This Month @ The TNM - August 2025

Host Will Kacy takes on a piece of the independence question most people never think about: treaty succession. When a new state leaves a union it does not start with a blank slate, it either inherits or rejects the treaty obligations of its predecessor, and the United States has more than ten thousand treaties and agreements in force. How Texas handles that inheritance, Kacy explains, would shape its economy, borders, security, and sovereignty from the first day of independence.
