Are you a recently departed or soon-to-depart fed? Make your voice heard by taking the Federal Employee Exit Survey! Participation is voluntary, and responses are confidential. Access the survey here:

Researchers want to hear from people who have left federal service in the past year. The Federal Employee Exit Survey is nonpartisan, academic, IRB-approved, confidential, and takes about 20 minutes. If that is you, or you know someone, please share: pitt.co1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_...

Now cue the chorus of "shut up and dribble" comments. Ahem... I said, cue the chorus of "shut up and dribble" comments. I SAID... share.google/SUsOCVrK0enD...

Why it matters! “How do natural disasters reshape government budgets, debt, and public finance systems? New research from GSU scholars analyzes evidence from 43 studies and 1,438 effect-size estimates to uncover the fiscal impacts of disasters worldwide.” @billresh.bsky.social

@billresh.bsky.social Congratulations to Dr. Can Chen, who was selected as a recipient of Georgia State University’s 2025-2026 Outstanding Tenure-Track Faculty Achievement Award!

"Autocrats learn from one another and build on each other’s legacies. If Turkey were to turn into a democratic lost cause, the result will not be confined [to there]: It will feed an accelerating cycle of authoritarian imitation, further shrinking rights and freedoms across the region and beyond."

King Charles' to Congress: “Magna Carta is cited in at least 160 Supreme Court cases since 1789, not least as the foundation of the principle that executive power is subject to checks and balances.” It's pretty telling when the KING OF FUCKING ENGLAND needs to remind our legislature of this.

A truly wacko revisionist pseudohistory being espoused by the longest serving justice in the current SCOTUS. He is a walking, talking indictment of the court's integrity. youtube.com/watch?v=1i2V...

We’re proud to celebrate Rory Renzy on accepting a tenure-track position in the Department of Political Science and Public Administration at the University of North Florida. This is an incredible achievement and a testament to Rory’s hard work, scholarship, and dedication. @billresh.bsky.social

This Artemis voyage has so cool to follow. The astronauts must be honored to be regarded in the same way as Katy Perry and other such pioneers.

New in @govjournal.bsky.social How Trump repurposed exec tools for personalist consolidation: gut agency capacity where it benefits elite allies, expand state power where it energizes base. Congress, courts, and new personnel systems like Schedule P/C are now aligned to lock it in. Free access:

I'm proud to announce that the Accountability and Reform Research Consortium (ARRC) has awarded its inaugural round of research stipends, funded through @volckeralliance.bsky.social with support from the Henry Luce Foundation Inc and ARRC's Founding Member Schools. (...)

NASA might have been the coolest organization on planet earth — a real life/larger than life organization that the smartest people in the world respected, kids dreamed their whole life of working for, & even Hollywood couldn’t make larger than it already was. So of course Trump ruined it in a year.

Authoritarian regimes are targeting exiles and diaspora communities in more places than ever before. Activists, journalists, and regular people living abroad must watch their backs, because these governments now have the power to suppress dissent even outside their borders.

Join the Nonprofit Leadership Alliance – GSU Chapter for Paths into Purpose, a conversation with Ben Spears on career transitions, local advocacy, international work, and nonprofit leadership. Wednesday, March 11th from 3PM-4PM at 55 Park Place, Room 701 @billresh.bsky.social

@gsupmap.bsky.social's Ross Rubenstein on why Georgia state tax cuts will likely leave schools and communities holding the bag.

A year ago we were supposed to be getting $2,000 rebate checks, DOGE was going to find $2 trillion in waste to balance the budget, we were going to pay no income taxes because tariffs would pay for everything, gas and home electric bills would be cut in half, and no new wars.

@billresh.bsky.social Thrilled to share that Dr. Can Chen’s article, “Advancing Social Equity in Public Budgeting: The Role of Minority Political Representation in Local Government"

Would just remind folks that a GSA employee named Jeff Neely went to federal prison for throwing lavish parties during a 2010 government conference, then claiming it was all business. He was sentenced to 90 days. You can absolutely imprison dipshits for flamboyantly wasting taxpayer dollars.

competition in the right-wing-agitprop-pretending-to-be-real-news sector is heating up!

"You don’t need to agree with Dario Amodei on whether we are about to see the rapid deployment of 'countries of geniuses in a datacenter' to worry about what an untrammeled Hegsethian wannabe-Department-of-War might try to do with this technology..."

No. This is the foreign-policy equivalent of bad jazz, not free jazz. My ESL wife has a saying: "don't bad jazz me," meaning "don't put bullshit noise in my ears." That's what this is.

Netanyahu to the U.S. Congress, 2002: "If you take out Saddam, Saddam's regime, I guarantee you that it will have enormous positive reverberations on the region."

you can have a dinner that celebrates the First Amendment or a dinner that features Donald Trump but you cannot have both

Peace is war. War is peace.

I’m excited to share a new call for research on the structural and societal impacts of federal workforce changes. We’re looking for work that examines what happens downstream when administrative capacity shifts, including effects on service delivery, communities, and institutional resilience.

@billresh.bsky.social Thrilled to share that Dr. Can Chen has been awarded a Samuels Public Affairs Fellowship—supporting research that bridges disciplines and drives real-world impact.

Big congratulations to Minji Hong! We are so proud to celebrate this incredible achievement and can’t wait to see all that she accomplishes in this next chapter. #AcademicSuccess #PublicFinance #HigherEd #GeorgiaState #AndrewYoungSchool @billresh.bsky.social

I wrote about something I've been thinking about for a long time. A kind of post-ironic collapse in our politics and culture where nihilism has become the lingua franca of the internet and beyond. It links Kirk, Clavicular, Epstein, memestock/coin stuff, mass shooters. I hope you'll read it.

Trump nominated a legit white nationalist to a top post at the State Department. I asked him some basic questions about his belief in the “erasure of white culture”. Watch this embarrassing, fumbling answer. Like he has never before been asked to explain his views.

And if you're wondering why it is that it's so easy for the federal government to control where a habeas petition is filed simply by moving a detainee around after their arrest, allow me to introduce you to #SCOTUS's (5-4) 2004 ruling in the Jose Padilla case: tile.loc.gov/storage-serv...
