I dug into in a lot of Census/USCIS/ polling data to do this story on the voting power of naturalized citizens – which has grown a lot over the last 20 years! They cast more than 8% of ballots in 2018, and that number will likely be even higher in 2020. latimes.com/politics/story…
Polls show that these new Americans tend to be pretty liberal voters, and the turnout for naturalized Latinos and Asian Americans is several points higher than their natural-born counterparts. latimes.com/politics/story…
So why does this matter now? There are signs that, as happened in California in the 1990s, many immigrants are naturalizing so that they can vote in the 2020 election. Applications for citizenship surged before Trump's 2016 win, and they've stayed high: latimes.com/politics/story…
This data didn't make it into my story, but in September, Harris County (Houston) already had more voter registrations from naturalization ceremonies than in any of the last five years. I went to a ceremony of 2,155 new citizens where 85% registered. latimes.com/politics/story…

Matt Pearce bargained a fair contract 🦅
@mattdpearce
Subcontracting. Boy, I don't know.
I would not describe "contract hits" as being central to our business; actually, we are merely a platform, a marketplace, where contract hits can be negotiated more efficiently. Our IPO will be $40 billion dollars and we hate AB5.
Technically this contract hit spawned so many derivatives that you could have bundled all the contracts into a tranche, securitized it and then borrowed against it, immediately before losing all your money on subprime assassinations and going straight to prison.

Rare morning sighting of the @latimes parking lot kitties, who eat our food for free and stare at us sullenly and then run away.
proposal: the cats should let us pet them
The contempt.

A little thread, which I may come back to, for all those #technophobes who blame rise in #suicide on #socialmedia.

First: legit, what rise?
Second: The actual experts do not agree with you, and your fear-mongering is likely causing more harm than good.
cf. Thomas, K, and Gunnell, D. (2010). Suicide in England and Wales 1861–2007: a time-trends analysis. International Journal of Epidemiology, Volume 39, Issue 6, December 2010, Pages 1464–1475.
So, first the data, from #UK (above) and elsewhere (below).

Clearly if this epidemic was *caused* by a *single* factor it would permeate all societies with social media.

I have had PDs mentor grad students. It's important to check with both to make sure the mentoring is going well. Also let the student know the PD won't write the letter of Rec if the student doesn't want that.
Also, to any PD who abuses students this way: you suck. Stop. Never joke to an international student about deportation. It's not funny, ever. If you are someone who sees this behavior, don't encourage it, and if possible, report it.
Student 15: I felt that my MS advisor was verbally abusive. I frequently felt like a failure and it made it so that I was scared to go to him if something went wrong. Which of course made him more mad. 1/3

Trump will speak to the CPAC conference in Maryland shortly. Tweets in this thread.
Here is the CPAC crowd, behind and in front of the media zone.
There is a video before Trump speaks. As the Trump on video says "we will make America great again," the crowd shouts GREAT AGAIN in time with him. Then there is a video of Matt Schlapp on CNN talking about "socialism."

Manafort gave 75 PAGES of #polling data to a #Russian🇷🇺intelligence agent (Kilimnik) with the GRU👉hacked @TheDemocrats.

Manafort gave #Russia DETAILED "cross-tabs" (not just top-line results) that could be used to MICROTARGET voters on social media.🤬

thedailybeast.com/paul-manafort-…
I ran for Congress, and my husband served for 6 years in Congress. Campaigns typically only share such DETAILED #polling data to entities helping the campaign communicate with voters (e.g., field, mailings, TV/radio/social media ads, etc).🤨

#TrumpRussia
Team🇺🇸Mueller said the Manafort/Kilimnik meeting goes to the "heart" of the #TrumpRussia🇷🇺probe👉there is NO legitimate explanation for why Manafort would share such DETAILED #polling data with THE RUSSIANS.

Total "#collusion," also known legally as #conspiracy against the US.🤬

Last Friday, I was honored to receive the David Kershaw Award appam.org/awards/david-n… from APPAM. At the conference, I gave a talk entitled “What Does Education Do?” In case you missed it, I am going to TWEETSTORM the main points below 1/N
As we all know, economic inequality has risen a lot over the last 40 years. Understanding why is challenging, because there are many potential explanations, but only one fact pattern 2/N
My first main point was that the fact pattern suggests education is a very important part of the story. 3/N
