Ted Cruz will always and forever be the person the Capitol insurrectionists viewed as one of them as the tried to overturn an election
These are people with extreme beliefs who very much felt they were serving Trump and politicians like Cruz newyorker.com/magazine/2021/…
“Stop the Steal” was the theme of Trump’s 2020 effort to overturn the election. But it came from 2016, when the Trump campaign was planning to protest its expected loss to Clinton, created by one of the dirtiest political operators in US politics.

This paper that presents and test the concept of administrative burden tolerance is now in print @JPART1991 (and still open access!) which is as good a reason as any to test it.
Like a lot of scholars I have long since gotten out of the habit of reading the latest issue journals, but the new one of @JPART1991 has some really exceptional papers, many of which are open access. academic.oup.com/jpart/issue/31…
Excited to read this paper on the intersection of gender and organizational environment by @raugpott & @craigvolden. Shows that women are more successful as policy entrepreneurs in bureaucracies when there is a supportive climate. academic.oup.com/jpart/article-…

Biased because I am quoted in it, but this piece by @stillsarita in the @NewYorker is an incredible distillation of how the Trump administration stealthily changed the US immigration system through the use of administrative burdens.
newyorker.com/magazine/2021/…
Non-immigrants are most familiar with formal changes like the Muslim ban. Immigrants have experienced the Trump era as a Kafkaesque thicket of deliberately constructed rules and procedures, where no policy has a fixed meaning because of the rate of change. Image
These small changes to immigration processes and procedures have a big effect: "All told, new administrative hurdles and other obstacles have cut the number of legal immigrants to the U.S. nearly in half." Image

.@AOC talking about the Capitol insurrection mob entering her office while she was hiding in a nearby bathroom, screaming "Where is she?"
"I thought I was going to die"
She adds the person who was yelling "where is she?" was a Capitol Police officer. But he was yelling with such aggression that "the situation did not feel ok."
That moment here.

The Trump OMB told agencies to no longer report strategic goals of performance metrics, saying no-one was using them. But they got the evidence wrong as I write here
@GovExec. So what should the Biden admin do differently?
govexec.com/management/202…
.
Earlier thread on the background to this management issue.
Trump's OMB head said no-one was using the performance data, but he ignored one key audience: federal managers. Of course members of the public are not downloading federal data - that does not mean they don't care about performance, but that they expect federal employees to do so
