Adding this incredible chart from @DKThomp to the mix. There has been an enormous decline in in-person socialization that has corresponded with massive declines in mental wellbeing and dramatic increases in selfishness and political radicalism over the past decade.
@curcuas @SashaGusevPosts @Aintropy @_alice_evans We’ve seen:. 1) a dramatic short term increase in diagnosed mental illness and N-linked psychometric items first among teenagers and then among young adults.2) highly cohort specific bipartisan support for cold blooded murder mediated by (1).3) A sudden and dramatic shift in

The mayor race on Tuesday saw massive turnout differentials - turnout in @ZohranKMamdani’s strongest precincts was up ~30% while turnout in Cuomo’s best districts were ~ flat. These are big differences - essentially two different elections that happened to fall on the same day.

New Pew study validating our earlier work showing that naturalized citizens of all races swung by double digits toward Trump in 2024, with Trump putting up higher numbers with immigrants than any Republican in decades.
Pew validates another finding that has been floating around in various forms (including analysis by @davidshor) -- a large, disproportionate shift towards Trump in 2024 among naturalized immigrants. Here quantified at +17R (vs the +5R shift among US-born citizens).

Great to see @Nate_Cohn's meta-analysis of six post-election studies confirming our work, all showing that Trump would have done better if everyone had voted. Way too many Democrats have been in denial about this!
Excited to join @ezraklein to talk through what happened in 2024. There's a turnout story this cycle, but not the one we're used to talking about. With less-engaged and less-likely voters becoming more Republican, a larger turnout meant a more GOP electorate.

Traditionally there's been a quant/qual split on ad length in Democratic politics, with [usually more moderate] quants pushing for shorter 15 second ads and [usually more progressive] qual folks pushing for 60 second ads. Great to see @ZohranKMamdani sided with the nerds!
@ksusys @bhtyson @mattyglesias @cwarshaw Yes - treatment effects are generally proportional to log of length but cost is mostly linear except on the very low end (precisely because of the log). You see this in industry where most of the action has moved to 15 second and even six second ads as measurement has improved.
