as correct as michael is here this is the inverse of how it works in the world of elite commentary, where a willingness to entertain race science somehow makes you more credible for your "heterodoxy" (see: charles murray)

Recent orders from the Trump administration run a real risk of muzzling professors who wish to teach their students the truth about the country’s past, Phillip Atiba Solomon writes.

I, on the other hand, would prefer members of Congress to bellyache quite a bit about what they believe to be unconstitutional exercises of presidential power vis-a-vis the execution of Congress's spending decisions. www.notus.org/congress/tru...

As Dems reelect a spritely 74-year-old Chuck Schumer as Senate Leader, this is a reminder that U.S. politicians are the oldest of any democracy, despite the U.S. having one of the youngest populations.

now with page numbers! Stay tuned for a follow up with the 2024 CES, where I ask about state identity both before and after the election. doi.org/10.1017/spq....

polls missed big in 2016, but pollsters spent the past 8 years adapting to those misses and these adjustments worked pretty well in 2024. my new @goodauth.bsky.social piece with Caroline Soler goodauthority.org/news/pollste...

ICYMI, I talked about @cwolbrecht.bsky.social and David Campbell's forthcoming book, See Jane Run, which they wrote about in @goodauth.bsky.social a few months ago. I noticed their book now has a cover and can be preordered. Here's a link: press.uchicago.edu/ucp/books/bo...

I haven't come across one yet, so I ended up creating a political behavior starter pack. Let me know if you want to be added go.bsky.app/MUYzY5P

The share of Republicans who say that they’re worse off financially than they were a year ago is already down 15-points since the election.

(The one addendum I'd put on this is that the degree to which framing matters varies considerably by issue, and the mere presence of that volatility -- and how it manifests -- can itself say a lot about strength of opinion and how people are approaching the issue.)

Vincent Hutchings offered perspective on race & voting in today's @umisrcps.bsky.social post-election analysis. W/ 85% supporting Harris, the story of Black voters shifting toward Trump has been exaggerated. In fact, a key takeaway is how little the Black/White voter gap has changed since 1968.

Agreed, morning vibes. 💤

The starter pack I was searching for but couldn't find. Great for scholars, journalists, and anyone looking for research-based takes on current events. Please reply to this message or DM if you want me to add you, or anyone else, to the list 😊 go.bsky.app/315MyLR

Friends, the students in my public opinion class designed a fun little anonymous survey that we'd be grateful for you to take:
