Dan, I wanted to thank you for an excellent event, and for graciously sticking around to shake hands / briefly chat with us. Thank you for all the amazing podcasts over the years (going back to when I actually had them on a device with pod in the name).

Can't wait for Alexander part 3!

🚨 New publication! 🚨

With Kirill Zhirkov, we test whether using term “illegal” vs. “undocumented” shifts immigration opinion.

In Research & Politics, we find no causal effect -- but preferred terms still reflect underlying ideology.

Did we finally reach the line that the New York Post does not want to cross?

Unfortunate to not include the upcoming health policy dreadful duo.

How do we get a disconnect like this? Theory: financial media spent a year and a half beating the drum of a recession that never came, skewing perception of the economy for voters?

There needs to be a Louvre of political tweets, and this one would now be the Mona Lisa

So the VA HoD control is going to come down to the part of Goochland County where I start my daily commute?
