This week, Ron Steslow and Hagar Chemali (Fmr. spokesperson for the U.S. Mission to the UN) examine how efforts to “protect democracy” can sometimes undermine its foundations.
They unpack the ongoing Epstein investigation and what it reveals about the importance of impartial justice and truth. They dig into the U.K.’s Banter Bill and its chilling effect on free speech—an essential pillar of democratic society. And they discuss the Tornado Cash trial unfolding in Manhattan, and how it could set a precedent that reshapes Americans’ digital privacy rights.
These aren’t just headline stories—they’re stress tests for the core values that make democracy function.
Then, in Politicology+ they discuss Javier Milei proving his detractors wrong and the remarkable turn around in Argentina this year.
