Absolutely insane that Cape Verde — a country of 500,000 — played Spain, Uruguay and Argentina…and lost to none of them in regulation. Easily one of the greatest performances in World Cup history.

"You cannot just read that Constitution. You must perceive it, specifically the ethereal version manifesting as a constantly shifting cloud above the right wing of the Court, where original meaning rearranges itself around political need." In other words, the attitudinal model!

This is excellent life advice.

Some great ideas on how to use the 250th in your classes.

In 1939, Eleanor Roosevelt famously resigned from DAR when it barred singer Marian Anderson, an African American woman, from performing at its Constitution Hall in Washington, DC. www.archives.gov/exhibits/ame...

One of the strangest things about contemporary politics is that many people who support authoritarian politicians seem at least as unhappy about the state of their country as the people who oppose those politicians, and sometimes they appear even more unhappy than their opponents. What gives?

My kids are auditioning for Les Mis today and I have had Empty Chairs at Empty Tables stuck in my head for days.

No legislative veto. Hampered oversight. No agencies outside of presidential control. No attempt to meaningfully enforce the power of the purse statutes. This is the Court’s doing.

I will once again remind folks that a very sizable chunk of what looks like Congress not doing anything to push back against the president is in fact a consequence of the Court disabling/destroying all the ways Congress has tried to push back.

‼️The CEU is set to become a two-campus university again, HUN media reports. While Vienna will remain its main campus, degree-granting programs are expected to return to Budapest once the necessary approvals are completed. A step toward restoring the university's academic presence in Hungary! 2/1

These are the actions of an authoritarian regime, where their agents come to intimidate you if you share public information about how they have killed American citizens

And the final case, 6-3 (usual split) - SCOTUS says immigration officers can deny admission to lawful permanent residents *without having clear & convincing evidence that the LPR committed a crime that renders them inadmissible* www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/25p...

The UK should just be like f*ck it and make Larry the Cat the Prime Minister

What a dumb time to be alive. The whole article is just absurd.

The vast, vast majority of unis are, like mine, teaching-first institutions. Maybe we stop attacking & start funding them? Could we try that instead?

Book vending machine! Best idea ever.

Buried lede here on trust in <checks notes> universities relative to <checks notes again> every other societal institution. Seems like a problem for The Narrative™️ that cannot fail (it can only be failed).

Yes! Every piece of available data shows that, at least in the United States, there is an explosion of antisemitic attitudes among Gen Z specifically. Not mentioning that in a piece on the growing use of an antisemitic term among young people is editorial malpractice. bsky.app/profile/danw...

Cannot about imagine how this preposterously offensive piece got published www.nytimes.com/2026/06/18/m...

"During his time here Brunson displayed advanced skills for his age, including one of his trademark moves....he was 8 years old." I love local newspapers and you should all subscribe to yours. @joshuadarr.bsky.social @sgadarian.bsky.social 🎁🔗

Oh, absolutely. FWIW, our party-by-gender split on "country would be better with return to 1950s gender roles": GOP men: 65% GOP women: 55% Indie men: 38% Indie women: 28% Dem men: 14% Dem women: 13%

Per @tressiemcphd.bsky.social this is gold: 1. Polling we did in ME shows same. Data centers are underwater in every subgroup we poll in. 2. Local organizing as party building LFG 3. Please grad students this is a great area for a dissertation.

CNN repeated a question from a 1997 Washington Post-Kaiser Family Foundation-Harvard poll about returning to 1950s gender roles. Fascinating results, discuss -> www.cnn.com/2026/06/17/p...

We are constantly told that foreigners are violent criminals and fraudsters, and that America’s Democrat-run cities are terrifying hellscapes. World Cup is shattering those myths. My new piece: open.substack.com/pub/goodpoli...

I saw a TikTok this morning where a person in marketing said she was frustrated because she just spent the day looking at decks from 7 different companies and they were all identical and clearly made by Claude. When everyone uses AI to make keynotes, powerpoints, books, everything becomes the same.

It's clearly not "peace" It's not even clear it's a "deal" The only thing we know for certain is that it is inferior to both the JCPOA & the status quo ante & that it was a wildly illegal: bsky.app/profile/mcop... Don't. Print. Lies. In. The. Newspapers.

Journalists have a duty to tell the public that the president and his aides are seriously considering suspending habeas corpus *when it is happening* rather than saving it for a book rollout over a year later

Russell Vought’s grant proposal would give political appointees unprecedented influence over our federal research funding, threatening the independence of American science. That’s why we’re fighting back. Visit the link in our bio to take action, or go here: Article: zurl.co/AyP3y

I've seen a lot of info for specialized audiences (e.g. scientists, non-profits) on how to comment on the proposed OMB rule change for grants, but less for the general public. So I made this one-pager that can be shared more widely. docs.google.com/document/d/e...

So many sequins! Got to sing Sweet Caroline at the end. Bam bam bam!

Thrilled to be included in the special issue of @milbankfund.bsky.social on “What Can State Policymakers Do to Meet the Challenges” of Disease Burden and Life Expectancy in the states. My thoughts on rural health policy are here: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

In our Elements we demonstrate using survey experiments and observational data from five countries that democratic backsliding is rarely, if ever, ethnically neutral, and that citizens are much more open to tolerating anti-democratic actions against ethnic minorities.

Writers are getting kind of heavy handed this season with metaphors.

From now on I refuse to support any sports team that doesn't have a duck that wears their home jersey. Or maybe from now on I will only support sports teams that have ducks that wear their home jersey. Either way, more ducks in jerseys please.

👇🎯💯 Total 🦗 every day. University presidents, with ~3-5 exceptions, have been totally absent from the public square. An almost unparalleled failure of institutional leadership in the face of an existential assault on the entire funding structure & model of 🇺🇸 higher ed. bsky.app/profile/mcop...

Now an even easier resource to point to than the papers. Names are compound treatments, so choose wisely.

👀 "more black voters (41 percent) now identify the Supreme Court as the top threat to their community than the Trump presidency (39 percent). In June 2024, just 26 percent said the Court was the top threat." The word is getting out re John Roberts MAGA #SCOTUS.

If you haven't posted a comment, now is the time. If not, you are enabling the destruction of science in America

APSA friends, I was a little behind on booking hotels for the conference this year and there's not a lot left for Saturday night. Just a small nudge to book your rooms if you haven't already.
