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
So, uh, like Joe Biden?
I'm a bit of a broken record on this, but usurping the power of the purse isn't just one constitutional violation among all the many others. It is, uniquely and singularly, the death of constitutional government altogether. Game over, end of story, you now live in an autocracy.
You should have just given Crypto indirectly to the DNC, obviously.
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.
Dems should pledge to sign and ratify the ICC treaty that Clinton signed but W (smartly for his ppl) refused to push thru.
Make it clear we will arrest these ppl… and ship them someplace no future vice-signaling GOP Pres’s pardon power can reach.
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.
Existence of a Peaceful Monopoly of Violence
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.
Plurality?
The CNN domino falls, and the media landscape is getting very competitive authoritarian-y… www.nytimes.com/2026/02/26/b...

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.

Again, I'll bang the lonely 🥁 that, whatever faults you have with Joe Biden as a person or his policy positions on ____, Actual Joe Biden was FAR & AWAY the most progressive president of your & my lifetime, with the slimmest Congressional majorities ever, & it wasn't close:
