At the end of the Obama administration, following Russia’s alleged cyberattack campaign and intrusions at two state election offices, DHS designated election systems as "critical infrastructure," on par with hospitals and the power grid. In making its designation, DHS created a new election subsector under the existing government facilities sector, one of the 16 critical infrastructure sectors. Sectors and subsectors are managed through coordinating councils, which include representatives from affected critical infrastructure operators, technical experts and consulting federal agencies. DHS and state officials will meet several times in the next few weeks to begin planning an election security coordinating council, Jenkins said at the NIST meeting. “We’re starting to engage with them more robustly.” The department will spend the next few months showing state election officials how coordinating councils work in the private sector, Jenkins said.

  • Sarah Kendzior: That Jared and Ivanka's Activity in Office
    Gaslit Nation Transcript 22 April 2020 “Blood Money Brigade” Sarah Kendzior: That Jared and Ivanka's activity in office has abated enemies of America, like Russia, or states rife with human rights violations, like Saudi Arabia, has proven irrelevant to media personalities seeking to normalize them. After all, many of these media personalities are themselves the sons and daughters of the rich and powerful. The new American economy runs on purchased merit, and now we bear the consequences on a national security level. Adult children of authoritarian leaders are useful in multiple ways. First, they tend to be trustworthy confidantes in regimes rife with paranoia, as corrupt authoritarian states are. Sarah Kendzior: Second, they're excellent vessels for laundering money. Creating enough distance, the assets stolen from the state are harder to track. Third, they tend to have a warmer public profile which offsets the brutality of the dictator by distracting the population with pictures of their happy families or glamorous lifestyle. Fourth, a dynastic kleptocracy is the most reliable way to keep assets stolen from the state in the family. It therefore falls upon the authoritarian ruler to legitimize his offspring as successors should he be forced to leave office. Sarah Kendzior: For 40 years, Trump hobnobbed with elites from media, business, politics, and entertainment, and then with their offspring, as those professions became dominated by nepotism. In 2016, when Trump's "grab them by the pussy" Access Hollywood outtakes were released, America was introduced to what I have called the Billy Bush Principle: For every asshole, there is an equal and opposite asshole.

  • When Do Peaceful Protesters Support Political Violence in the United States?
    When do peaceful protesters support political violence in the United States? Michael T. Heaney University of Glasgow [email protected] Paper presented at the 116th Annual Meeting of the American Political Science Association, held in San Francisco, California, and virtually, September 10‐13, 2020. Abstract: Political violence has become an increasingly salient element surrounding peaceful protests in the United States in recent years. This study examines the attitudes of peaceful protesters towards various conceptions of political violence. Drawing on surveys of participants at major protest events in Washington, DC in 2017 and 2018, it shows that protesters are more inclined to endorse the use of violence for political purposes when they are less satisfied with the way that democracy works in the United States. They are also more likely to support violence when they are identified with the left side the ideological spectrum than when they are identified with the right side of the spectrum. These views are reversed when protesters themselves are the target of violence. In this instance, the interaction of democratic satisfaction and ideology helps to explain attitudinal variations. Keywords: Political violence, protest, social movements, satisfaction with democracy, ideology, United States Acknowledgments: This study was supported by funding from the National Institute for Civil Discourse and, at the University of Michigan, the Institute for Research on Women and Gender, the Undergraduate Research Opportunity Program, the National Center for Institutional Diversity, and the Organizational Studies Program. For helpful suggestions, thanks are owed to Chris Carman, Vince Hutchings, and seminar participants from the Glasgow Quantitative Methods Group. This research would not have been possible without the involvement of the many research assistants, surveyors, and survey respondents that are too numerous to be named individually.

  • Clive Vignola Ruder Master T
    Abstract The purpose of this thesis is to research Jimmy Fallon’s audience’s relationship with democracy through the jokes he makes during a political crisis. Looking at previous research such as Christie Davies Jokes and Targets, suggests that more jokes being made about politics illustrate dissatisfaction with the political system. Also, that the jokes themselves can lead to an understanding of how people relate to their political system. This thesis will go through different available theories, such as superiority, incongruity and release, on why people laugh. Not only that, the thesis will also go through semantic script theory of humor in order to be able to constitute what is and is not a joke. This same theory will also give the tools necessary to go into more depth with each individual joke. To assess what those jokes actually mean, Framing Theory as specified by George Lakoff. Through that, I will be able to better assess the meaning of the jokes being made and what they mean, which will be used to answer the problem formulation. This entire process will show that the jokes do not show an overtly negative view on democratic institutions on a whole. That said, there are jokes that criticize some aspects of democracy that perhaps need improvement. Also, it also suggests that Trump has become or is becoming an example of what a president should not be. 1 Contents Introduction .................................................................................................................................................. 5 What’s
