SoRelle highlighted how polls are showing significant support for student-debt relief among Democrats and Independents.

“In a recent discussion with WWL First News, Professor Bruce Jentleson provided a detailed account of the tragic attacks in Israel on October 7, 2023. He traced the historical context leading up to these events, including developments over the past year and the broader conflict since Israel’s creation. He commented on Israel’s recent attack on members of Hezbollah, where they used exploding pagers to take out members of the organization in a surprise attack. He noted that this attack is bound to lead to further escalation: “This is not a [comment] on who is right and who is wrong, this is just hardheaded strategy that is making Israel less secure.”

“In a commentary for Foreign Policy, Professor Peter Feaver analyzed the growing politicization of the U.S. military. He warned of the dangers this trend poses to both national security and democratic stability, urging for depoliticized military leadership and greater civilian oversight to maintain institutional integrity. Feaver discusses how presidential campaigns have politicized the military for years, but he argues that it is time to end this trend. He noted that this behavior “damages the military’s status as a nonpartisan institution that will support civilian control no matter who wins the presidency.”
