So excited that our paper is out!

Excited that our paper is out!

Donald Trump fell asleep during a Cabinet meeting, raising new questions about Joe Biden's health.

Anyone planning on filing for the Anthropic lawsuit? I saw one of my books in the database list and not sure what to do.

Serious question: would scholars be willing to pay a submission fee to fund payment to reviewers? I'm genuinely curious what people think.

“Housing shortage – Jews to blame," letter sticker, German Reich, 1938 zwangsraeume.berlin/en/context

Three of my neighbors were forcibly illegally detained over night by masked ICE agents who refused to show ID, my youngest kid died of measles, and I can’t afford to feed the other two, but at least I sleep easy at night knowing the damn Jew at the bagel shop has to say “Merry Christmas” this year.

The East Wing has learned its lesson. by Susan Collins

This Is It Top Gun Trump thought Kenny Loggins would say "I'm alright" having "Danger Zone" playing in a video where he turns a peaceful protest into Pooh Corner. That's what a fool believes, Donald. Kenny may have a footloose, but he doesn't have a screw loose. by Maureen Dowd

Just taped a great conversation -- it is available at the link below, both next week on October 28th, and as a on-demand recording a few days after if you can't make that time. Belief, Misinformation, and Democracy url:https://www.92ny.org/event/belief-misinformation-and-democracy

A defining feature of this admin is attacking as antisemitic everything they don’t like while constantly engaging in rank antisemitism.

Great news. Proud to be part of the MIT community today. www.bostonglobe.com/2025/10/10/b...

I can’t believe how depressing it is to watch Trump crush norms, and institutions and to wonder if people are noticing.

Anytime I give a talk I always tell my audience “you are weird because you came to hear me talk about politics.” Most of the people, most of the time, don’t pay attention to politics.

Thanks to @jakemgrumbach.bsky.social for bringing up this paper. Politicians gain power by reputation. Sometimes undeserved reputation

Charlie Kirk’s killing has proved that Bari Weiss was right all along. by Bari Weiss

Huh an awful lot of rhetoric shifted from Old Testament to New Testament over the past few hours

I'm extremely excited to participate in this (virtual) conversation about my book, with fellow Umich polisci alum Yanna Krupnikov! Belief, Misinformation, and Democracy url:https://www.92ny.org/event/belief-misinformation-and-democracy

I don't know why I keep reaching in my mind for this analogy but American political culture feels to me right now like what Moses found when he returned from Mt Sinai and everyone had said "screw it" and started worshipping the golden calf.

Information about an exciting conference coming this December at MIT!

Excited to announce the program of our December 5-6, 2025 workshop at MIT on polarization, norms & trust (co-organized w/ Eugen Dimant @ylelkes.bsky.social @adamberinsky.bsky.social @katikish.bsky.social)! Info: sites.google.com/view/polariz... To attend: buy.stripe.com/dRmdRa7Du1fw...

On Capitol Hill, I joined Sen. Bill Nelson @gretchentg.bsky.social @adamconner.bsky.social @cdelawalla.bsky.social to sound the alarm about the systematic dismantling of the US research infrastructure. The question isn't whether we can afford to invest in research. It's whether we can afford not to.

"In the letter, the signatories warned that National Science Foundation grants now underwent a 'covert and ideologically driven secondary review process'...” www.nytimes.com/2025/07/22/s...

Revising my survey and experiments grad course and looking for examples of papers that do a good job of (really) integrating observational and experimental data. Suggestions? Self-reference welcome.

We're hiring at MIT: details at the link below

Any Psychology Editors out there willing to have a discussion about COIs for coauthors on large multi-author studies? DM me.

it is no exaggeration at all to say that these are people who would rather destroy the state's flagship public university than education a diverse cross-section of the commonwealth's students

It's not a flipping "dispute." It's an illegal and extortionary attack by an authoritarian government. It's like negotiating down the terms of a mugging. Explore this gift article from The New York Times. You can read it for free without a subscription. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/20/u...

@dreiter.bsky.social and I have thought about AI a lot in taking over AJPS and have been talking to other polisci journal editors. This is our first stab at a policy. I'm curious if scholars and editors from outside of political science have thoughts as well.

We have been discussing amongst ourselves how AJPS should handle the issue of artificial intelligence (AI) in the creation and review of journal submissions. These are important issues we feel we must address. Read the AJPS AI Policy for authors and reviewers here: ajps.org/2025/06/17/a...

🚨 Call for Abstracts! I'm excited to announce the 2nd workshop on Directions of Polarization, Social Norms, and Trust in Societies @ MIT on Dec 5-6 Keynotes from @bgoldberg.bsky.social & @adamberinsky.bsky.social 🗓️ Deadline to submit: July 14, 2025 🔗 sites.google.com/view/polariz...

AJPS has for decades been recognized as one of the top two or three journals in all of political science. The central goal of the new editorial team is to maintain and, if possible, further strengthen this reputation. Read about the Editorial Principles at AJPS here: ajps.org/2025/06/05/e...

AJPS announces a slightly revised policy for manuscript submissions. The page limit on supplemental materials has been increased to 25 pages, and we are also now permitting the submission of pre-registered analysis plans (PAPs). Read more: ajps.org/2025/06/11/u...

Just occurred to me that part of why Trump decided he wanted to incite chaos in LA is because he lives in an eternal early 1990s

must be incredibly frustrating and disheartening to have federal funding that was promised to you for important work suddenly and arbitrarily ripped away

Elon Musk has questioned whether Donald Trump was replaced with a body double, days after Trump reposted that Biden had been assassinated in 2020 and replaced with multiple clones. Our critic asks: Are body double clone conspiracies having a moment?
