The best part of the FIRST STEP Act that everybody misses
The FIRST STEP Act will come up for a vote in the Senate this week, bolstered by bipartisan support for reducing sentences for nonviolent offenders. Much of the fanfare around the bill misses its biggest contribution to cutting crime, saving money, and improving lives: a commitment of $250 million over 5 years for training and education programs. If and when the FIRST STEP Act takes effect, the… → Read More
Christians are dying in Nigeria, and Trump can do something about it
This week, a high-level State Department convoy will arrive in Nigeria to discuss combating Boko Haram – and the forthcoming delivery of fighter jets that will aid the Nigerian government in this fight. However, talk of weapons and Boko Haram alone would be a missed opportunity. The trip to Nigeria also carries a chance to convey the importance of protecting religious minorities from persecution… → Read More

Nike's Colin Kaepernick ad was cold and calculated — that says something about America
An iconic brand like Nike does nothing on a whim. They focus-grouped their Colin Kaepernick ad. They tested it. They asked sample audiences. And based on what they learned, they launched an ad campaign that they knew would alienate a lot of people. The results of their testing told them that using Kaepernick, along with the word "sacrifice," would be financially worth it. → Read More

The NSA routinely fails to protect privacy, but no one is fixing it
Last week, very quietly, the National Security Agency's Office of the Inspector General released a report on the agency that should concern us all. In it, the IG finds that the NSA routinely fails to keep data safe. Just prior to the report’s publication, the world learned that Russian hackers infiltrated hundreds of power grids. “They got to the point they could have thrown switches,” a… → Read More
To understand NATO and Trump's frustrations, follow the money (to Russia)
Hidden underneath this week’s NATO negotiations lies a pipeline that delivers more than 50 billion cubic meters of crude oil from Russia to Germany annually.

Last year, more than half of Germany’s gas came from Russia, to the tune of $10 billion paid to Gazprom – a Kremlin-owned energy company. → Read More
