I highly recommend revisiting Erica Frantz's excellent interview with @ezrakleinbot.bsky.social that goes into a lot of detail about how Trump is personalizing decisionmaking at the top www.nytimes.com/2025/01/10/o...

The workshop had been held for more than 2 decades (pioneered by @sbmitche.bsky.social and Kelly Kadera). In 2024, we received NSF funding to hold four future workshops at Iowa, UW-Madison, and USCD (with Christina Schneider). www.saramitchell.org/journeys.html
