This dataset is the basis for my new paper coauthored with Dan Butler and @stan_okl in @SPPQJournal, https://t.co/7PqokG9RTj

Excited to release a dataset with nearly 4 million tweets by all American state legislators, coded for topic and ideology through supervised learning, here: https://t.co/Oo9imXUYdI.

Excited to see @NhatDangDo1 (professor at Trinity College, UCSD alumn) present his excellent research on RMIGs (racial minority interest groups) at Arizona State's Kopf Conference, "Puentes: Bridging American Politics' Interest Group and Institutions Research."

What happens when politicians meet TikTok? It's early days for this technology, but based on what we have learned from other social media platforms, there are reasons to worry: https://t.co/OPOwA22apq

Excited to publish this new paper on trust in elections with @CassidyReller and Anthony Anderson: https://t.co/BiOlIzgTxG

Yup, Stan, academia is kinda like playing baseball where everyone bats .127 and even when you do get a hit, you have to do every ludicrous thing three umpires tell you before you can reach base. But as a former editor and frequent R2, I think peer review is vital, if sadistic.

About to tune into @UCCenterSac’s event featuring @AsmMarcBerman and @SenatorUmberg. Looking forward to hearing about how factors like COVID-19 will shape the #2020Election. @CID_USC’s @MindySRomero will also be joining the discussion!

[Center for Inclusive Democracy @CID_Research]

@AsmMarcBerman highlights that California has existing policies to ensure citizens can safely cast their ballots. He says, “Since we already had much of the infrastructure in place, it was much easier to ramp up vote-by-mail in response to COVID-19.”

[Center for Inclusive Democracy @CID_Research]

@SenatorUmberg referenced other bills such as SB-72 that allows eligible voters in California to register to vote on #ElectionDay and SB-423 that would help to ensure every voter in California can safely vote in-person.

[Center for Inclusive Democracy @CID_Research]

A reminder from @UCCenterSac's event: CA citizens can track their ballot and correct problems on their ballot to ensure their vote is counted in the #2020Election! https://t.co/VgoQJ2Qg34

[Center for Inclusive Democracy @CID_Research]

According to the study:
52% said they wanted to vote-by-mail
30% said they would vote in-person
19% said they would drop off their ballot

The nerdiest issue in Obamacare replacement is the one that means the most to the nation's most vulnerable: https://t.co/vVhIzhgYyo

...that it opens up a Congressional seat opportunity for @JohnAPerez, perhaps California's most talented legislative leader of past decade

[Thad Kousser @ThadKousser]

Gov. Jerry Brown's appointment of @RepBecerra to be CA's new A.G. gives big platform to one very talented Latino leader at the same time...

[Institute of Governmental Studies @BerkeleyIGS]

Could @realDonaldTrump campaign echo Pete Wilson's 94 CA Gov bid & alienate Latino voters long term, asks @ThadKousser?

My take on #Calexit — fun hashtag, bad idea https://t.co/NsjU7CS8V0
