In our survey from Feb: Among those with a view, 58% of Republicans say presidents should be able to enact policy without congress. Just 10% of Dems agree. (25% of all respondents neither agree nor disagree) Full breakdown + analysis in my piece @ConversationUS: theconversation.com/trump-treats...

Federal judge in Boston says Trump Admin. violated his order barring deportations without adequate notice. Here's ‪@ajreeves.bsky.social‬ on how legal limits alone can’t constrain a defiant president like Trump whose "pace & scale of defiance are w/o precedent" theconversation.com/trump-treats...
theconversation.com
Trump treats laws as obstacles, not limits − and the only real check on his rule-breaking can come from political pressure
The most meaningful check on presidential power in the Trump era will be political. That’s because courts rely on the broader political system for enforcement.

My new piece in @us.theconversation.com explores why legal limits alone can’t constrain a defiant president. When Trump treats laws as obstacles, the real check comes from political, not legal, pressure. theconversation.com/trump-treats...

New article! Rising seas, rising concerns: how climate change vulnerability shapes public opinion, by Tyler Reny, @ajreeves.bsky.social and Dino Christenson. doi.org/10.1080/0964...
ABSTRACT reads: Public opinion towards human-induced climate change is polarized along partisan lines. Indeed, scholars debate whether direct experiences with the consequences of climate change result in durable effects on opinions or behaviors. Our analysis of hundreds of thousands of survey respondents and nearly 30,000 precinct-level voting returns challenges this emerging consensus for one kind of climate change outcome: rising sea levels. We find that persistent vulnerability to rising sea levels is associated with opinions and behaviors about global warming. Coastal residents affected by sea-level rise are more likely to support climate mitigation policy. This association is strongest among those firmly attached to their communities, as opposed to those with the most to lose financially. We speculate that sea-level rise is exceptionally salient in the minds of those affected as an ever-present reminder of the inevitable toll of climate change.

Interesting study that draws contrasts with @ajreeves.bsky.social and I's work on taking/deflecting responsibility for governmental crises We found the public rewards accepting blame, while this @bjpols.bsky.social finds it punishes apologies for personal misdeeds www.cambridge.org/core/journal...

Are female politicians better advocates for their districts?
Research from the Department of Political Science at Washington University in St. Louis found that women in the U.S. House of Representatives are more likely to emphasize their home districts.

If you are trying to make sense of American politics today, you should come to this very timely talk with Danny Schlozman and Sam Rosenfeld on Feb 6. Their book is a penetrating look at the dysfunction of American political parties and how it came to be. wc.wustl.edu/rsvp-februar...

Definitely bad for accountability, but probably helpful to Republicans. My research with @stevenwwebster.bsky.social and @ajreeves.bsky.social finds white Americans decrease approval of Dem. presidents more than Rep. presidents when they are worried about crime. academic.oup.com/poq/article/...
