This week, Ron Steslow and Olivier Knox (Senior National Political Correspondent at U.S. News & World Report) talk about Trump’s federal control over the Metropolitan Police Department and the longstanding crime problem in Washington, D.C.
Later, they discuss the tensions between local and federal law enforcement nationally, the increasing surveillance and privacy concerns in society, and rediscovering the value of privacy.
Then, in Politicology+ they discuss whether thinking is becoming a luxury good. They explore the alarming trend of declining literacy and the implications of digital media and AI on human thought and social interaction. Later, they discuss how the shift towards a post-literate society, characterized by short-form content and algorithmic reading, threatens the foundations of democracy and critical thinking.
