Gratuitous self-promotion. @dickinsonstate @TR_Center Annual Symposium is on this week! Attend VIRTUALLY: theodorerooseveltcenter.org/…
It happens to be on American sport 😉 @AnneBlaschke @ClayJenkinson @DrPorkpie @DrJeffWells
The phrase "daring greatly" in Teddy Roosevelt's famous 1910 speech "has overshadowed his broader point about the need for collective responsibility in a democracy. In today’s political milieu, the speech has a profound relevance." @MichaelCullina2 washingtonpost.com/made-by-h…

Thomas Jefferson thought that each generation should rewrite its own founding document. A constitutional scholar talks about the changes that could have happened if Americans had taken Jefferson up on his challenge.

Public institutions suffer when partisan drama is televised, streamed or leaked. Ill-considered legislation has to be cleaned up by the courts; confirmation processes turn dirty; and selective leaking is used to flip narrow majorities.

In its 235-year history, 114 men and women (five women, the rest men) have served on the #SupremeCourt. Thus far 37 individuals nominated by the president of the United States have been denied confirmation. That’s about one in every five.

Our resident historian @ClayJenkinson explores 3 things – court packing, judicial review and meeting the expectations of the appointing presidents – that are not what you thought they were. #SupremeCourt

In 1788, Thomas Jefferson hastily wrote an account of his travels in Europe for two friends. That obscure guide sent a Virginia attorney on a journey that connects past and present in unexpected ways.

@lmchervinsky joins us to discuss the Marquis de Lafayette. Lafayette was only 19 years old when he arrived in America. He had no combat experience, and yet his service helped win the American Revolution. youtu.be/tfm9NF5kRDE

Often audacious, these bundled bills attempt to get a lot done in a hurry, loosening scrutiny on the public purse in the meantime.

At the height of his fame, #MuhammadAli was the most famous man on earth. You cannot divorce Ali’s extraordinary career from the brutal sport of boxing, but somehow in the end it is not really about #boxing, writes @ClayJenkinson:
