Democracies worldwide face unprecedented challenges, but a malfunctioning democracy does not mean it is doomed to autocracy, especially if pro-democracy actors act quickly to reverse course.

While Russia targets democracies in Europe - US is absent. I spoke to @ralexdc.bsky.social@kyivpost.comst.com about Russia's recent influence operations & impact on Moldova & Czech elections. US democracy retreat gifts Putin & harms US economy & security interests.

Thank you again @joelrm for the opportunity to join Making Sense of World to speak to the challenges facing American democracy, and to dissect Trump's retreat from values and human rights globally. Our democracy will wither on the vine unless Americans respond to the growing threats.
Political violence is a threat to the safety & security of Americans & democracy. My @brookings.edu piece addresses the rise of political violence, harassment & intimidation. We recommend tools/strategies to combat, prevent, respond to this growing threat. www.brookings.edu/articles/pol...
The longer an autocrat is power the harder it is to restore democracy. Joined @joelmrubin.bsky.social Making Sense of the World to discuss democratic decline under Trump, 26' mid-term elections & consequences to Americans of corruption and poor governance. www.thesirennetwork.com/p/american-d...

This week on Making Sense of the World, @jondkatz.bsky.social and I dove deep into the state of democracy globally - particularly the concerning speed & consequences of democratic decay in the U.S.
USAID has been an integral multi-year US tool to advance global health, development & bolster our security. Trumps USAID closure risks millions of lives, jeopardizes humanitarian aid efforts & cripples US soft power. Great to speak w/@viewpointsradio.bsky.social. viewpointsradio.org/from-soft-po...

Six months into new administration US democracy is teetering but not dead. Joined @powervertical.bsky.social to discuss state of US/global democracy & @brookings.edu 25' Democracy Playbook & confronting [email protected] tehhttps://www.powervertical.org/2025/07/18/the-cold-war-within/
If the old Cold War was was fought between states, the new Cold War is being fought within states. On The Power Vertical Podcast, I speak with Jonathan Katz of The Brookings Institution & Corina Rebegea of the Accountability Lab to discuss its dynamics. www.powervertical.org/2025/07/18/t...
Thx @powervertical.bsky.social for the opportunity to join this discussion. The same efforts to tear apart democracies from within are connected to a growing global autocratic network. Democracies & democracy actors have the tools to strengthen, preserve, & renew democracy despite the challenges.
Democracy is imperiled in the U.S. & globally—but democratic actors can stop backsliding. On @brookings.edu Democracy in Question with @kdunntenpas.bsky.social I delve into the 2025 Democracy Playbook, discuss the 7 pillars to defend domestic and global democracy. www.brookings.edu/articles/how...

Excited to attend @globsec.bsky.social Forum 2025 w/ @brookings.edu@normeisen.bsky.social. Ready to engage w/leaders on transatlantic alliance future, evolving threats & policy responses to challenges. This dialogue is critical w/democracy in balance globally
I joined Up First with @npr.org Fatma Tanis to discuss the WH recission package and the dangerous DOGE cuts Trump wants Congress to cement. There are real harms to U.S. national security & global leadership associated with the permanent loss of these funds to USAID. www.npr.org/2025/06/04/1...
