This essay best captures my experience on how context-aware AI like Claude Code/Codex adds value to my research. AI as a Research Collaborator, Not a Paper Mill modelinganunforeseeablefuture.substack.com/p/ai-as-a-re...

Donald Trump's job approval is 34 points lower than his 2024 vote margin among working-class Hispanics — and working-class whites now on net disapprove of how he's handling his job as president, per new Strength In Numbers/Verasight polling www.gelliottmorris.com/p/workers-tr...

Today in the NYT, I discuss some fresh research on which moderations move the most voters. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/16/o...

New short paper w @jkalla.bsky.social ! Candidates gain from moderation, but less than many theories expect. Many conclude voters must not care about issues. This is wrong. Small *average* effects mask large effects on specific issues & are consistent with widespread issue-based voting 🧵

The sky is not falling; high-quality platforms (Prolific, Verasight, CR Connect) have low rates of apparent bots. osf.io/preprints/ps... But also not zero; vigilance is very much needed!

Another cool data blitz from #SPSP political psych precon. People asume there are two large coalitions in the U.S.: liberals & conservatives. But, work by @isaiasghezae.bsky.social suggests there are instead 3: (1) conservatives, (2) ideological liberals, and (3) a liberal demographic group.
