  • Marshall Kosloff is a barrel of manic sentence fragments. Tune into The Realignment and listen as the barrel is tipped and poured into his microphone. Give it a try and if it works for you, you may become a fan.

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

595 | Ned Resnikoff: One Year In - Taking Abundance Back to Its Fundamentals
Q: What are the implications of abundance for bipartisanship?
Bipartisanship shouldn't be the starting goal; instead, it's about proposing concrete solutions that demonstrate clear benefits that can appeal across the aisle.
595 | Ned Resnikoff: One Year In - Taking Abundance Back to Its Fundamentals
Q: Can you contextualize YIMBYism and its significance?
YIMBYism began in San Francisco in the mid-2010s as a response to the city's housing shortage, pushing for more housing production and addressing supply constraints.
595 | Ned Resnikoff: One Year In - Taking Abundance Back to Its Fundamentals
Q: How do you identify within the variety of abundance?
I identify most with the leftmost variety, Red Plenty Abundance, though I describe myself as a social democrat.
588 | George M. Dougherty: Beyond "Unmanned": How Drones Are (and Aren't) Rewriting Warfare
Q: How should people in the Pentagon navigate the balancing dynamic between focusing on immediate threats versus future challenges?
Dougherty emphasizes the need for a sense of urgency and awareness of the changing nature of warfare, stressing that failure to adapt could leave the U.S. vulnerable to new threats.
586 | Oliver Libby: Strong Floor, No Ceiling - A Radical Moderate's Case for Reigniting the American Dream
Q: Why hasn't there been a clear alternative to the politics of MAGA?
Center-left leadership often avoids ideologically driven branding, resulting in a lack of coherent messaging compared to the strong narratives from the right.
