I haven’t mentioned this in any of my RNC commentary yet, but… there has been NO MENTION of the HIGHLY IMPEACHABLE OFFENSES committed by PRESIDENT JOE BIDEN as outlined in the PENDING ARTICLES OF IMPEACHMENT and investigated by MULTIPLE CONGRESSIONAL COMMITTEES

Chevron says--quite reasonably!--that when an agency has a cross-cutting grant of lawmaking authority in its enabling legislation, it gets to use that to clear up statutory gaps and ambiguities because that is (duh) basic to implementation of the statute.

Today would be a good day to read @daschloz.bsky.social & @samrosenfeld.bsky.social’s new book, “The Hollow Parties,” on how the evolution of internal organization weakened both formal parties to their own detriment, leaving the Democratic organization ineffectual & the GOP ripe for extremists

I think it is legitimately difficult for a human being — even a professional news anchor or political opponent — to keep all of the individually disqualifying things Trump did during his first term straight
Trump accusing President Biden of a quid pro quo in Ukraine when THAT’S LITERALLY THE THING THAT HE DID AND WAS IMPEACHED FOR AND NOBODY SAID ANYTHING ABOUT THAT I AM GOING TO HAVE A FUCKING STROKE.

The infrastructure for collecting, reporting, and tracking crime data in the United States is rather scandalously limited and rickety. This is an important report on the way forward to improve it. counciloncj.foleon.com/crime-trends...

Very thoughtful review of The Hollow Parties by @johnsides.bsky.social, filled with keen callbacks and connections drawn across the book's narrative. For example: democracyjournal.org/magazine/73/...

The Impact of Policy Misinformation The public makes false assumptions about current policy, driving their views of policy proposals. Lots of odd ideas about the national debt, Social Security New #ScienceOfPolitics podcast/interview with Emily Thorson: www.niskanencenter.org/the-impact-o...
The impact of policy misinformation - Niskanen Centerwww.niskanencenter.org We have overestimated the influence of partisan misinformation during political campaigns. But that doesn't mean we're well-informed.

Before passing away in January, my dad worked in his hospital bed on the copy edits to his new book. (Never too late to show up his sons on the research productivity front.) That book, a short introduction to U.S. crime trends, is now out and available FOR FREE: www.cambridge.org/core/element...

Wesleyan, Brown, Smith...there are institutions that are managing this moment without riot police and we need to be asking why/how and making sure our own administrations know that these options are out there.

Steve Tamari is my colleague in the SIUE History Department and a friend. Steve is a devoted, caring teacher, a family man in his 60s, and someone who has always advocated for students, especially international students. He was hospitalized from this attack. I hope for Steve's swift recovery.
Another professor, Steve Tamari at Washington University, assaulted by police for recording images of the protest. Reportedly hospitalized with broken bones. Beginning to suspect this is not about campus safety. Video: x.com/prem_thakker...

We talked with Politico's Ian Ward about party dysfunction in red and blue, the 1970s as a historical hinge point, and the case for party renewal in an age of hollowed and unloved parties. www.politico.com/news/magazin...

Remembering that time there was a massive police overreaction to protesting students and then there was an ugly DNC in Chicago and then a very accomplished but unpopular Democratic administration lost narrowly in November to a candidate with weak commitments to democratic norms oh never mind

An odd problem for Democrats that goes back decades has been the public's basic incredulity that various explicit Republican policy positions are actually real. Trump '24 is really testing the boundaries of this dynamic. The man is not obfuscating! time.com/6972021/dona...

Super-stoked to see this book by @daschloz.bsky.social and @samrosenfeld.bsky.social in print. This is a really, really important argument. Unexpected bonus: a chapter on Reconstruction!
