When Political Pivots Shift Behaviors but Not Beliefs: Evidence from Trump’s Position Reversal over Facemasks during the COVID-19 Crisis - Bartholomew A. Konechni, 2026 Political leaders play a potentially important role shaping behaviors and beliefs during crises. In the pandemic, a number of high-status politicians, notably l...

What happens when politicians pivot during a crisis?

I examine Trump’s July 2020 mask pivot. It increased Republican mask use, closing 40% of the partisan gap.

But paradoxically, beliefs about masks' efficacy didn’t change.

Yes, one that works.
Yes, also on your phone.
No, we didn’t do it ourselves. We called Max from Goodaim (en.goodaim.de). He speaks both design and durkheim.

Contrary to popular belief, what is important in science is as much its spirit as its product: it is as much the openmindedness, the primacy of criticism, the submission to the unforeseen, however upsetting, as the result, however new that may be. – Francois Jacob

I’ve long used FiveThirtyEight’s interactive “Hack Your Way To Scientific Glory” to illustrate the idea of p-hacking when I teach statistics. But ABC/Disney killed the site earlier this month :(

So I made my own with #rstats and Observable and #QuartoPub ! stats.andrewheiss.com/hack-your-way/

Why Poor American Kids Are So Likely to Become Poor Adults Most scholarship on the subject focuses on conditions during childhood. But government support during adulthood plays the biggest role.

Child poverty in the U.S. is four times as likely to lead to adult poverty than in Denmark and Germany, and twice as likely than in the UK and Australia. Why? I write about our findings on "the intergenerational persistence of poverty" today in The Atlantic:
