New open access study, now up at @PNASNexus.
A consistent expectation of civilian review boards is that they increase public perceptions of police legitimacy. In a pre-registered experiment, we find quite the opposite. Institutional conflict and preferences for outcomes over process means that in most cases, involving a CRB leads to decreases in perceptions of legitimacy.
Complex topic and excited to have this one out in the world.

One thing about being a new(ish) Assistant Professor they don't tell you about is how much of your time is spent telling undergraduates that you also don't know where the room they are seeking is located.

Analysts suggest that Harris' choice of Walz as her running mate could help her attract white moderate voters & hold key battleground states in the Upper Midwest. But what's the empirical evidence on the influence of VP candidates in presidential elections?
A thread🧵.

You, normal: Wow, Tim Walz! He seems nice.
Me, a weird and broken man: Wow, Tim Walz! He lost a battle in 2014 to be the ranking Democrat on Veterans’ Affairs when leadership rushed a vote and then almost kicked him off the committee. We should reach out to Corrine Brown!

Just a reminder that virtually no one changes their vote based on the VP nominees.

Overturning Chevron does a lot of things but it's hard to argue it empowers Congress. Theoretically, it makes sense that a weaker legislative executive means a stronger legislature.
But this perspective ignores a lot of practical context.

When former Rep. Jim Langevin first arrived at the Capitol in January 2001, old buildings and cramped offices created a hodgepodge of obstacles for the first quadriplegic to serve in Congress. ow.ly/Bosq50SeSQk
