I said it would get worse very quickly. By tomorrow we will have completed the most dangerous & frightening 24 hours thus far of Trump 2.0. Just to name a few:
1. Defiance of a court order by sending migrants to Sudan without due process (despite clear DP decision SCOTUS) & Dist. CT. order.

Our article on Swiss municipality-level vote results has just been published in the @spsr.bsky.social!
We compiled results from 1866 to 1944 by visiting numerous archives and filled some gaps of the dataset for the period 1944-2025 from the Swiss Federal Statistical Office.

I'm reading a lot of hot takes about the German election. I agree that a lot of today's voting behavior in East Germany has to do with its historical legacy. But I'm surprised that no one has connected the dots between the huge flows of outmigration over the last 30 years and the electoral results.

New working paper: I show that LLMs can generate valid ideology scores for Heads of Governments across the world and over time. The measures display high correlations with existing indicators (e.g. V-DEM) and replicate established hypotheses (taxation, welfare state development, electoral systems).
