Yuval Levin, a senior fellow at AEI, says Congress has become "the most dysfunctional" branch of our government. "Congress is sitting on the sidelines watching it happen and functioning as a kind of commentariat rather than as the chief actor in the system."

The War Powers Resolution requires congressional approval to wage war, but “presidents have all sorts of ways of manipulating it,” says Philip Wallach. “Presidents of both parties have found if they initiate short actions, there's very little that Congress can do to really second guess them.”

Yale Law School Prof. @oonahathaway.bsky.social warns Congress risks becoming a "completely irrelevant institution" if it doesn't reassert power over matters like declaring war. "It needs to be willing to push back against the president, which right now this Congress is just not willing to do."

Actor and filmmaker @benmckenzie.bsky.social says “our current financial system sucks,” but crypto is not the answer to those grievances. “Crypto is in many ways just a get rich quick scheme…Crypto can't be anything other than, at best, a zero-sum game where for me to win, you have to lose.”

"Primaries have ended up being an anti-democratic element of our system," says AEI senior fellow Yuval Levin, "because they empower a very, very narrow sliver of the American people to make the essential first mover choice in our system." Follow on Apple: bit.ly/4d0WOi2

In “Everyone Is Lying to You for Money,” Ben McKenzie interviewed people who had been scammed by crypto—and yet they still believe in cryptocurrency. “For some of these guys, this was a major investment for them, not just financially, but mentally, psychologically. This was their ticket out."

If Congress doesn’t do its job, “you end up with something closer to a monarchy or a dictatorship,” says @oonahathaway.bsky.social. “The whole reason for the revolution was to reject that form of government…When the president is able to act without any checks from Congress, all of that goes away.”

Danielle Crittenden and David Frum's daughter Miranda died suddenly in 2024. In her new book, Crittenden grapples with her grief and remembers the daughter she lost. "She was brilliant...One of her friends said that he had never met in real life a person who was so casually witty."

The best way to comfort someone grieving is to lean into that pain, even if it means saying the wrong thing, says Danielle Crittenden, who wrote a new book about losing her daughter. “What you want are people to lean into the suck…and just to take your hand.”

Danielle Crittenden, who wrote a book about losing her daughter, expresses the frustration of coping with her daughter’s death in the digital age and accessing her old accounts. “Our digital lives outlast our physical ones,” says Crittenden.
