on local politics through the lens of police union endorsements. tinyurl.com/2s7kdpem
