Rachel Van Houten, with the Larimer County League of Women Voters, presents the basics of America's form of government. This program was presented at the Old Town Branch of the Poudre River Public Library District as part of their adult program series, Civics @ Your Library.

U.S. Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump questioned whether his Democratic rival Kamala Harris is ‘Black’ during a contentious interview at the country's largest annual gathering of Black journalists on Wednesday. Despite this new line of attack, pollster Paul Murray says the race is ‘much closer’ than it was before President Joe Biden dropped out.

In which John Green teaches you about the United States Constitution. During and after the American Revolutionary War, the government of the new country operated under the Articles of Confederation. While these Articles got the young nation through its war with England, they weren't of much use when it came to running a country. So, the founding fathers decided to try their hand at nation-building, and they created the Constitution of the United States, which you may remember as the one that says We The People at the top. John will tell you how the convention came together, some of the compromises that had to be made to pass this thing, and why it's very lucky that the framers installed a somewhat reasonable process for making changes to the thing. You'll learn about Shays' Rebellion, the Federalist Papers, the elite vs rabble dynamic of the houses of congress, and start to find out just what an anti-federalist is.

Founding Fathers debated over how to govern the new nation, beginning with the Articles of Confederation: https://www.commonlit.org/text....s/articles-of-confed
When the Founding Fathers finally wrote the Constitution, they realized that they needed to add The Bill of Rights to get citizens on board with the new government: https://www.commonlit.org/texts/the-bill-of-rights

Article II of the United States Constitution allows for three separate branches of government (legislative, executive, and judicial), along with a system of checks and balances should any branch get too powerful. Belinda Stutzman breaks down each branch and its constitutionally-entitled powers.

Historian David Eisenbach examines America's two party system, from Republicans and Democrats to some of the fringe parties.

How Republicans won Michigan, how they lost it, and what it all tells us.

The “blue wall” once referred to a group of Northeast, Midwest, and West Coast states that, conventional wisdom said, “always vote for Democrats.” Unfortunately for Democrats, that was wrong, and in 2016 Donald Trump shockingly won three “blue wall” states — including, narrowly, the state of Michigan.

It maybe shouldn’t have been such a shock, though. All three of the “blue” states Trump won actually had a history of electing Republicans at the state level. Michigan in particular had been fully taken over since 2010 by Republicans, who then spent years gutting unions, restricting abortion, loosening environmental protections, and generally just turning a Republican policy wish list into law. So Trump winning Michigan was, in a way, just the culmination of a years-long drift to the right there.

But by 2022, something had changed dramatically. In a midterm election where Republicans were favored, Democrats won every branch of elected government in Michigan — governor, state House, and state Senate. The state Senate in particular had not been under Democratic control since 1984. And Democrats got busy using their new power immediately: repealing much of the right-wing legislation of the previous years, passing strong LGBTQ protections, quadrupling a tax credit for the poor, and allocating a billion dollars for the auto industry to transition to electric cars. Suddenly Michigan was cranking out more progressive legislation than almost any other state in the US.

So to recap: Michigan was once a blue state, except it wasn’t actually, and in fact over time it got pretty red, but then it became an actual blue state. (Again?) Or something like that. Obviously, the truth is that Michigan is a swing state. But the story of each of those swings is actually key to understanding how US politics work in the 2010s and 2020s. And it can tell us a lot about our next election, too.

0:00 The blue wall
2:42 Maps
4:52 The bellwether
9:51 Exit polls
13:08 2022
15:43 Michigan and the US

Correction: the timeline incorrectly shows Republicans winning control of the state House in 2006. Democrats won the House that year.

The electoral system in the United States needs a redesign, says political reformer Andrew Yang. Exposing the flaws of a system built on poor incentives, he proposes a cost-effective overhaul inspired by primary elections already working in places like Alaska and advocates for ranked-choice voting, where voters can choose candidates in order of preference regardless of party, stemming the influence of extreme ideologies.

The filibuster started as an accident. Today it lets the losers rule Congress.

Become a Video Lab member! http://bit.ly/video-lab

The US Senate is supposed to pass laws. But today, it’s broken. And it’s broken because of something called the filibuster, which has been part of Senate tradition for over 200 years. But the filibuster came into being by accident. And today, some politicians are suggesting we should get rid of it entirely.

Journalist and commentator Brad Polumbo has expressed disappointment at American politics descending into “kindergarten” after both sides called out the presidential candidates as “weird”.

Mr Polumbo said it is “laughable” the most powerful people in America are going back and forth like children.

“It’s name-calling, juvenile insults, and it doesn’t even make sense because, let’s be honest, there are a lot of weird people in politics,” he told Sky News host Danica De Giorgio.

Earlier this week, while speaking at a gathering of Black journalists, former President Donald Trump questioned Vice President Kamala Harris’ racial identity. Laura Barrón-López speaks with Peniel Joseph, founding director of UT Austin’s Center for the Study of Race and Democracy, about the history of Black identity, race and racism in American politics.

Trump Speech Today | Trump Speech Live | Trump News | Trump Speech Today Live | Trump Live | N18G

Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump questioned whether his Democratic rival Kamala Harris is "Black" during a contentious appearance at the country's largest annual gathering of Black journalists on Wednesday (July 31).

"Is she Indian or is she Black?" Trump said of his opponent in the presidential race, drawing a smattering of jeers from an audience of about 1,000 people. "She was Indian all the way, and all of a sudden she made a turn and became a Black person."

Harris, whose mother was Indian and whose father is Black, is the first Black and the first Asian American U.S. vice president.

Far right and conservative accounts on social media have spread misinformation questioning Harris' racial identity.

Harris has long self-identified as both Black and South Asian American.

Since launching her White House campaign earlier this month, Harris has faced a barrage of sexist and racist attacks online, while Republican Party leaders have urged lawmakers to refrain from personal attacks and focus on her policy positions.

The panel interview started on a tense note, when ABC News reporter Rachel Scott asked Trump to explain why Black voters should support him despite a history of racist comments.

Trump's remarks have sparked discussions among political analysts and commentators.
