When Moderates Come Up Short — Again
From the CenterI never liked being called a “moderate”. The term suggests that I don’t have strong feelings about anything – higher taxes or lower taxes, border wall or citizenship, pro-choice or pro-life – that the policy and real-world outcomes really didn’t matter as long as there was a compromise that led to agreement. But I’m not moderate about very many things at all. Rather, I am

The Twitter Files: Proof of Censorial Partisanship or Deceptively Overstated?
Evidence recently shared as part of the “Twitter Files” shows how Twitter employees restricted the visibility of some conservative commentators, and held nebulous meetings with the federal government about content moderation. Is this proof of bias at Twitter, or are the potential wrongs being exaggerated?
For Context: Since assuming ownership of Twitter, Elon Musk has recruited

Democrats and Republicans disagree about Covid-19 facts, in a divide that goes beyond usual political partisanship
Politics can divide even friends and families. When this happens, we like to tell ourselves that the explanation lies in honest differences in values and preferences. From this standpoint, friends from different political parties won’t really disagree, for example, about the number of workers displaced in the pandemic, but they might differ on who should bear the costs. It’s another matter,

Three Months In, Many Americans See Exaggeration, Conspiracy Theories and Partisanship in COVID-19 News
As Americans continue to process a steady flow of information about the coronavirus outbreak – from changing infection and death rates to new testing protocols and evolving social distancing guidelines – they give the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and other public health organizations the highest rating when it comes to getting the facts right. And they give Donald Trump and his

To stop coronavirus, we must set aside partisanship. Here's how we can do it.
Something extraordinary happened in the Middle East. In the wake of this global pandemic, Palestinians and Israelis put aside their differences and pledged to work together to stop the spread of COVID-19.
It should be a lesson to all of us: if these two adversaries can find a way to stop fighting, why can’t Americans?
Crises have a way of bringing us together but, unfortunately,

OPINION: How Obama is shrewdly using partisanship to sideline Netanyahu and save the Iran nuclear deal
The conventional wisdom is that partisanship in Washington, D.C., is one of the biggest obstacles to solving America's most entrenched problems, from fixing the immigration system to closing the inequality gap. But if the fallout from Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's forthcoming address to Congress is any indication, partisanship can be a pretty useful tool when it comes to upending

When Voters Don’t Want Anyone to Be President
From the CenterThere was a time in American politics in which voters chose their candidates based on whom they held in the highest regard, weighing their options and making their selection based on which of their alternatives they held in higher regard and would perform more effectively in office. That era no longer exists.
We now live in an era of negative partisanship, in which

When Congress Can Help Us Help Them
From the CenterThe State of the Union address was once an official government proceeding in which both parties temporarily put aside their differences to hear the president offer his prognosis for the health of the nation. Last week, that solemnity and bipartisanship seemed very far away.
Instead, the address took on all the trappings of a campaign rally. Democrats repeatedly broke

Do Americans Have a ‘Collective Amnesia’ About Donald Trump?
Not all that long ago, many Americans committed hours a day to tracking then-President Donald J. Trump’s every move. And then, sometime after the riot at the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, and before his first indictment, they largely stopped.
They are having trouble remembering it all again.
More than three years of distance from the daily onslaught has faded, changed — and in some
