"We don't have civility in our public discourse and we must work to restore it," says Justice Anthony Kennedy. "The incivility that we see in our public life generally is creeping too much into the Court's opinions." TONIGHT 8:30 pm ET @PBS.org listings: to.pbs.org/39hI6Tf

"Congress has come to see itself as a secondary player in a fundamentally presidential drama, so that the question they always face in their own minds is a yes or no question about the president…," says Yuval Levin. "They have a real job to do."

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.”

“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.

"We are all protectors of our Constitution. All of us have that obligation...," says former Defense Secretary Jim Mattis at a @HooverInstitution.bsky.social event marking 250 years of American ideas and leadership. "Democracy is not a spectator sport."

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."

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."

The framers of the Constitution intended for the House of Representatives to regularly expand as the population grew, but that has not happened for over 100 years. “It's just a way to restore the logic of the system,” said Yuval Levin of AEI, who supports expanding the House by 150 members.

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."

Fmr. Defense Sec. Jim Mattis and Ryan Holiday discuss the value of understanding history in the military. “The idea of learning by trial and error is both arrogant and reckless,” says Holiday. “We turn to the past because the people in the past lived through situations like we're in right now.”

There was no ambition in the budget to end the free ride for big gas. And not only will the beer excise continue to raise more than the PRRT, the gap between them is growing! @grogsgamut.bsky.social @mattgrudnoff.bsky.social #auspol #Budget2026

The term “genocide” is a political slogan, not a proven legal judgment. The International Court of Justice has not declared Israel guilty of genocide, and no credible tribunal has issued such a verdict. The ICJ, World Court in The Hague, did not decide that the claim of genocide is plausible.
