By now, we have all seen the video: the raucous school boys, the dancing, the jeering, the chopping, the chanting, the drumming, and the face-off.

With the United States officially entering into the second month of the longest government shutdown in history, much has been made about partisanship in American politics.

People like to argue over whether or not Martin Luther King. Jr was a Republican or a Democrat. In truth, when you look at it his words and actions, his mission went beyond partisan politics.

San Diego, Calif.- Congresswoman Susan Davis was one of the members entangled in the President Trump/House Speaker Nancy Pelosi feud over the government shutdown and cancelled overseas trip.

President Trump cancelled the delegations overseas trip at the last minute while the government is partially shutdown.

Gretchen Bakke thinks a lot about power—the kind that sizzles through a complex grid of electrical stations, poles, lines and transformers, keeping the lights on for tens of millions of Californians who mostly take it for granted.

They shouldn’t, says Bakke, who grew up in a rural California town regularly darkened by outages. A cultural anthropologist who studies the consequences of institutional failures, she says it’s unclear whether the state’s aging electricity network and its managers can handle what’s about to hit it.
