Current Novak Fellow @MJ_Koch weighs in on the growing unrest in France and what it could mean for the country’s future.
These aren’t peaceful protests. This isn’t about schools. Many of these rioters aren’t even French.

Voters want substance, not spectacle. The final weeks of a campaign should be about the issues on the ballot, not personal drama. Well said by TFAS alumna @carinemhajjar.
The Ohio ad scandal isn’t just upsetting — it’s robbing voters of the policy debate they deserve in the closing days of the election

“We’d all like to believe that, like Luke Skywalker, Zelensky could bomb a data center and free us from foreign influence and troll campaigns. Unfortunately, that’s not how it works yet.”

NEW: Have you ever wondered what you'd see on X if you could unmask all the Russian bots at once? This week, it seemed like we got a taste of that reality after Ukrainian drone strikes disabled Yandex data centers. If only it were that easy.
