Fascinating @USSC polling. This jumps out. Only 16% of Australians think Trump 2.0 has been good for Australia. 73% are worried about US democracy. But despite that just 17% want to ditch the alliance, well under the 37% who said in 2023 we should withdraw if Trump was re-elected

Trump signed dozens of executive orders on day one to show he's taking action. But they may not result in the substantive change an anxious public is demanding. @Sydney_Uni https://t.co/PIsGlOBKsN

The vagaries of polling – and, most of all, the vagaries of the US electoral system – mean there is little point attempting to read the tea leaves beyond the broad public sentiment polling captures. Read more analysis from @sydney_uni https://t.co/lkRTta0sON

Just 24 hours after the end of the vice presidential debate, the US news cycle has all but moved on

[United States Studies Centre @USSC]

Trump has announced JD Vance (@JDVance1) as his 2024 running mate.

But who is this young senator from Ohio? What are his policy views? And importantly, what will it mean for Australians?

In 2020, Donald Trump signed an executive order designed to convert some 50,000 public servants into easily fireable political appointees.

If re-elected, how far might Trump go in his bid to "dismantle the Deep State"?

Wikipedia editors are locked in heated debate over whether to add “convicted felon” to the first line of Trump’s Wikipedia article.

A vote among Wikipedians shows 60% of them in favour. Whether Americans asssociate Trump with the term could determine his chances in November

Too many students and too few cadavers led USyd to ask the public to donate their bodies to science in the 1940s.

My @anzshm paper with Rebekah Jenkin and @LNSFSydney shows why @syd_health was one of the first to rely on consenting body donors for anatomical teaching #histmed

Tonight, Americans will lose an hour of sleep as the US #springforward to #DaylightSavings.

But a law for permanent DST would mean 9 in 10 urban Americans see winter sunrises after 8am.

My new @USSC policy brief explains why that isn’t a good idea:

[United States Studies Centre @USSC]

🕐 Clocks in America will #springforward this weekend for #daylightsavingtime. Should it become permanent? @USSC's Samuel Garret makes the case against permanent daylight saving time noting 87% of Americans wouldn't see sunrise until after 8am in winter.
