  • Emergency Powers Are for Emergencies

  • Flock Safety’s Feature Updates Cannot Make Automated License Plate Readers Safe

  • Post-Attack Assessment of the First 12 Days of Israeli and U.S. Strikes on Iranian Nuclear Facilities

  • The Uncertainty in the Aftermath of the U.S. Bombing in Iran

  • Quote of the Day

    One thing I think that this attack signals is that there’s a big distinction between nuclear and non-nuclear states in that you can do whatever you want to a non-nuclear state. It would be much harder if Iran actually had a nuclear program…. Once you get nuclear weapons, it’s really hard for anybody to come and overturn your regime…. And so there’s going to be all these long-run consequences that aren’t going to be necessarily so pretty, meaning that a lot of countries are going to see this as a signal that they need to get serious about their own separate nuclear deterrence.

    — Francis Fukuyama, interviewed by Yascha Mounk, Persuasion, 25 June 1925

  • Cyber Attacks Shake Voters’ Trust in Elections, Regardless of Party

    American democracy runs on trust, and that trust is cracking. In recent years, authoritarian regimes have refined a chillingly effective strategy to chip away at Americans’ faith in democracy by relentlessly sowing doubt about the tools U.S. states use to conduct elections.

  • A New Trump Plan Gives DHS and the White House Greater Influence in the Fight Against Organized Crime

  • Brazil’s Dangerous Flirtation with Counterterrorism

    The main conversation about terrorism in Brazil is focused on mistaken efforts to label criminal groups as terrorists. This is dangerous, as the term “terrorism” contains within it a power to dress state repression as a proportionate response to emergency. Brazil should not adopt the term “ counterterrorism,” and all that it implies and permits, to address the very serious – but very separate – problem of organized crime.

  • What is CREC? The Christian Nationalist Group Has a Vision for America − and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s Support

    CREC theology includes the belief that the establishment clause of the Constitution does not require a separation of church and state. The CREC broadly asserts that the government and anyone serving in it should be Christian. For Wilson and members of CREC churches, this means Christians and only Christians are qualified to hold political office in the United States.

NIH grants also support more than 400,000 U.S. jobs, and have been a central force in establishing the country’s dominance in medical research.
