A weekly roundup of The New Republic’s political reporting | The far right is weaponizing a doctrine that granted rights and liberties in order to snuff out the citizenship of anyone who isn’t a white man. |

| On February 12, we are producing an important event to help you prepare for Trump 2.0. Livestreamed from Washington, D.C., it will gather top minds in politics and culture determined to mitigate the possible damages of a second Trump term. |

| The oligarchs’ bet that the president-elect would retreat on promises that might mess with their wealth is paying off. |

| The president-elect says he’ll pardon January 6 rioters, many of whom assaulted police at the U.S. Capitol that day. Why won’t the unions condemn it? There’s a simple answer. |
| Democrats of all stripes—including Bernie Sanders and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez—are pledging to find common ground with Trump and the Republicans, in the mistaken belief that voters will reward them for it. |
| It’s a much sweeter deal. More social mobility, more representative government, plus everybody gets health care. |
| The immigration bill the Senate is taking up has some horrible provisions. With worse on the way, Democrats should not be caving like this. |

|
| With their green, rolling hills and mild climates, Ireland and Northern Ireland are particularly beautiful in the spring. Join a tour of the region through a unique "dual narrative" perspective, with Catholic and Protestant tour guides sharing their communities’ histories and stories, giving you insight into how peace was built and the hard work so many are still doing to sustain it today. |
