Always thinking about the Maine Senate race, I see
Seems like someone with clearer principles wouldn't be so easily pushed in either direction
I’m curious where in Florida doesn’t have immigrants, or how she defines “near me”

Does anyone here know any historians or political scientists who study wartime propaganda? Bonus points if they specialize in the American context specifically, but not necessary
They get mad when people on SNAP want to buy soda
Survey 160 is hiring for multiple contract survey manager roles. This is a particularly good fit for PhD students who are looking for some experience in industry or for someone a few years out of undergrad with some experience in the survey industry already. Please reach out to me with any questions
I dunno man. Like, I remember this was a thing when I was in model UN in college (I ran a crisis committee scenario at one of the Model UN conferences we put on all about a closure of the Strait of Hormuz). This is definitely not a new idea ... and wasn't when I was in college (which was not recent)
Example of how question wording can distort inferences. Figure suggests conspiracists quite likely to endorse political violence.
Conspiracy is summed "Trues" to a set of specific conspiracy beliefs.

Another day, another Maryland driver blatantly running a red light at an intersection with two preschools
This site would be much better if no one quote tweeted anonymous accounts
Someone needs to start a Unitary Executive thread to monitor all of the cases of contradictory statements coming out of various departments of this government
I for one would like to know if my preferred coffee style, created in the 18th century and named after an order of monks, counts as fancy
None of those things require proof of citizenship, which is what the "SAVE America Act" requires.
As the saying goes, the enemy gets a vote.
I guess with Mattis no longer in the Trump orbit no one is around to remind them of that..
2) Better discovery features
1) Freemium monetization to support growth and reliability. Things like
- Ability to post longer video clips
- Advanced muting and blocking tools
- Scheduling tools
No one asked my opinion about what Bluesky should do next. But since this is the site for opinions no one asked for, here's my $0.02 ...
Caucusing with whom?
Seems notable that they need to create AI generated images (eagles cannot and do not soar under helicopter rotor wash) to introduce this
Conditionally accepted at the APSR (w/ @scottclifford.bsky.social & @patrickpliu.bsky.social):
Why does political information so often change beliefs but NOT attitudes? We highlight the role of belief relevance, or the extent to which beliefs bear on attitudes.

Tell me you're Gen X without saying you're Gen X
"Baby Bonus" Increasing the value of the child tax credit for children under the age of 3, and make it fully refundable
"Import Tax Control Act" requiring a congressional vote in 30 days to approve any new tariff imposed under existing law for it to continue.
I don't necessarily think this is a *bad* idea, but tinkering with the tax bracket is not a *big* idea. A big idea in the domain of taxation would need to have a new class of tax or tax credit. A few examples:
"Yacht Tax" on high cost luxury goods
"Compute" tax on data center electricity use

Interesting study on the (lack of) partisan motivated reasoning in reaction to "partygate" in the UK journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10....
