Reeher Discusses the Rise in Political Violence With Spectrum News
“I do think it's the case that this kind of political violence has been rising. ...There's just been a number of shootings and attacks, attempted assassinations in recent years, and it really, to be honest, it reminds me in a way of the 1960s. And I think in each instance there's probably similar forces behind it,” says Grant Reeher, professor of political science.

Mitra Quoted in New York Times Article on the US’s Relationship With India
“Right now, India feels that the U.S. is not a very reliable partner,” says Devashish Mitra, Gerald B. and Daphna Cramer Professor of Global Affairs. “They thought the U.S. was an ally. If India is moving towards China, it’s a friendship of convenience.”

Cleary Weighs In on Trump’s Deployment of Troops Domestically in HuffPost Article
“It is something that is done in other democracies when it really, really has to be done.

Schmeller Examines the Impact of Extravagant White House Renovations in The Hill Article
“Americans today may not regard luxury as inimical to republican virtue in the way that they did in 1840. But prolonged inflation or a recession could reawaken those attitudes. In that context, Trump’s tacky and risible affection for gilded moldings and glitzy ballrooms could become a serious political liability,” writes Mark Schmeller, associate professor of history.

Mitra Weighs In on Trump’s Tariff Threats to India in The Guardian Article

Haq Discusses the Trump-Putin Meeting in MSNBC Article
“After Trump and Putin met for more than two hours Friday, and then praised each other to the media for about 12 minutes, it was clear that Trump, in his rush to meet with Putin, not only risked whatever was left of his image as a dealmaker-in-chief, but he also may have damaged the United States’ image as a global champion for democracy,” writes Nayyera Haq, assistant dean for Maxwell-in-Washington.
