Welcome Back to The Realignment
We released two episodes this week: The Washington Post’s Josh Rogin on U.S.-China relationship during the Obama, Trump. and Biden administrations; and HuffPost’s Jonathan Cohn about how the ten year plus battle over Obamacare defined the 2010s and what it says about the state of both parties.
Episode: 113: Jonathan Cohn: Why the Ten Year War Over Obamacare Explains Everything About American Politics
We‘ve built a special Bookshop list with recommendations for learning more about Obamacare, healthcare reform, and the Medicare for All debate.
Episode 112: Josh Rogin: Inside Trump, Xi, and Biden’s Battle for the 21st Century
We’ve built a special Bookshop list with recommendations geared to help us all gain a deeper understanding of China, the U.S., and foreign policy/national security.
Also, ICYMI: we also built a Bookshop list last week with Admiral Stavridis’s recommendations on China.
Next Week’s Shows: Glenn Greenwald 4/6 & Extended Q&A 4/8.
Next week, we’re airing an episode with Glenn Greenwald about his new book, Securing Democracy: My Fight for Press Freedom and Justice in Bolsonaro’s Brazil. You can purchase the book at our Bookshop.
Glenn’s obviously constantly in the discourse, so we’d love to hear what we should focus on? Everyone and their cousin talks with him about his beef(s) with the mainstream media, so we’d like to focus in on Brazil (a country we know very little about). Also, his views on foreign policy in general.
We’re also planning on an extended Q&A episode on Thursday, so definitely leave us 5-star reviews on Apple Podcasts with your questions, reply to this issue of the newsletter, or email us at realignmentpod@gmail.com.
