Yeah. Just listened again. It's all pretty explicit. 😀

Fwiw, specifically about healthcare for illegals.

Can confirm. It's the most passive aggressive "out of office" message ever.

If you have to preface that you are not trolling....you are trolling. It's the new, "with all due respect," followed by being disrespectful. πŸ˜“

In 2024, the media played defense for Trump's denials of revolving door politics/connectedness to Project 2025. Turns my stomach on the regular.

In Office Hours. Made a meme explaining how I feel about some research I'm working on.

Does unitary executive theory actually matter? It's about politics more than it's about law.

I think EK is a boon for good. But I get irked by something I also find in myself. I think he has too much empathy for his guests. I've never seen them move greatly towards his point, only him softening and seeing their side of things. Often wondered how pundits change as they talk to each other.

1. We do not know the motive of the shooter. The man who shot at Trump was after attention.
2. The man who murdered MN legislators WAS motivated by politics, and I didn’t hear any Dems calling for reprisals against all Repubs.
3. It’s easy to start a cycle of violence. Not easy to end one.

If he was gonna do this anyway, it would have been romantic to end the filibuster with a proposal.

Amazing. Am I reading this right. Democrats' satisfaction with "how things are going" is basically just measurement error.

Trump's ham-handed voting restrictions are a poor solution to a manufactured and racialized issue of voter/election fraud. Receipts here, in paper form: link.springer.com/article/10.1...

Many thanks for the signal boost! Small world. Was literally listening to your interview with Perry Bacon Jr. just now. Good stuff.

Academia is great. I read a paper, edited a lecture, and ate my dog's leftover birthday cake for breakfast. Off to teach.

On Fertile Ground: How Racial Resentment Primes White Americans To Believe Fraud Accusations - Political Behavior White Americans face a democratic dilemma: remain committed to electoral democracy (which has been historically beneficial for them), or abandon it as non-White groups gain political stature. We argue...

Trump's city-crime narrative leans on encoded stereotypes of largely Black cities. OUT TODAY @polbehavior.bsky.social, @kevintmorris.bsky.social and I show Black cities were also the epicenter of the 2020 election fraud narrative. Republicans and Racially resentful Whites were most susceptible.

Anyone else using GroupMe for your classes? I'm a week in and it's already paying dividends by keeping my inbox cleaner and letting students chime in with helpful links and answering syllabus/reading questions. Also, my students voted on my office hours candy selection.

Swamped with first week of class things, but overwhelmingly glad Kevin and the Rush el al scholars have their eye on the ball regarding the on-going attacks on voting rights in America. Read, cite, and maybe even assign these papers in your seminars. Rigorous and important work!

Anime and Politics is a post tenure class I would legit teach. Half of One Piece is about revolution, liberty, and corrupt governments. The other half is punching.

I was thrown an additional prep this week (yay!?). Need newish book about organized interest in the U.S.? Could be on labor, business, think tanks, etc. Could have ramifications for elections, representation, inequality,etc. If it's been on any of the poli sci book podcasts all the better. Thanks!
