Robert Reich | Why the Shake-Up at the Democratic National Committee Is Doomed
Robert Reich, Robert Reich's Blog
Reich writes: "Purging the DNC of top officials won't remedy the DNC's problems. Those problems aren't attributable to individuals who didn't do their jobs. To the contrary, those individuals probably fulfilled their responsibilities exactly as those jobs were intended to be done."

Carimah Townes, ThinkProgress
Townes writes: "To date, there are no nationally-enforced guidelines for how to safeguard children present during an arrest or police standoff.
