My initial take on Trump's win:

His gains were widespread, so explanations should start with the broadest factors -- not with bespoke stories about states, cities, counties, and groups.
The simplest explanation: party of unpopular incumbent loses.

I don't have many strong and informed opinions, but when it comes to PoC politics, that's one exception because I study them. Lots of ill takes here on PoC & the election. Rather than criticize, let me provide some evidence-based input on the election and the preceding months🧵

Nate's data is coming from this tracker from the @JECRepublicans. They don't have a state-level inflation estimate either, though. They just use BLS's estimate of regional inflation and apply it to an estimate of household spending when Biden took office.

I've had many "final" moments with my dissertation this month, but this one is the most final: it is filed with the graduate school, and I am a doctor!
Enormous thanks to my committee, @profwschiller, @ProfPaulTesta, and Susan Moffitt; and everyone at @BrownUPoliSci.

Congratulations to the newly minted *Dr.* Rob Grace @RobMGrace, who completed a wonderful dissertation on humanitarian access in civil wars, and when that access is obstructed. Keep an eye on him!

I’ve written a textbook on improving your statistical inferences. It consists of the content I teach in workshops, and combines material from my MOOC’s, blog, and published work. It’s a free open educational resource: You can read it here: lakens.github.io/statistical…

The single most undervalued fact of linear algebra: matrices are graphs, and graphs are matrices.
Encoding matrices as graphs is a cheat code, making complex behavior simple to study.
Let me show you how!
