Hadn't seen this until now. The book is on my desk to read ASAP--I can't wait. I've heard about it for years, have done my own research & writing on the topic, & even hold a chair in national security studies--Preston's work is likely to define the field of study.🗃️ @shafrhistorians.bsky.social

Is America an oligarchy? Bernie and AOC say yes, touring the country to “Fight Oligarchy.” Other Democratic leaders aren’t so sure. With the debate heating up, I wanted to share a few insights from our recent paper on who’s funding American politics. 🧵 cup.org/4cfm0Az

We asked five foreign policy and national security experts what surprised them most about President Trump’s first 100 days in office. warontherocks.com/20...

Vietnam was the first so-called “living room war,” watched on TV and seen through remarkable photography. Photojournalists captured the war’s most personal moments, the best and worst of human nature. See the photos, 50 years after the war ended. nyti.ms/4iG1Kd0

The National Archives was born from disaster that proved the fragility of government records. Now, after Trump fired the head archivist in Feb 2025 and top staff left, it faces a new era of uncertainty. An archivist explains:

Ce fut un vrai plaisir de participer au colloque international dédié à la vice-présidence américaine, organisé à l'Université de Grenoble Alpes. Grand merci à Séverine Nicot, Gregory Benedetti et Pierre-Alexandre Beylier pour l'organisation de ces deux journées stimulantes et fascinantes!

“It doesn’t win elections to just speak to the base of the party,” Slotkin said. “If it did, Kamala Harris would be president.” Fascinant article sur la réponse de la sénatrice Elissa Slotkin à la Joint Address de Donald Trump. www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

On the U.S. as a renegade power. Unfortunately, Trump chose the destructive path rather than the balanced one. reader.foreignaffairs.com/2025/02/25/t...

Face à la vague d'autoritarisme qui enfle un peu partout dans le monde, on se demande souvent comment il se peut que l'ethos démocratique soit si fragile et résiste aussi peu. S'il est fragile, c'est qu'il gouverne en vérité assez peu de sphères sociales.

People have gathered outside USAID HQ for press event with Democratic Congressmen Beyer, Raskin, Connolly and Olzewski and Senator Van Hollen where they're addressing the building's mysterious shutdown today in the midst of the Trump admin dismantling the agency. (Photos shared with me)
