We don’t need better saviors, we need better guardrails.
In my new piece for @JoinPersuasion, I explain why strengthening institutional guardrails is the surest way to protect liberal democracy, regardless of who wins the next election.

"The most serious threat to American pluralism is aimed not at the ballot box but at civil society, an often overlooked but essential feature of the American system of self-governance."

Universities aren’t just schools—they’re where free citizens learn the habits of self-government. When they surrender autonomy, we all lose.
In @LiberalCurrents, IHS President @ECWIHS explains why Harvard's resistance matters to the entire liberal order.
A university that must wait for political permission slips is no longer a university. It’s an instrument of the state.
That’s the risk we face now, and Harvard is on the front line.

The marketplace of ideas isn’t combat. It’s a contest—and contests, unlike wars, can make everyone better.
Disagreement doesn’t mean destruction. It's a chance to grow.

The president's tariffs aren’t just economically reckless—they betray the principles that gave birth to the US
They sidestep Congress, defy the Constitution,& abandon our commitment to free exchange & consent of the governed.

Markets and civil society rely on stable rules of the game. When government acts erratically, we’re much less likely to invest in America’s future.
