it’s been abysmal for a while. Made a book publisher pay for a second round of copy editing after they induced weird errors (of the type you both describe) in the page proofs.

The copyeditor's decision to list Washington University in St. Louis as being in Seattle, WA, does not give me confidence.

If you are trying to make sense of American politics today, you should come to this very timely talk with Danny Schlozman and Sam Rosenfeld on Feb 6.

Their book is a penetrating look at the dysfunction of American political parties and how it came to be. wc.wustl.edu/rsvp-februar...

72% of Americans in all oppose unchecked presidential power, but Republican support for unilateral action has hit an all-time high. A political scientist explains how shifting public opinion shapes executive authority: buff.ly/hThJ7a0

Trump treats laws as obstacles, not limits − and the only real check on his rule-breaking can come from political pressure
The most meaningful check on presidential power in the Trump era will be political. That’s because courts rely on the broader political system for enforcement.

Federal judge in Boston says Trump Admin. violated his order barring deportations without adequate notice. Here's ‪@ajreeves.bsky.social‬ on how legal limits alone can’t constrain a defiant president like Trump whose "pace & scale of defiance are w/o precedent" theconversation.com/trump-treats...

My new piece in @us.theconversation.com explores why legal limits alone can’t constrain a defiant president. When Trump treats laws as obstacles, the real check comes from political, not legal, pressure.

Deeply grateful for the opportunity to stand with fellow Penn professors from 4 departments to read the Declaration of Independence, The Bill of Rights, & select Federalist Papers yesterday to call us back to our founding ideals.

Grateful, too, to the DP for coverage: www.thedp.com/article/2025...

In case people are salivating over the idiotic tariff formula for research papers, @jakejares.bsky.social and I took advantage of another simplistic formula for the 2018 farm bailout: www.cambridge.org/core/journal...

It can be easy to forget, or look away from, the pain and disruption of the pandemic. The numbers will be there to remind us.
