Funny story: 13 is the same number of service members who died in the pullout from Afghanistan, for which Biden received brutal bipartisan media coverage for months

Again, the platform must be institutional reform, & it needs to be immediately ready to go in Jan 2029. Popularism is a category error in the face of far right authoritarianism. The policies follow from restoring democracy & the rule of law & fixing the broken institutions, not the other way around.

Something we were never able to figure out just throwing causal forests at the problem was how to go from “here’s some effect heterogeneity” to actually valid statistical inference on some QOI and it turns out the answer is just do the logit.

The DML stuff makes the “magic” of flexible regression work but the real trick here is getting researchers to acknowledge they’re targeting some sort of structural model parameter

New reporting reveals Karoline Leavitt begged AFP and Getty to delete this picture of her from all photo libraries.

Looking forward to the part where he ignores the fact that the Pope hates him.

Oh. So they want Obama’s nuclear deal minus Obama’s signature. Got it.

Targeting civilian infrastructure is a war crime. The media should report that.

Like all the other things they bring up, shoveling snow in NYC is not covered in the 24th amendment, the right to vote without cost is.

Team USA needing other countries to bail them out because of an inexperienced manager who’s in over his head is a little bit too on the nose.

Got Theory? @scottfabramson.bsky.social, @emielawad.bsky.social, and @brentonkenkel.bsky.social developed a formal model of #anarchic #competition. Read their full article, “Designing Political Order,” and how their model changed the game in studies of political order: doi.org/10.1353/wp.2...

There is no data in this paper....it's a theoretical model.

The inaugural Research in Behavior and Institutions (RBI) conference was my kind of academic utopia: political science by day, fantasy baseball draft by night.

An ICE agent shot and killed Ruben Ray Martinez, a US citizen and San Antonio resident, in March 2025. Then ICE and the Texas Department of Public Safety covered it up. He was 23 years old. I am calling for a full investigation into this shooting, including why there was an 8-month cover up.

I saw a comedian say: after 10 months, he hasn't figured out what "tariffs" are. Bottom line: US tariffs are essentially sales taxes on lower-income and retired Americans. The explicit goal+mechanism of tariffs is to force those people to pay more for the same products. doi.org/10.1111/iere...

There goes Shohei Ohtani, the best that ever was.

I bet the ADL will find some new way to defend these literal Nazis.

Unfortunately, reality is only apparent *after* elections.

It's almost like I've been saying this for years...

This is the purposeful destruction of the American academy.

there’s a lot of talk about big tech and corporations but so many international academic colleagues are also on H1Bs. no university is going to pay 100k extra a year to keep them. if this holds, it would essentially mean the end of foreigners on tenure track jobs at US universities.

This really is the final expression of "libertarianism" as it is practiced in the US today.
