Since American president Donald Trump was elected to a second term, it is common to hear citizens, journalists, and public officials distinguish between the laws and leaders of their states and the national government. Those who oppose Trump's policies with regard to reproductive rights, gun violence, LGBTQ+, education, police, and voting often present state constitutions, courts, laws, culture, and leaders as a bulwark against Trump's autocratic rule.  But Professor Stephen H. Legomsky sees it differently. His new book, Reimagining the American Union: The Case for Abolishing State Government (Cambridge University Press 2025) argues that – if we care about democracy – we should imagine an America without state government. No longer a union of arbitrarily constructed states, the country would become a union of one American people. Reimagining the American Union understands state government as the root cause of the gravest threats to American democracy. While some of those threats are baked into the Constitution, the book argues that others are the product of state legislatures abusing their powers through gerrymanders, voter suppression, and other less-publicized manipulations that often target African-Americans and other minority voters. Reimagining the American Union interrogates how having national, state and local legislative bodies, taxation, bureaucracy, and regulation wastes taxpayer money and burdens the citizenry. After assessing the supposed benefits of state government, Professor Legomsky argues for a new, unitary American republic with only national and local governments. Stephen H. Legomsky is the John S. Lehmann University Professor Emeritus at the Washington University School of Law. Professor Legomsky has published scholarly books on immigration and refugee law, courts, and constitutional law. He served in the Obama Administration as Chief Counsel of U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services and later as Senior Counselor to Secretary of Homeland Security Jeh Johnson. He was a member of President-Elect Biden's transition team, has testified often before Congress, and has worked with state, local, UN, and foreign governments.

Federal prosecutors have attempted to tie Indigenous political prisoner Leonard Peltier to the murder of fellow AIM activist, Anna Mae Pictou-Aquash. It is a frequent allegation that has relied on weak evidence and the charges of paid federal informants. In this episode, TRN Podcast co-host Nick Estes (@nickwestes) looks at several sources of information from key Indigenous activists who knew Leonard Peltier and Anna Mae Pictou-Aquash to the FBI's own knowledge of her murder at the time it happened and federal prosecutors' initial hesitancy to take up the case.

December 14, 2020 Intellectually dishonest hate-monger Paul DeMain has reignited his campaign to assure denial of any Executive Clemency to LEONARD PELTIER, 76, at any time before Leonard's next scheduled Parole Hearing in Year 2024 with a continued misuse and abuse of the December 1975 gunshot death of ANNA MAE AQUASH and the unconscionable exploitation of Anna Mae Pictou-Aquash's children. Assembly of First Nations National Chief Perry Bellegarde makes significant points in this 2016 article in which the 1975 Aquash death became the center point in President Barack Obama's decision to deny Clemency to Peltier: “I regret that my statement caused some hurt and pain and I apologize for the pain I caused her [Denise Maloney Pictou] and her family,” said Bellegarde. “That wasn't my intent.” Bellegarde said he still would like to see Peltier freed. He said the case is a separate issue from AIM's execution of Aquash. “I called for that (Peltier's release) because there is an injustice there,” said Bellegarde. “So I will continue to advocate for that.” Bellegarde said two previous AFN national chiefs have made the same call which is also backed by Amnesty International and prominent individuals like the Dalai Lama. Peltier was extradited from Canada to the U.S. in December 1976. Warren Allmand, Canada's solicitor general at the time of Peltier's extradition, has since stated the F.B.I submitted false information to have Peltier extradited." DeMain's posting of Aquash daughter Denise Maloney Pictou's December 12, 2020, renewed accusations against Leonard Peltier and DeMain's hated AIM organization [re-Posted here in Comment 1] are the beginning of a campaign to assure that 2020 President-Elect Joe Biden will not grant Executive Clemency to Leonard Peltier. In death and posthumously, Anna Mae has been made a sainted heroine. But between 1972 and November 14, 1975, Anna Mae's ways were AIM's ways. AIM's ways - good and bad - were without qualification or reservation Anna Mae's ways, by choice. At NCAI in November, American Indian Press Association's (AIPA) Richard LaCourse told me of his meeting with Dennis Banks, Leonard Peltier, Kamook Banks, and Anna Mae just before his coming to Portland for NCAI.. Anna Mae then had indicated no distress nor given any indication that she was being held prisoner or against her will. On November 14, 1975, the four AIM "leaders" only broke apart because of the Ontario, Oregon stopping of their [Marlon Brando] recreational vehicle by armed Oregon police. A couple days later, Leonard Peltier was transported (through Franks Landing) from Portland into British Columbia (by associates of mine, who did not inform me then of their activity). He spent the next month in the locale he was taken to and remained incommunicado with U.S. colleagues until later, at least until he traveled to Small Boy's camp in Alberta, Canada. That is where the RCMP and FBI picked up on Leonard - long after Anna Mae Aquash's death in the second week of December 1975. Memorandum in the FBI's Denver Office dated as early as December 19, 1975 disclosed Anna Mae Aquash had been killed - although the FBI would feign ignorance of the death and the corpse identity for more than the next three months. The December 1975 memos identified the killers as John "Boy" Graham, Arlo Looking Cloud, and Theda Nelson Clarke - although none of the three were indicted through the next 28 years. The Looking Cloud trial was held in December 2004; Graham's in 2010 - lapses of 29 and 35 years. Theda Nelson - a likely FBI Informant in December 1975 - (on mental competency findings) did not go to trial. Clark died at age 87 in 2011. Although a lead prosecutor opened the Leonard Peltier trial in Fargo, North Dakota on March 16, 1977 declaring: "AIM is not on trial."; both AIM and Leonard Peltier were made the main 'defendants' in the 2004 and 2010 trials for the killing of Anna Mae Aquash! If there was ever a case where all parties - prosecution, defense and all witnesses - acted in friendly collusion to 'convict' undefended and absent non-parties [1st Leonard Peltier; 2nd AIM] - the Looking Cloud and Graham trials were such cases. The fodder for the trial's conspiratorial claptrap largely was wrung from the mind and imagination of Paul DeMain in his relentless vendetta against AIM leaders and most creatively against Leonard Peltier. Many of his unsubstantiated claims were rejected by author Steven Hendricks when writing "The Unquiet Grave" (2007). DeMain "Timelines" for Anna Mae Pictou have since focused on the AIM Convention in New Mexico just prior to the Jumping Bull Compound deaths of FBI Agents on Pine Ridge on June 26, 1975 leading to the 1977 life sentence convictions of Peltier. The design is intended to prejudice considerations against any grant of parole or clemency for Peltier. Canada's Assembly of First Nation is correct in declaring the "execution" of Anna Mae Aquash and the pursuit of "freedom" for Leonard Peltier on compassionate and humanitarian grounds are "separate issues." They are correct in continuing their support for Executive Clemency through offices of both the Canadian Prime Minister and any U.S. President. What satisfaction can President Elect Biden derive from side-stepping all humanitarian and compassionate considerations for Leonard Peltier through a first term, deferring any favorable consideration to the scheduled Parole Hearing in 2024? The Pardons Office of a bureaucratic and prejudiced Justice Department housing the FBI has already failed the last four Presidents of the United States in this matter! Will retribution finally end if Leonard Peltier is still alive in 2024 and then 80 years old? Indians of Western Washington who transported Leonard Peltier to Canada on or about November 17, 1975, and Indians of British Columbia who hosted and concealed him for the next month or until beyond when the FBI first was informed of Anna Mae's death and the identity of her killers can attest to Leonard's movements and communications (record) that wholly absolve Leonard Peltier of any direct or indirect role in the December 1975 murder of Anna Mae Pictou-Aquash.

That was the Chairman of the House Intelligence Committee Adam Schiff casually admitting that he blackmailed social media companies to censor speech he does not like. Social media companies could not exist without immunity for what their users post. What Schiff confessed was nothing short of saying that if social media companies don't do what he says he will destroy their business model. This is a brazen and unconstitutional violation of everyone's First Amendment rights. But it goes beyond Schiff and it's not just about silencing Americans. At the end of the day, Schiff is just a mouthpiece of the intelligence community. Thanks to new Twitter Files we can now prove that the United States Intelligence Community engaged in a complex influence operation to make Joe Biden president. ⭕️ Watch in-depth videos based on Truth & Tradition at Epoch TV

Stirred by duty and endowed with humility, our nation's first President stepped to the podium on April 30th, 1789 to deliver the first inaugural address. The timeless speech that followed reveals the nobility of George Washington's character and motivations that stand in sharp contrast with much of what passes in the political realm today. The precedence he set was one of patriotism, not partisanship; constitutionality, not re-electability; dependence not arrogance. There is so much to learn from our nation's 1st President and his 1st Inauguration on this, the inaugural episode of Faith and Liberty Rediscovered!Can you imagine a Presidential inauguration devoid of any reference to a political party? Can you conceive of a day where an entire nation celebrated a first-term President who had no interest in a second? What about a Presidential cabinet that was intentionally inclusive of competing coalitions of thought? Can you fathom an inauguration day that ended with the entire executive branch together, in church? What may seem like dreams were realities in April of 1789. The incredibly divisive climate surrounding the 46th Presidential inauguration compels us to look back at our nation's 1st and see what we might learn.Stirred by duty and endowed with humility, our nation's first President stepped to the podium on April 30th, 1789 to deliver the first inauguration address.

On the next episode of The 224 Podcast, we explore the trending topics of the day, from President-Elect Biden's new Covid-19 Relief Plan, to new music from DSVN. Let's dive into all the news of the day on The 224 Podcast!

In typical government fashion where Government breaks the window and then charges you to fix it, Joe Biden proposes a 1.9 trillion dollar vaccination and economic rescue package. So after nearly a full year of disastrous lockdowns imposed upon Americans by power hungry officials, Democrats have found a WISH version of compassion and have decided Americans don't deserve to suffer the hardships of hunger, eviction, and job loss any longer. They hope we forget the fact it took them several months to tip us $600, but only 7 days to re-impeach President Donald Trump because... priorities. Of course "President-Elect" Biden only allocates roughly $560 billion dollars to Americans and a broad scope vaccination plan (yay!), so where is the rest of the money going, China Joe? And speaking of China, exactly how many Democrats are intimately connected to Chinese spies? At some point we have to wonder if they just come with the office like the desk and the leather chair. Last, some excellent news: Trump plans to declassify everything. You like coups, Mrs. Pelosi? Because just wait until America sees exactly how Spygate and Obamagate rolled out. No wonder we're looking at the precursor of communist censorship of Trump supporters. People are going to be shocked.

As we prepare for a new era in our government with President-Elect Biden's administration and a Democratic-controlled Congress, we must be steadfast in our commitment to value-based care. Can soon-to-be President Biden capitalize on this historical moment of unrest to unite our country with a value-based care policy agenda? Is COVID-19 truly a silver-lining moment for the value movement? How will providers, payers, policy-makers, public health, and patients leverage increased regulatory flexibilities, technological innovations, and major cultural shifts to fast-track strategic priorities that support the triple aim? Our guest this week is Andrew Croshaw, Chief Executive Officer of Leavitt Partners. Andrew's insights inspire and inform. Supported by leading-edge health care value economy research and intelligence from Leavitt Partners, this episode will provide you with the best policy analysis out there on this “Race to Value.” For additional information on the topics discussed in this episode, make sure to download the latest ACLC Intelligence Brief, The Future of Value-Based Care: 2021 and Beyond.

As we kick off a new year, chaos ensues in Washington as protesters flood the Capitol Building, interrupting Congress's Electoral College Certification.  It's a new year, everyone... and yet it feels pretty familiar, as we begin our coverage of the news in 2021 with chaos unfolding in the Nation's Capital. While Vice President Mike Pence performed the awkward role of presiding over the Senate's certification of Electoral College votes that will ultimately put Joe Biden in the White House, supporters of Donald Trump marched through Washington and made their way to the Capitol Building, where things quickly escalated and protesters made their way into the building. We look at the events leading up to this unprecedented breach of our Nation's Capital, as well as what the responses by President-Elect Biden, as well as President Trump, have been. Will America be able to find its way back to a more stable way of life, and government? We ask these questions, and look at the events of the last few hours on this week's edition of Middle Theory.  Coronavirus Charities: If you are able, please consider supporting the following charities that are offering relief for those affected by the coronavirus pandemic. Visit our Coronavirus Charities Page to learn more.

Flipping Georgia? Dems just flipped Georgia... a huge victory for President Elect Biden

Although it might not be a perfect parallel to liken Vice President-Elect Kamala Harris to Harry Truman, I have wondered if President-Elect Biden and Democratic leaders chose her as a potential successor to Biden in a way similar to how the party chose Truman to run with Roosevelt for his last term. Should Ms. Harris need to step in and take over the reins of the White House, what might her leadership style look like?

Dan Schorr and Alyssa-Rae McGinn discuss President-Elect Biden's nomination of Dr. Miguel Cardona as Secretary of Education (Episode 4)

On Wednesday, President-elect Joe Biden made official his nomination of Pete Buttigieg, the former mayor of South Bend, Indiana, to head the Department of Transportation. (Video from announcement.)Some of the top associations advocating on transportation policy were quick with statements of support. On this episode, a conversation with an official at one of those organizations. Lloyd Brown, director of communications at the Washington, D.C.-based American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials, talks about their support and what a Buttigieg nomination means. Brown talks about the administration's promised focus on safety, reducing greenhouse gas emissions and sustainable funding for all infrastructure. Also discussed, how Buttigieg can balance an emphasis on safety and Vision Zero, Complete Streets and carbon reduction strategies, with a need for massive recovery in the airline and transit industries because of the pandemic.Will having a dynamic and gifted communicator at the helm raise his profile and the administration's priorities? A Washington Post story had this to say: "The choice of Buttigieg, who sought the Democratic presidential nomination and has an ardent following among some members of the party, will bring a dash of star power to what is normally a staid, if important, department."Echoing the sentiments about the traditionally low profile of the transportation secretary, one observer, acknowledging that “no politically ambitious little kid dreams of growing up to be the transportation secretary,” explains why Buttigieg is different. On Dec. 15, Governor Gretchen Whitmer released the following statement after President-elect Biden nominated Mayor Pete Buttigieg for Secretary of Transportation:“This is great news for our families, our businesses, and our nation's economy. Every American deserves to drive to work and drop their kids at school safely, without blowing a tire or cracking a windshield. Mayor Buttigieg has shown a deep commitment to getting things done for Americans everywhere, and I know he will work around the clock to fix and protect our nation's infrastructure. President-Elect Biden has proven once again that he is committed to building an administration that represents the great diversity of our nation, with more women, more people of color, and more members of the LGBTQ+ community at the table. I look forward to working closely with Mayor Buttigieg and the entire Biden Administration to fix the damn roads and protect Michiganders from shelling out hundreds of dollars a year on car repairs. Let's get to work.”It was notable that the nominees to lead the Transportation and Energy departments were named the same day. Choosing former Michigan Gov. Jennifer Granholm signals how important the focus on alternative fuels will be as top automakers shift to building more electric vehicles and transportation agencies develop ways to support charging needs.Podcast photo courtesy of Gage Skidmore.

Concern is raging in the African American community that Mr. Biden is not meeting expectations with his appointments of African Americans in his administration. While their concern remain valid, I urge patience as Mr. Biden is not even halfway through his appointments notwithstanding the fact that he has made some significant African American appointments already. I trust Mr. Biden when he said, he will have the backs of African Americans.

In this episode of Shaping The Future, I am speaking to the Vatican's head of ecology, Father Josh, who also happens to be coordinating the COVID-19 response within the Holy City. In May 2020 Pope Francis declared a year of Laudato Si, building on the work of his encyclical on climate change in order to inspire exponential change across all walks of life, including all forms of Christianity, other faiths, and like-minded people around the world. Through many advisors that make up the Pontifical academy of sciences among other advisers, church leaders are informed on climate and ecological science from some of the worlds most respected experts. Father Josh iterates the connection between nature, humanity and climate, while emphasising that the poor who have not caused this crisis are often the worst impacted and that a just response to climate change, means putting their needs at forefront of our actions. In this interview, Father Josh also reminds us that we must learn from the pandemic in order to reform our relationship with nature and live within planetary constraints. Thank you for listening to Shaping The Future - the next episode will feature the director of the World Resources Institute in Washington, Dan Lashof, discussing how impactful President-Elect Biden's climate plans will likely be.

Marie: This is Minnesota Native News, I'm Marie Rock. Coming up...Come January, there will be new leadership in the White House with a plan for Tribal Nation relationship...  and Minnesota tribes band together to assist in fighting wildfires out West.Reporter Leah Lemm has these stories…. STORY #1: PE BIDEN-VPE HARRIS ON TRIBAL NATIONSPresident-Elect Joe Biden and Vice-President Elect Kamala Harris are poised to lead the nation next. During his victory speech, President Elect Biden acknowledged the diversity of supporters that helped elect him. Pres-Elect Biden: “...I am proud of the coalition we put together, the broadest and most diverse in history. Democrats, Republicans and independents. Progressives, moderates and conservatives. Young and old. Urban, suburban and rural. Gay, straight, transgender. White. Latino. Asian. Native American.”In early October, their campaign released their plan for tribal nations.They write that they plan to uphold the U.S.'s trust responsibility, strengthen the Nation-to-Nation relationship between Tribal Nations and the United States, and work to empower tribal sovereignty.The next administration has many concrete items on the to-do list. A few of which are to:appoint Native leaders to high level government positions,defend the Indian Child Welfare Act, and...Invest in Infrastructure and Clean Energy, including reliable high speed internet for Native households and support tribal efforts to shift to clean energy.The full list can be found in the BIDEN-HARRIS PLAN FOR TRIBAL NATIONS.Next up, tribes from Minnesota help fight wildfires out West.STORY #2: BIA FIREFIGHTING CREWReporter: This summer and into fall, wildfires have spread in large parts of the country. Crews were sent to help control the fires, including a crew from tribal communities in MN. They fought the Puzzle fire in South Dakota and the Williams Fork and East Troublesome fires in Colorado.Ferin Davis: We all represented the BIA, but we're pretty much employees of different tribal nations in Minnesota. Reporter: Ferin Davis is a citizen of the Turtle Mountain Band and is the Lead Environmental Scientist for the Shakopee Mdewakanton Sioux Community. They manage approximately 4,500 acres in Scott County, Minnesota, which is just located 30 minutes Southwest of Minneapolis. Ferin was part of the 13-member crew representing the Bureau of Indian Affairs from Minnesota that went and helped fight wildfires.Ferin Davis: There were firefighters from Leech Lake, Fond du Lac, White Earth, Bois Forte and, I believe Mille Lacs and then us in Shakopee... This was kind of cool that the BIA was able to pull us all together and send out the first all BIA represented module since the nineties.Reporter: Ferin points out that part of the relationship between SMSC and the Bureau of Indian Affairs is that their fire fighting crew assists with wildfires, and in turn, the BIA helps with prescribed burn operations in their community.The first fire they were called to was in South Dakota on the Rosebud Reservation on October 3rd.Ferin Davis: And so we were pulled there first because we're a BIA crew and BIA manages that land or helps manage that land. It was 150 acre of fire. When we got there, it was kind of cooling down, but what we did was help really kind of put it to bed. Reporter: Then the crew went to Colorado on the 8th, first to the Williams Fork fire.Ferin Davis: It was getting really windy in where we're at. There are a lot of dead trees, standing, dead trees. So their concern was that these trees can fall on us while we're working. So when conditions get to be that dangerous, sometimes they'll take a step back and say, okay, we're just gonna reset, take the morning off to rehab your tools, get other things organized. We were basically waiting in our trucks, rehabbing our tools and kind of re-positioning for other things. And that's when the East Troublesome Creek fire started. So then that afternoon we were kind of pulled over to that fire because whatever available resources they had, they wanted to respond to that.Reporter: I'm glad to say Ferin Davis reported that the MN BIA crew was safe.Ferin Davis: That's always the end goal is to go home safe.Reporter: For MN Native News, I'm Leah Lemm.

Only three episodes to go, Leapers! We're back with with our re-watch of “The Leap Between the States". Sam secedes from the regular rules (thank you, TV Guide, for that brilliantly horrible pun), and leaps back almost a hundred years further than his own lifetime, into the life of his great-grandfather, Captain John Beckett, of the Union army. After the initial shock of finding himself in an era he was never meant to travel to, Sam finds himself in a somewhat “Back to the Future”-esque plot where he must make sure his great-grandfather and great-grandmother get together as intended. He also gets involved with the Underground Railroad and former slave, Isaac - who will go on to have a very, very important descendant. Plus, this episode wouldn't be complete without a dastardly Confederate villain, right? As always, we deconstruct the episode and examine how well it holds up to present day viewing. Also going well off-topic (Us? Never!), and discuss the 2020 presidential election. (We recorded this just one day after the race was called for President-Elect Biden.)

Today's humble badass educator is Kevin Gant. Kevin is the Director of Network Innovation for New Tech Network, a nation-wide network of over 200 schools spanning Elementary, Middle and High schools that are working to transform teaching and learning. Previously, Kevin was a Teams Designer and School Development Coach for New Tech. Kevin has also worked at New Tech school Nex+Gen Academy in Albuquerque, New Mexico as an integrated Math and Science teacher and later as a Teacher Coach. Kevin was recognized by President Obama as New Mexico's 2015 recipient of the prestigious Presidential Award for Excellence in Mathematics and Science Teaching. In our conversation, Kevin discusses some of the key elements that foster successful student-directed learning in Project-Based Learning (PBL) classrooms. He names some of the partnerships that he utilized in his own classrooms and how integrating with other subject areas through co-teaching enhanced a connected experience for his students. He talks about some of the ingredients that led Nex+Gen Academy to high levels of success and larger picture insights of what direction he would like to see our education system take. It is my opinion that Kevin Gant would make for a fantastic new Secretary of Education, so President Elect Biden, I hope you are listening to today's episode of Humble Badass Educators.
