This @The_JOP blog post summarizes my forthcoming article with @maxallamong. We look at how differences in a country leader’s education background--specifically, their major and the educational model of their university--affect whether they pursue liberal reforms while in office.
⁉️ What are the micro-foundations of economic and political liberalization? Mark Nieman (@markdnieman) & Maxwell Allamong (@maxallamong) develop & test a leader-specific theory to explain liberalization across a range of policy areas on @The_JOP blog ⬇️📖https://t.co/i0xCyo5EH0
While the Russians were lying about Ukrainians supposedly suppressing the Russian language, they were busy destroying the Belarusian language through their puppet Lukashenko.
This is the reality of Russian imperialism.
VP Kamala Harris has a message specifically for #AmericansAbroad. “This election will define the future of our country for generations, and it's critical that every American voter, no matter where they are in the world, has the chance to participate in shaping that future.” #DemsAbroad #HarrisWaltz2024 https://https://t.co/R0zRTfAdup
If you can’t unequivocally say that Russia is the bad guy in this conflict, you aren’t qualified to discuss foreign policy. Full stop.
They invaded a sovereign country and attempted to permanently change their borders by force.
In no scenario are they in the right.
If you think Ukrainians are asking for too much, read this.
If you think they’re ungrateful for support - you’re wrong. I just left another visit to 🇺🇦 from 🇺🇸 where I was constantly thanked for support. But they rightfully want & need more to be able to protect their home.

A 20% tariff on imports would be disastrous for Canada-U.S. trade, squeezing our economy while forcing American consumers to pay thousands more on everyday goods. With a potential 1.4% hit to U.S. GDP, this shift would harm families on both sides of the border. Let us not forget that prosperity is inextricably tied to free trade.

I swear to God the final Wall Street Journal editorial making case for Trump includes this line.
“Mr Trump was too undisciplined, and his attention span too short, to stay on message much less stage a coup.”
Too erratic to coup! Trump 2024!
My piece on Donald Trump’s campaign of endless lying about important and trivial subjects, how the lies are still generally not covered with the regularity they deserve, and how his campaign barely tries to defend the indefensible: https://t.co/HbPv2fQE3I
Donald Trump has a long record—singular among modern American presidents—of inciting violence.
Here is a partial list of his violent remarks, from 2015 until today. Read—and hear—his words: https://t.co/DVoYG3gLlX
I think we tend to forget how bad things were in 2021, and how much Biden and the Democrats have done to fix things since then.

This is how dictators destroy free nations. They threaten those who speak against them with death. We cannot entrust our country and our freedom to a petty, vindictive, cruel, unstable man who wants to be a tyrant. #Womenwillnotbesilenced#VoteKamala
Days before the presidential election, Americans learned that the economy is experiencing a dream combination of strong growth and low inflation, @jonathanjlevin says https://t.co/G8UOdKsZZ1
This is nothing short of stunning. Economics usually has a self enforcing tendency to it and momentum. Only politics or a financial crisis can lead to a pattern like this. Since there has not been a financial crisis, then it must be politics.
