Are you an early career researcher in Public Policy or Public Administration? Do you like cinnamon rolls, a good work-life balanance (considering it is academia...!) and "probably the best beer in the word"? Be my new colleague (tenure track) @PolsciCph

Lieber Herr #Lindner. "#Gratismentalität" ist, wenn ich noch nie Kirchensteuer bezahlt habe, mich aber in einer von Kirchenmitgliedern finanzierten Kirche publicity-wirksam trauen lasse. Mit vielen Grüßen, ein zahlendes Kirchenmitglied.

Leadership candidates of the @Conservatives: an almost perfect variety of socio-demographic characteristics (“descriptive representation”), yet quite a narrow range of policy positions (“substantive representation”). Whoever thinks the former determines the latter: think again!

BO ROTHSTEIN with some scaring observations about Europe and the future of US democracy https://t.co/dYKvbwFqXv

What Putin has achieved so far: (1) revitalizing NATO, (2) US refocus on European security, (3) forcing EU, US to show solidarity with 🇺🇦 and to unite on sanctions, (4) reviving debates on 🇫🇮 🇸🇪 NATO membership, (5) SPD starts to distance itself from gaz lobbyist G.S.
