🧵 Postdoc opportunity at McGill
I am recruiting a top postdoctoral researcher to join my lab at McGill through the Canada Impact+ Research Training Awards Initiative. This is a rare, well-funded opportunity to build an ambitious, multimodal EdTech research program in Canada.

“MAGA without Trump would be like the tea party.”
An anthropologist says that’s why the Epstein files matter so much to MAGA — they sit at the intersection of anti-elite conspiracy theories, Christian morality politics and deep loyalty to Trump.

Why MAGA is so concerned with Epstein − and why the files are unlikely to dent loyalty to Trump
President Donald Trump’s base has supported him through countless controversies. But they split from him over the release of the Epstein files. Why does MAGA care so much about this issue?

Trump voters still reliably back the president, believing that most of the criticism of him is fake news.
