The DSR Network Member Feed ·

2021/02/15

Is the U.S. strengthened or weakened in the eyes of our allies? We discuss this, the state of policing in America and more with guest host, Rosa Brooks of Georgetown Law School, Kori Schake of the American Enterprise

The House Impeachment managers proved beyond any reasonable doubt that Donald Trump incited an insurrection against the US government that resulted in six deaths over 140 injuries and profound damage to our democracy.Good as they were, we have to admit, it wasn't that tough to do because we all saw the events unfold.So, ensuring justice will be done should be easy, right?Not so fast.The Senate Kangaroo court you will remember from a year ago is back in session and most of the GOP simply do not care

This is a complex moment for America and for the world.It is a far cry from the euphoria of the immediate post-Cold War, tech boom era.But there were foreshadowings we would grapple with today's problems and three-time Pulitzer Prize Winner, NY Times columnist Thomas L.

2021/01/28

While some may look at the Trump coup attempt on January 6th as the last desperate act of the disgraced former president to remain in power, it is already being seen among white supremacist groups as a long expected signal of an escalation in domestic unrest leading to a civil war they have long planned and hoped for.The fact that Trump is likely to go unpunished for leading the January 6th effort and the Republican Party is taking a strong stand against accountability for that assault may only make

Senate "institutionalists" claim the filibuster is a traditional US Senate tool that produces compromise.Nope.It's a tool that was almost never used during the first 200 years of US history.And when it was used it was almost always used to promote a racist agenda.And now that it is used more often, it is used to obstruct and give disproportionate power to Republicans.The first step to eliminating it is understanding it and that is why we talk to veteran Senate staffer Adam Jentleson, author of an
