I've been watching with some interest, and feel like I don't know anywhere near the whole story. We all look for "good guys" and "bad guys" to make sense of a narrative, but I come away with the feeling that Ms Jones is not solidly in the former camp. One data point I have for this is the way she tears down others who are doing their best work, for example a very public feud with Emily Oster: https://twitter.com/GeoRebekah/status/1344067350216265729 https://twitter.com/GeoRebekah/status/1344067350216265729
We have some serious work to do. I'm very hopeful that we're going to have a very solid team at the national leadership level in 3 days, after a year of a vacuum, but I'm still concerned about state and local levels. I don't think these types of personality fights are very helpful.
