- Do citizens want to address unfair burden-sharing in public goods? New research out in ISQ @isq-jrnl.bsky.social with @drewstommes.bsky.social addresses this question by highlighting the unequal socioeconomic costs of US wars academic.oup.com/isq/article/...
- Using formal theory, a survey experiment, & text analysis, we find: • People prefer “direct corrections” - policies that address the disparity itself • “Indirect corrections” that compensate burdened groups get less support • Fairness matters more than social identity in shaping preferences
- This research has been a long time coming, and we would like to acknowledge the support of several people who have helped throughout the process, including Alex Coppock, Greg Huber, Ebonya Washington, Jonathan Caverley, and Kyle Peyton, among many others

- The EPA (like most Federal agencies) is facing alarming “institutional erosion”, maybe worse than the chaos of the 1980s. And this quote gets to the real point.

- This is the article by Lisa Friedman, whose reporting I have draw on extensively in my work on the EPA and institutional disruption
- Trump’s firing of key officials and the gutting of agencies is more than headlines—it’s reshaping American government capacity with long-term effects on political stability and policy. My @thejop.bsky.social article explores how “institutional disruption” impacts government performance over time 🧵
- Government workers respond to disruptive leadership in three ways: 1️⃣ Resistance: Sticking to the agency’s mission 2️⃣ Temporary Reversals: A weakened commitment to mission, but agencies can recover 3️⃣ Erosion: Abandoning the mission entirely and missions may take years to recover
