- Shadow Politics, July 3, 2022America on the Fourth, Where Do we stand?CONGRESSWOMAN ELEANOR HOLMES NORTONThe District of Columbia's Warrior on the HillCongresswoman Eleanor Holmes Norton (D-DC) speaks on Capitol Hill on July 23, 2020, in Washington, DC, about a bill which defied longstanding precedents in treating the District of Columbia as a territory instead of as a state for federal funding under the $150 billion coronavirus relief fund for states and territories, depriving DC of an estimated $750 million.Eleanor Holmes Norton is a lawyer, a mother, a writer and a fighter.And she's the District of Columbia's fiercest — and most effective — advocate.Now in her 15th term, Congresswoman Norton (D-DC) has been named one of the 100 most important American women and one of the most powerful women in Washington. The congresswoman's work for full democracy for the people of the District of Columbia continues her lifelong struggle for universal human and civil rights.Congresswoman Norton's many accomplishments include recommending federal judges, the US Attorney and other significant federal law enforcement positions for the District. Norton secures funding for the District of Columbia Tuition Assistance Grant Program, which helps pay for DC students to attend any public college or university in the United States and a unique $5,000 DC homebuyer tax credit, which sharply increased homeownership in the District. These are just a few of her many achievements.MESSAGE FROM UNITED STATES SENATOR MICHAEL D. BROWNOn the eve of our 246th Independence Day, Marília and I will speak with DC Congresswoman Eleanor Holmes Norton about what the Fourth of July holiday means to her, the Constitution of the United States, as well as the recent Supreme Court decisions supporting the open carry of guns, the overturning of Roe v.

- Shadow Politics, June 12, 2022Guest, Dr JON GRINSPAN, National Museum of American History, Smithsonian InstitutionJon Grinspan is the curator in the Division of Political and Military History at the National Museum of American History of the Smithsonian Institution.Jon Grinspan's new book, THE AGE OF ACRIMONY: How Americans Fought to Fix Their Democracy, 1865-1915, argues that the democracy we inherited from the 20th century was really an outlier, created to fix our politics the last time they broke. In the late 1800s Americans feared that the republic was dying, torn apart by vibrant but violent partisan political campaigns. This era was only ended by a revolution in political restraint around 1900. Over time we came to consider that civility normal, and view our current divisions as unprecedented, but really we have deep history of struggling to calm an ugly system.Grinspan studies the deep history of American democracy, especially the wild partisan campaigns of the 1800s. At the same time, Jon collects objects from current protests, conventions, elections and riots for the Smithsonian, to try to preserve our own heated moment for generations to come. Together, it involves a bit of time-traveling, explaining the past to the present and the present to the future.His first book, THE VIRGIN VOTE: How Young Americans Made Democracy Social, Politics Personal and Voting Popular in the Nineteenth Century, uncovered the forgotten history of the youth vote, to show that young men and women were once the most engaged, and sought after, demographic in American politics.MESSAGE FROM UNITED STATES SENATOR MICHAEL D. BROWNAuthor Jon Grinspan will speak with Marília and I about political acrimony in America. What does yesterday tell us about today? Is the 2021 insurrection somehow connected to the past? We'll talk about this and what our future may be going forward. Jan. 6th was not the first attack on the U.S. Capitol, but will it be the last?What, exactly, is history teaching us in this moment in time?Tune in for this important interview.

About Shadow Politics with US Senator Michael D Brown
From the publisher's feed
Shadow Politics is a grass roots talk show giving a voice to the voiceless. For more than 200 years the people of the Nation's Capital have ironically been excluded from the national political…
conversation. With no voting member of either house of Congress, Washingtonians have lacked the representation they need to be equal and to have their voices heard. Shadow Politics will provide a platform for them, as well as the millions of others nationwide who feel politically disenfranchised and disconnected, to be included in a national dialog. We need to start a new conversation in America, one that is more inclusive and diverse and one that will lead our great nation forward to meet the challenges of the 21st century. At Shadow Politics, we hope to get this conversation started by bringing Americans together to talk about issues important to them. We look forward to having you be part of the discussion so call in and join the conversation. America is calling and we're listening… Shadow Politics is about America hearing what you have to say. It's your chance to talk to an elected official who has spent more than 30 years in Washington politics. We believe that if we start a dialog and others add their voices we will create a chorus. Even if those other politicians in Washington don't hear you — Senator Brown will. He's on a mission to listen to what America has to say and use it to start a productive dialog to make our democracy stronger and more inclusive. If we are all part of the solution we can solve any problem.
