Does employees' political participation reflect their own views or their employer's influence — and is this tension particularly acute in a nascent industry like AI? A pleasure to speak with Brandon Pho and Kelly Waldron at Mission Local about this. missionlocal.org/2026/08/open...

OpenAI workers ditched their boss’ politics for Anthropic’s
OpenAI workers not only revealed a schism within one of SF’s frontier AI labs, they also aligned with their direct competitor Anthropic.

Super happy to see this paper finally formatted. While this paper might seem about political fundraising, it's really about the theory of *parties*: is it a broader network (UCLA school, i.e., Bawn et al. 2012) or elite/institutions-driven (re: Aldrich)? doi.org/10.1086/735435

Even though I have had to table my research on "scam PACs" for the past couple of years, I am honored but also saddened that it remains relevant today, as I was quoted in this latest piece on scammers soliciting pro-law enforcement campaign donors. www.levernews.com/are-pro-poli...

Are Pro-Police Scammers Campaigning For Your Cash?
Political action committees claiming to raise money for law enforcement are actually netting millions for an alleged fraud king, while Congress refuses to act.

Interest groups organizational maintenance has fallen by the wayside in the past few decades; we have a few articles by Walker and Rothenberg from the 1980s-1990s and then a big dropoff. Some enterprising grad students could make a name for themselves by reinvigorating this line of work.

Hi folks! Org Science will shut down submissions from 11:59PM EST Dec. 17 to Jan. 4. This will give a much-needed break to the INFORMS staff and to the volunteer editors and reviewers who put so much effort into the journal. Reviewers and editors should still be able to work, but no expectations!!!

I may be missing something obvious, but do we have a good formal model of preemption laws? Standard pivotal politics models do not seem to capture the one-upper-government-to-many-lower-governments dynamic, or differences in legislative priorities. #polisky

Relatedly, for talks by external speakers at your department, take notes for the speaker (esp. any questions or comments from the audience) and offer to share them with said speaker afterwards. A great way to both build rapport with outside scholars and get more out of attending talks.

Sarah Binder is THE person to read on congressional procedure. This is a great short piece explaining the rules and history of vacating the Speaker, which, in my mind, make the chances of a shutdown even lower than I previously thought. goodauthority.org/news/what-do...
