1/🧵 "More voters help Republicans" is reshaping Dem strategy after 2024. We put this claim to the test with a deep dive into voter files and survey data. Results? Non-voters remain disproportionately Democratic while GOP simply turns out their base better.

Cory Booker has officially taken over the Senate floor for over 20 hours to call out Trump’s assault on the Constitution.

And is still going.

Republicans are a party, Democrats are a coalition.
The Democratic Party’s problems are not about being moderate or left. That’s a consultant and pundit red herring

The problems are in party organization, the culture of “it’s their turn” nominations, candidate recruitment, gerontocracy, inability to shape media topics, and coming off hella lame

It seems I messed up by creating a new Substack for each new week. Now the three weeks are consolidated under adamprzeworski.substack.com/p/diary Everyone who subscribed to Week 1 can access it; others will have to subscribe. I will update it once a week for as long as I can bear it.
Diary
I decided to keep a record of my thoughts as events transpire, a diary.

A fundamental problem is the Democrats are utterly committed to the fallacy that public opinion polls are politics. This has destroyed their ability to actually do politics. 1/
The Democratic Party has no idea how angry its base is. Lead, right now, or get out of the way.

I have several papers that explore tariff wars using economic models. Here’s what they tell us about likely outcomes (🧵)

TLDR: All countries ultimately lose. While the overall impact isn’t catastrophic for larger economies like the US, it’ll be devastating for small countries.

Fantastic post!
My favorite way to procrastinate is to read self-help blogs for PhD students, so I guess this is the product of the year:

It's application season and sometimes fear of rejections can keep us from applying to the places and programs we most wish to be studying at.

In my experience, self-doubt is especially wide-spread amongst women in academia.

To understand the widespread latent hostility toward American health insurance companies, read this.
Storytime.

In 2005, my mom died from cancer, but the real cause was the actions taken by an insurance company 12 years earlier. What happened to her was evil, hard to identify or fight, and hidden from the public by legal mechanisms. Because of that, I have no idea how often it has happened.
