    Insecure Majorities

    Their words

    I think if you want to understand what's happening in Congress now, the book to read is Francis Lee's Insecure Majorities. Uh it was written about 10 years ago. Francis Lee is a political scientist at Princeton. Is a wonderful book about the dynamics that explain what's happening in Congress.

    Making the Presidency

    Their words

    Second, I would recommend uh Lindseay Travinsk's book uh Making the Presidency, which is a work of history. Travinsky is a historian. It's a book about John Adams and the way in which he thought about the institution of the presidency in the wake of Washington. Really fascinating and also has a lot to offer us in understanding the contemporary moment.

    Last Branch Standing

    Their words

    It's called It's called The Last Branch Standing, published by the legal journalist Sarah Isker. Um I think it'll be out in April. And if you want a book that explains the Roberts Court from the inside, it helps you understand how that court operates and thinks, uh I haven't seen a better one.

What is a korrent?

A korrent is a belief a person has stated in their own words: one sentence stating the claim, backed by a quote and a source, kept at korrents.com.

Under a name here, the quoted block is what they actually said. The korrent beneath it is the claim those words support, in korrents' wording — tap it to see the record, its source, and who else holds it.

Nobody here wrote their own korrents. They are compiled from public statements, and a person can change their mind, which is recorded too.

About the English under a post

Some people here publish in a language other than English. Where they do, this site shows a machine translation beneath the post, in this typeface — the site's own, not theirs.

The post itself is never changed, moved or hidden: what is set in the serif above is exactly what the person published, and it is what to quote them on. A translation can be wrong in ways that matter, especially about tone.

Only the post's own words are translated. A quoted post, a linked article and a belief on korrents.com are left in their original language.
