"If you are looking to have a significant surgical procedure, you're probably going to do it in America," says Lanhee Chen. "Yet we have a health care system that produces unreasonably high rates of infant mortality." TONIGHT 8:30 pm ET @PBS.org listings: to.pbs.org/39hI6Tf

Polling that Andrew Ross Sorkin found while researching "1929" suggests it was President Hoover’s opposition to repealing Prohibition rather than concerns about the economy that doomed his 1932 reelection bid. "[Hoover] could have reversed himself .. and then I wonder whether he would have won."

Of the 12,000 amendments that have been proposed, the Constitution has only been amended 27 times since the founding of America. Did the founders intend for it to be so hard? “They disagreed on this question,” said Jeffrey Rosen, CEO Emeritus of the @constitutionctr.bsky.social.

Voters should put the onus on members of Congress to reassert their power, says Philip Wallach. "I think we as citizens should all remember that these legislators can make this institution what they decide for it to be."

“Legislators see themselves first and foremost as team players for their parties, not as members of the first branch,” says AEI’s Philip Wallach. Republicans have “made it quite clear that they don't see their job as placing limits on the president,” adds @oonahathaway.bsky.social.

"Dispatches from Grief" author Danielle Crittenden acknowledges she has learned something from suffering, but she rejects the "happiness hucksters" who insist grief is a gift. "It does make you, I think, a bigger and better person. But as a gift, I would happily return it."

What would happen if a president chose to defy a ruling by the #SupremeCourt? "Our democracy and our Constitution would be in danger,” Justice Anthony Kennedy told Margaret Hoover last fall.

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.”

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."

"What it takes to change politics is for young people to get involved, to do the hard work, and to play their role in the system," says Oona Hathaway, citing last fall's NYC mayoral race as an example. And Philip Wallach argues Gen Z can help fix a political system that is driving Americans apart.

There’s always money for Trump’s vanity projects, but somehow never enough for anything that actually helps the American people. And don’t get it twisted, this isn’t “government spending.” It’s legalized theft. This is looking more like dictatorship, so what's the point of having Congress?

In the realm where dreams are woven into lines, an artist's hand becomes a conduit for the intangible to take shape. With each stroke of graphite or ink, worlds come alive upon the canvas or paper, a delicate dance of creation guided by the heart's rhythm. Through the motion of hand and the gaze ...
