"'Right now, she’s being out-Mamdanied by a conservative outsider.'"
My latest -- on the super-progressive city council member who should have locked up the L.A. mayor's race months ago and her showdown with Mr. Reality TV.

🇺🇸 From the founding era to today, dissent has helped define the American experiment.
Our latest America 250 conversation explores protest, pluralism, and why disagreement remains essential to self-government.

While I’m reflecting on America 250 at the @JackMillerCtr National Summit in Philly, Erica is giving the opening keynote about our future — and all the rapid change it will bring — at the @onthinktanks conference in Morocco. Stay tuned for more soon!
What makes a think tank trustworthy in an age when AI can generate polished analysis, public trust is fragile, and evidence is often dismissed or politicized?
At #OTTConference2026 in Rabat, Morocco, R Street’s Erica Schoder will take up that question in her keynote, “The Knowledge in This Room.” Her focus is not just on what think tanks publish, but on how credible knowledge is actually formed through trust, collaboration, debate, experience, and institutional judgment. 🧠

"Will we protect individual liberty even when it risks political blowback?
Will we constrain executive power even when we might agree with its aims?
Will we defend institutional independence even when it's inconvenient?"

Great article in The Hill by @SL_Schaeffer:
Many Americans are rightly distrustful of institutions ... The response is recommitting to our foundational values and doing the hard work to ensure our leaders and institutions live up to them.

American liberal democracy isn’t guaranteed. Individual liberty, limited government, equality under the law, free & open society. The Constitution gives us the framework, but political & civic leaders must be willing to uphold them. My latest in @thehill:

We talk a lot at @RSI about collaboration, trust, and being “one team.”
This is what it looks like.
