Who else thinks Jimmy Kimmel, Stephen Colbert and others should broadcast from Canada?

Ethics, values and trust might seem old fashioned in a Trumpian world. A new issue of Politics and Governance edited by Cristine de Clercy and Susan Dieleman on Ethics, Democracy & Political Leadership explores multiple examples. www.cogitatiopress.compoliticsandgovernance/issue/view/425

I’m delighted to share that I’ve been awarded a one-year scholarship at the @balsillieschool.bsky.social under the Technology and Governance Initiative!

If trends continue, we could get the first Fox talking head as Supreme Court justice

About time.

On Friday, April 4th, Leiden University is hosting the symposium "A political attack on academic freedom in the US" You can learn more and register for this event via their website: www.staff.universiteitleiden.nl/events/2025/...

Sounds familiar.

Would not be surprised if other US.-based financial services for Europeans follow suit, if the trend grows.

Spot on analysis. Europe’s greatest obstacle to defending itself is…itself. Unwilling to rise above nationalism, fragmentation and over-reliance on the US.

Every time a US politician says 51st state, ask how their home state is doing. It’s probably pretty awful. #Canada #Canadastrong

What I should have done in the beginning - here's a starter pack of 20-odd experts who journalists or others might want to read/talk to to understand the gutting of the administrative state (as opposed to broad decline of democracy etc). I've focused on academics go.bsky.app/MaC7vnv

In preview of my Monday morning piece, I'm going to say a little bit about why this is so concerning. This is not some "economy" thing. Its first & foremost the possibility that our legal order is modified so the law of the land is defined by Elon Musk at Treasury www.nytimes.com/2025/02/01/u...

Is the European Central Bank losing its independence by getting too political? Our new open access highlights how the ECB’s increasing involvement in crises and political issues has led to debates about its legitimacy and the need for stronger accountability. Issue: shortt.link/pag386bsky

Fancy that. (The rejoin movement will one day be led by Tories “in the national interest”. Just give it time. I can see the slogans. "Sovereignty does not preclude partnership.” “Europe has understood how much they need us.”)

New Gender Update out in @ejpgjournal.bsky.social. With data from the new wave of the EES, I show a strong increase in support for the far right among young voters.

Manufacturing is a war now

The #U.S. unveiled new restrictions on #China’s access to vital components for #chips and #AI, escalating a campaign to contain Beijing’s technological ambitions but stopping short of earlier proposals that would have sanctioned more key Chinese firms. Mutual #weaponization of #interdependence

Timely joining bsky on the date "Bringing War Back In" was published worldwide with Cambridge UP. Check it out if you are interested in how war makes states also in its aftermath, and how the wars of a distant past explain the variation of state capacity within Latin America until today.

I'm excited to see this new collaboration published! We show how online networks share knowledge and information to collect, process and interpret open-source intelligence data based on radio intercepts available at the University of Twente's Web-based Software-Defined Radio. #OSINT #intelligence

Farmers are protesting in Westminster, what might the political consequences be? Our research on farmer protests in 🇳🇱 provides some clues. osf.io/preprints/os... Bottom line: due to popularity of farmers + media bias, this likely creates major political headache for Starmer government. 🧵

Bob Lighthizer may be back as US Trade Rep., although the job could still end up going to someone like his former Chief of Staff Jamieson Greer: "Donald Trump asks arch protectionist Robert Lighthizer to run US trade policy"

The Chips and Science Act is good in the long term, but shorter-term macroeconomic fiscal policies will be required to convince undecided voters for Democrats.

Good luck. Putin wants all of his former Warsaw Pact territory back, and Trump will let him attack.

That feeling when you’ve handed in your book manuscript. Priceless.

I also think they're missing that this is clear signalling. He got away with claiming "Russia are you listening" was a joke. NYT should not do him that favor again, not as he orders GOP in Congress to give Putin Ukraine. www.emptywheel.net/2024/02/12/c...
