Reason Senior Editor Stephanie Slade joins Nick Gillespie to discuss the future of the American right after Donald Trump, and whether libertarians will have a place in it. In Fusionism: Liberty, Virtue, and the Future of the American Right, Slade argues that the political philosophy espoused by National Review co-founder Frank Meyer remains a vibrant synthesis of the liberty prized by libertarians and the virtue that is central to conservatives and traditionalists. Slade and Gillespie discuss th

This December, selective service registration for eligible young men becomes automatic nationwide. This might not seem like a big deal, as it merely automates an already mandatory process that many states had in place. Rather than requiring men to register online or by mail, the government will use existing databases, such as Social Security records, to add men ages 18 to 26 to a pool of candidates if conscription becomes necessary. Rep. Chrissy Houlahan (D–Pa.) said the move will save "taxpayer

Now the former PM is resigning as an MP, why did I have such high hopes?Keir Starmer exits the British political stage as he entered it: doing the exact opposite of the thing he said he was going to do. It’s only 10 weeks since he pledged to remain as MP for Holborn and St Pancras until the next election, despite stepping down as prime minister. That’s plainly the decent course of action: a dedicated Labour man wouldn’t w
