"If we start mixing the fake money with the real money, all hell will eventually break loose." Filmmaker @benmckenzie.bsky.social warns allowing cryptocurrency to become entwined with the traditional banking system without sufficient regulation could lead to another financial crisis.

Former Defense Secretary Jim Mattis reflects on how George Washington embodied Stoicism. “He listens with the willingness to be persuaded. He quiets himself down, tones down his temper, and he learns,” says Mattis. “That is a man in control of himself.”

"Legislators see themselves first and foremost as team players for their parties," says Philip Wallach. "They don't see their job as placing limits on the president," says @oonahathaway.bsky.social. "They see their job as enabling him." TONIGHT 8:30 pm ET @pbs.org listings: to.pbs.org/39hI6Tf

"When the cameras go on and the recorders start recording, it is hard, I think, for Republicans and Democrats to come together and even agree on basic things," says health care policy expert Lanhee Chen. "Because compromise is not seen as a good thing as we sit here in 2026."

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.”

"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.

“Our immigration policies are undermining supply of labor in a lot of different areas, including and particularly health care,” says Lanhee Chen. What has made the American health care system “the finest in the world…is that we have been able to train and retain talent from around the world.”

"Democracy depends on a discourse that is thoughtful, reasoned, respectful, searching, inspirational," says Justice Anthony Kennedy. "You can't have that discourse if you're attacking other people because of their political identity." Follow on Apple: bit.ly/4heC73U

Yale Law School Prof. @oonahathaway.bsky.social said in Feb. the Supreme Court has become "extremely partisan in a way that we haven't seen... in my lifetime." "Big question is, are they going to apply the same limitations to President Trump that they applied to President Biden?" bit.ly/4vdQmN0

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.”

RFK Jr. is a conspiracy theorist with zero medical qualifications. His hostility towards vaccines and cuts to HHS research funding are pushing scientific breakthroughs further into the future, making our public health worse off. I've said it before and I'll say it again: He should resign.

As we wrap up MLK Day, we're reminded that voting rights were not freely given — they were fought for and defended through the civil rights movement. For @lisadtrice.bsky.social, that history is personal. Her parents taught her that voting is not only a right, it's a duty.
