Also: a plug for going to the business meetings and receptions at APSA. That's where the idea for this book came together. You can meet amazing people and future collaborators at these events. If you'll be at @apsa.bsky.social be sure to come to say hi at the S&P and Caucus meetings, and reception!

Thank you to all the amazing folks who made this happen: my co-editors RG and @erinadam0.bsky.social, all the amazing contributors, and the folks at @sunypress.bsky.social. This took a LOT longer to bring into the world than I thought it would. But, it's here!

In this piece I attempt to show how bringing the narrative policy framework to study stories told in the courts would give us a fuller understanding of the role of stories in public policy. Since the courts are policymakers, we should not ignore them when thinking about policy stories.

I am no constitutional scholar, but I can't help but feel that "the President gets to dictate what every university can teach and what every television station should broadcast" is closer to what the founding fathers were worried about when it comes to free speech than trigger warnings on syllabi.

Trump has settled on the perfect way to end the Epstein scandal: have Merrick Garland pretend to investigate it.

So excited to have this wonderful collection out with a chapter of mine! It’s on why I started doing more school centric material and some of the history and whatnot. the rest of the collection is fantastic. I think only @efkjr.bsky.social is on Bluesky for me to thank.

Submitted page proofs today! This article started as a comment I left myself on a different project asking if I should expand on a point. I decided I needed to expand. And then that turned into a separate 4000 word article. So I think I was right. I did need to expand a bit.

Zohran Mamdani’s Lesson for the Left The New York City mayoral primary showcased a better kind of politics than progressives are used to.

This is framed as "lessons for the left," but Lander and Mamdani actually offer lessons for the center: Instead of ruthlessly undermining leftist candidates, emphasize shared values and refuse to amplify right-wing attacks.
