Überraschend, dass das ZDF-Politbarometer diese Umfrage so verzerrt darstellt: Statt nach der Originalaussage von Merz zu fragen, die tagelang diskutiert wurde, wird in der Umfrage seine späte Rechtfertigung ergänzt. In der Grafik wird das aber gar nicht erwähnt. So geht Framing.

Happy German Unity Day! Excited to start my Marie-Sklodowska Curie Fellowship at @maastrichtu.bsky.social this week on how German bureaucrats 👨‍💼👩‍💼dealt with corporate interest groups during the remaking of the East German economy following fall of the Berlin 🧱.

I got introduced to @randyau.com's 'Data Cleaning IS Analysis, Not Grunt Work' post during the #dataBS Conf this week: www.counting-stuff.com/data-cleanin... . I just finished--it was a great read.

Here are some quotes and thoughts I'm walking away with 👇

Type approval for passenger cars Trade deal could open European roads to US trucks.
Tesla Cybertruck or the Ram, huge US pick-up trucks do not meet European standards. But in the new trade agreement, the EU has declared itself willing to allow unrestricted imports.

Just ashamed of European academic institutions reacting to the authoritarian clampdown against our US colleagues with "look, we have nice jobs here". Do you think this is the kind of solidarity needed from us? What are you actually doing to strengthen academic freedom and to help those affected?

Deutschland hat gewählt, und die AfD gilt als die große Siegerin. Wie lässt sich ihr Ergebnis einordnen, und welche geografischen Merkmale prägen ihre Unterstützung? @hudde.bsky.social und ich haben das AfD-Zweitstimmenergebnis in den 299 Bundestagswahlkreisen ausgewertet. Ein Thread. 🧵👇

Zwei Fragen stehen aktuell im Zentrum der Debatte:
Kann Europa die Ukraine aus eigener Kraft unterstützen, wenn die USA ausfallen?
Kann sich Europa aus eigener Kraft, also ohne die USA, verteidigen und Russland glaubhaft abschrecken?
Die Antwort ist zweimal ja. Warum?

The DOGE firings have nothing to do with “efficiency” or “cutting waste.” They’re a direct push to weaken federal agencies perceived as liberal. This was evident from the start, and now the data confirms it: targeted agencies overwhelmingly those seen as more left-leaning. 🧵⬇️
Scatterplot titled “Empirical Evidence of Ideological Targeting in Federal Layoffs: Agencies seen as liberal are significantly more likely to face DOGE layoffs.” • The x-axis represents Perceived Ideological Leaning of federal agencies, ranging from -2 (Most Liberal) to +2 (Most Conservative), based on survey responses from over 1,500 federal executives. • The y-axis shows Agency Size (Number of Staff) on a logarithmic scale from 1,000 to 1,000,000. Each point represents a federal agency: • Red dots indicate agencies that experienced DOGE layoffs. • Gray dots indicate agencies with no layoffs. Key Observations: • Liberal-leaning agencies (left side of the plot) are disproportionately represented among red dots, indicating higher layoff rates. • Notable targeted agencies include: • HHS (Health & Human Services) • EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) • NIH (National Institutes of Health) • CFPB (Consumer Financial Protection Bureau) • Dept. of Education • USAID (U.S. Agency for International Development) • The National Nuclear Security Administration (DOE), despite its conservative leaning (+1 on the scale), is an exception among targeted agencies. • A notable outlier: the Department of Veterans Affairs (moderately conservative) also faced layoffs despite its size. Takeaway: The figure visually demonstrates that DOGE layoffs disproportionately targeted liberal-leaning agencies, supporting claims of ideological bias. The pattern reveals that layoffs were not driven by agency size or budget alone but were strongly associated with perceived ideology. Source: Richardson, Clinton, & Lewis (2018).

just saying: it's possible that "I'm gonna dramatically constrict my state capacity while plotting dramatic imperial expansion, and expanding my set of internal enemies while alienating most of my foreign allies" is the beginning of a world-historical masterstroke. but also possible that it isn't

R Tip: Embrace the modern lambda syntax `\(x)` for anonymous functions! 🚀 The old `~ .` syntax is deprecated and maintained only for backward compatibility. Using `\(x) x^2` in `purrr::map()` makes your code clearer and more intuitive. Happy coding! 🎉 #RStats #DataScience
