Steve Yates analyzes the Taiwan People's Party's (TPP) historic visit to mainland China. Originally a pro-identity youth movement, the TPP is now seeking political power through a coalition with the pro-China KMT. This shift complicates Taiwan's political landscape, as the younger demographic overwhelmingly identifies as Taiwanese, not Chinese. (5)

Political and economic power is increasingly moving toward the South as corporations relocate, populations grow and Southern leaders gain more influence in Washington. On today's episode of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution's Politically Georgia podcast, Tia Mitchell and Patricia Murphy speak with Democratic strategist Howard Franklin about his new report, Accelerating South: Risks, Rewards and the Road Ahead. Franklin explains how migration, business investment and a new generation of governors could reshape the region and Georgia's place within it. The conversation also examines the debate over data center growth, Atlanta Mayor Andre Dickens' second-term priorities and the possibility that Georgia could elect a Democratic governor while Republicans retain control of the General Assembly. Tia and Patricia then assess how Keisha Lance Bottoms and Rick Jackson are repositioning themselves for the general election, and what Democrats still want to see from the Bottoms campaign.

This episode hosts David Daley to examine the accelerating role of gerrymandering in shaping American democracy and what it reveals about the pressures facing modern electoral systems. The conversation explores his argument that democratic strain is driven not only by electoral cycles or individual political choices, but by the deliberate drawing of electoral maps that enables political actors to select their voters, weaken accountability, and reshape the incentives that underpin democratic competition. Daley argues that while gerrymandering has long been part of American politics, its contemporary form is defined by greater precision, scale, and the degree to which it is now enabled by advanced data systems and a permissive legal environment.The episode examines how technological change has transformed redistricting into a highly sophisticated analytical process. Drawing on census data, historical voting patterns, and commercially available behavioural datasets, political operatives are now able to model electoral outcomes at the level of individual households. Advanced mapping software allows thousands of district configurations to be tested and refined before any boundaries are finalised, turning what was once a broadly geographic exercise into a data-driven process of political optimisation. This technological shift has strengthened the ability of parties to entrench advantage in an era of deep political polarisation.A central focus of the conversation is the evolving legal framework governing redistricting in the United States. Daley highlights the Supreme Court's 2019 decision in Rucho v. Common Cause, which removed federal courts from adjudicating partisan gerrymandering claims and effectively eliminated a key national constraint on extreme map-drawing. He also points to the longer-term weakening of Voting Rights Act enforcement following Shelby County v. Holder (2013), which dismantled the federal pre-clearance system. Taken together, these rulings have shifted oversight away from federal institutions and into a fragmented landscape of state courts, constitutions, and political processes, producing uneven constraints across the country and enabling more aggressive partisan behaviour in many jurisdictions.David Daley is a journalist, political commentator, and bestselling author of Ratf**ked, a landmark study of partisan gerrymandering in the United States first published in 2010. His work examines how changes in redistricting strategy, electoral law, and political technology have reshaped American democracy over the past two decades. Daley has written extensively on the impact of map-drawing on representation, highlighting how advances in data analytics and shifts in judicial oversight have transformed gerrymandering from a relatively blunt political practice into a precise instrument of partisan advantage.The International Risk Podcast brings you conversations with global experts, frontline practitioners, and senior decision-makers who are shaping how we understand and respond to international risk.

PODCAST SUMMARY South Carolina politics takes center stage as Greenville County Sheriff Hobart Lewis publicly weighs in on one of the most controversial political disputes in the state.

Today's top stories, with context, in just 15 minutes.On today's podcast:1) Ed Gallrein, President Trump's hand-picked candidate, defeated Thomas Massie in a congressional primary in Northern Kentucky. Gallrein's victory is seen as a sign of Trump's grip over his base in solid Republican states, despite national surveys showing the broader electorate souring on the president's handling of issues. The primary was one of the most expensive on record, with nearly $33 million spent.2) President Trump threatened to resume strikes on Iran in the coming days as part of the push for a deal to end the war. The Republican-led US Senate signaled opposition to continuing the war with a procedural vote on Tuesday evening that reflected deepening unease over a foreign conflict. Vice President JD Vance projected a slightly more positive tone on the negotiations, saying "we think that we've made a lot of progress, we think the Iranians want to make a deal," but also threatened a resumption of strikes.3) Talks between Samsung and its largest labor union broke down, raising the prospect of a strike that may disrupt global chip supply and hamper Korean economic growth. A general work stoppage will go ahead after Samsung’s management rejected a proposal from government mediators that had been accepted by the union, according to labor leader Choi Seung-ho. The collapse in negotiations puts the global technology supply chain at risk because Samsung is the world’s biggest supplier of chips that go into devices from data center servers to smartphones and electric vehicles.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

At the end of April, the Supreme Court’s ruling on Louisiana v. Callais significantly weakened the Voting Rights Act. The decision made it easier for states to legally draw districts that reduce the voting power of Black voters and other minority groups. In response, several Republican-controlled Southern states have moved to redraw their congressional maps. Adam Serwer, a staff writer at The Atlantic, joins Apple News In Conversation guest host Sam Sanders to help explain this pivotal moment and the long history of voting rights in America.

Elizabeth Peek critiques redistricting as an unattractive game that voters generally dislike. She emphasizes that population growth in Texas and Florida provides more long-term political power than manipulating district lines in blue states. (2/16)1930 THE BEETLE HORDE, ASTOUNDING

I don't want to seem ungrateful because I really have benefited much from the contributions of what might be called “Banner of Truth” postmillennialism. However, the emphasis with this strand of theology is almost entirely focused on the gigantic ticker tape parade of evangelism, mission work, intense revivals, and more. Scarcely a thought is given to how we might clean up after the parade, who would be responsible for that task, and what our laws would look like after the revival.For more from Doug, subscribe to Canon+: https://canonplus.com/

On this episode of the podcast, Ryan Walters, former Oklahoma State Superintendent and now CEO of the Teacher Freedom Alliance, joins to break down his ongoing fight to reshape American education. Walters details his efforts in Oklahoma to eliminate CRT from classrooms, expand school choice, and return decision-making power to parents.He exposes the massive financial muscle of teachers unions, revealing more than $10 million spent to oppose his reforms and over $1 billion in political spending over the past decade. Walters argues that this influence has allowed the left to maintain a grip on education, often at the expense of student outcomes.With momentum building, including a 14,000-member surge in his organization, Walters makes the case that a growing number of Americans are pushing back against what he describes as ideological indoctrination in schools, and are demanding accountability, transparency, and parental control in education.You can learn more about the Teacher Freedom Alliance by visiting their website: https://www.teacherfreedomalliance.com/ and you can follow Ryan Walters on X, along with this podcast and Host Amanda Head by searching for their respective handles: @RyanWalters_, @AmandaHead, and @FurthermorePod.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

The full show is anchored by a series of high-impact Supreme Court decisions and their political fallout, starting with a major Voting Rights Act ruling that strikes down race-based congressional redistricting in Louisiana and ignites nationwide debate over how districts are drawn and who benefits from them. Hour 1 sets the tone with a forceful defense of the ruling and its implications for Missouri's 1st District, alongside discussions on political representation, emerging surveillance concerns tied to Ford driver-monitoring technology, and a tribute to country legend David Allan Coe. Hour 2 expands the redistricting battle nationally while adding breaking stories on a St. Louis postal investigation involving dumped mail, NCAA Tournament expansion talks, Cardinals performance analysis, and broader cultural headlines ranging from Greece tourism restrictions to elder-care financial strain and entertainment speculation. Hour 3 shifts into federal policy and enforcement, highlighting a Justice Department rollback of Biden-era ATF gun regulations and a Supreme Court decision reinforcing a colorblind constitutional standard, while also covering Minnesota fraud raids tied to taxpayer-funded programs and political backlash involving Governor Tim Walz. Hour 4 closes with another major Supreme Court clash over immigration protections for Haitians, broader debate over ideological divisions on the Court and calls to expand its size, and further ATF regulatory reversals affecting gun dealers and private sales. Across all four hours, the show threads together themes of constitutional interpretation, federal overreach, political power shifts, and cultural tension points shaping national discourse.

The power the police wield on the streets of this country is plain to see. Less visible, but no less formidable, is the immense political power and influence that the police exercise. Historian Stuart Schrader describes how police unions amassed enormous power over the last fifty years.

The Gospel is inherently political—concerned with how human beings live together, how power is exercised, and who bears its cost—but it is not partisan, and the difference between those two things matters enormously. The Ignatian tradition, from Ignatius's own Two Standards meditation through five centuries of Jesuit witness, offers a framework for engaging political reality not through tribal allegiance but through fidelity to a gospel that consistently finds itself on the side of the poor, the marginalised, and the truth.

Why do evangelicals struggle when they gain political power?This conversation breaks down the tension between Christian ethics and modern politics, focusing on how ideas like moral purity, leadership, and authority translate (or fail to translate) from the church into government.The discussion explores Christian nationalism, the historical Protestant influence on America, and how institutions like universities shape cultural values.It also examines why applying church-based standards (like purity and holiness) to political leadership can create ineffective governance and poor decision-making.A major theme is the difference between biblical holiness vs. an obsession with purity, and how that distinction impacts leadership, culture, and policy. James Baird and Josh Howard also address controversial topics like moral hierarchy, sexual ethics, and cultural decline, offering a theological and sociological perspective on modern political engagement.If you’re interested in religion and politics, evangelicalism, cultural influence, or political theology, this conversation provides a deep and thought-provoking analysis.

Bill joins fellow FDD colleagues, Cameron McMillan and Ryan Brobst, from the Center on Military and Political Power to reassess the combat objectives met by the U.S. military after seven weeks of engagement in the Iranian War. Can the Department of Defense stand by their robust claims about Iranian hardware destruction? And, will the recent naval blockade be the military operation that ultimately breaks the Iranian regime?

In this episode, bestselling investigative journalist Peter Schweizer joins Lisa to expose the shocking revelations from his new book The Invisible Coup: How American Elites and Foreign Powers Use Immigration as a Weapon. Schweizer reveals how mass immigration has been deliberately transformed from a humanitarian issue into a strategic political tool — one wielded by American elites, foreign governments, activist NGOs, and powerful institutions to reshape elections, demographics, culture, and governance in the United States. Far from accidental policy failure, this “invisible coup” is a calculated long-term power play. Peter breaks down the coordinated influence campaigns operating behind the scenes, the role of foreign actors in shaping U.S. policy debates, and how educational institutions and NGOs have helped manufacture public consent for policies that benefit the powerful at the expense of everyday Americans. This eye-opening conversation pulls back the curtain on weaponized immigration and explains why it poses one of the greatest challenges to America’s future sovereignty and national identity. In this episode, you’ll discover: How immigration became a tool for political and demographic engineering The foreign interests and governments actively shaping U.S. immigration policy The hidden role of NGOs, activist networks, and educational institutions in influencing public opinion Why The Invisible Coup argues this strategy is deliberate — not accidental or incompetent What informed citizens can do to understand the tactics and push back effectively If you want to understand the real forces driving the border crisis, demographic shifts, and political polarization in America today, this is an episode you cannot miss.
