Companies are hiring many more internal policy specialists than lobbyists; it is a much larger investment in politics and internal expertise

I will be at UChicago, Northwestern, & Lake Forest briefly this week. And for the first trip since 2019, I'll be returning to Missouri this weekend (including seeing Mizzou-Bama & Chiefs-Lions). Hope to catch up with many folks soon.

There is increasing political polarization in colleges' student bodies. Both liberal & conservative students prefer institutions with more like-minded peers and are willing to pay thousands of dollars more to avoid students from the other side

The "We Must Do Something. This Is Something" shutdown still seems unlikely to gain anything that wasn't winnable before. But it also seems unlikely to do any electoral damage. Public & market reaction is extremely limited. Still depends on how Dem base responds to end.

New paper with @hjghassell.bsky.social and @michaelheseltine.bsky.social out in @bjpols.bsky.social.

We develop measures of voter perceptions of candidate ideology and candidate messaging ideology and find that perception's are related to what candidates say www.cambridge.org/core/journal...
Plot showing perception of voter ideology of candidates overtime. It is separated by House and Senate. Republicans are drifting slightly to be more conservative, Democrats are mostly staying in one place. Plot showing messaging ideology of candidates overtime. It is separated by House and Senate. There is increasing separation between parties over time, with Republicans becoming messaging more moderately during the Trump era and then shifting to the right during Biden.

The last time I posted the income relationship to presidential vote among White respondents to the @electionstudies.bsky.social ANES, people asked for additional estimates among all voters.

Updated estimates here:

Most graphs of the fertility rate depict the 'period fertility rate', which is based on a single year's data and doesn't necessarily reflect how many children women actually have across their lifetimes.

I've used data from the Human Fertility Database to show the cumulative number instead:
Cohort fertility rates for the United States, by age 40, 45 and 50.

spending has long more closely matched presidential budget requests than provided for in enacted appropriations, driven by presidents spending less than Congress
appropriates 1970s-era reforms did not eliminate these deviations.

The Trump admin is only making one pocket rescission request, focused on foreign aid? What about the other unspent $, like at NIH & NSF? Is it going to be spent on something by this month? Is there another impoundment path they are trying?
