Colorado State University is hiring two TT assistant professors in American politics this year. Links below. CSU is a great university, our department is wonderful, and Fort Collins is a beautiful place to live. I'm not on the committee, but I am happy to answer questions. Please reach out!

I don’t think there’s a single serious critic who says AI’s not useful? The concerns I see are about content rights, worker impacts, environmental effects, epistemological threats, or media manipulation. But that’s all predicated on the idea that it *does* work, often too well for people to manage…

Bonica, Rhee and Studen (2025) is an ambitious effort to assess the role of ideology on general election results. I’m excited to see such a serious large-scale project get attention in Edsall’s NYT column. 1/N

This whole thing is stupid, but I don't think there is enough focus on the absurdity of highlighting line items that represent fractions of a percent of a $40B budget.

Exciting News! I will start as an Assistant Professor at Colorado State University in Fall 2025. I am excited to join the political science department and work with the excellent students at CSU. To everyone who helped me along the way, this wouldn't be possible without you!

my long-running theory about the Musk twitter takeover was that he paid to buy the user base with the goal of turning the app into whatever he wanted/the everything app. the assumption of course is that the users wouldn't leave... but here we are.
