Why illegal fishing is becoming a national security issue

September 13, 2016

This week, Secretary of State John Kerry is gathering world leaders in Washington, D.C., for a major conference on protecting the oceans. Included on the program are key issues such as ocean pollution, sustainable fishing and protection of marine parks. This is a strong biodiversity and conservation agenda, but notably absent is how these traditional […]


Pneumonia, baskets and the media: A campaign in 3 acts

September 13, 2016

Red-state Democrats and party strategists are already nervously looking past 2016, when they are angling to recapture the Senate, to the 2018 elections, hoping against hope that their party isn’t setting itself up for a titanic midterm backlash that could flip control of the Senate for a third time in three elections. As difficult as […]
