  1. Indiana congressional redistricting proposal advances to vote in House

    Jeffrey Harden, a political science professor at the University of Notre Dame, said redistricting in the middle of a census cycle isn’t as common because it’s not new data, but it can be done. “I think one perspective is, why fix something that isn’t broken? You know, we’ve already got a set of maps that were approved at least at one time. Why should we do this again until we actually have new data that’s going to reflect changes in where people live? And that won’t, of course, won’t come until 2030,” Harden said.

  2. Het gemeenschappelijke goed is niet simpelweg wat mensen willen, maar wat menselijk floreren mogelijk maakt

    Ideoloog Patrick Deneen geldt als een van de prominentste conservatieve denkers over deze nieuwe politieke tijd. Hij pleit voor „aristopopulisme”, waarin een goedwillende elite de zorgen van de „arbeidersklasse” omzet in veranderingen.
