Why Congress

Philip A. Wallach
Tim CarneyTim Carney

Everyone knows Congress is broken. Too many politicians and media think the solution is just handing the lawmaking powers over to the executive or the judiciary. The real solution to a broken Congress will have to come from Congress, this new book argues. https://t.co/BNiHi0XW9a

Politics, my old boss Bob Novak said, is getting people to do the right thing for the wrong reasons. President Joe Biden's Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, which would like to be considered an apolitical body, has read the room https://t.co/aCUUvPkU6X

@dstipson @espiers Since American Grace by Robert Putnam, I have consistently found that high religious *attendance,* and not other aspects of religiosity yield good outcomes and pro-social behavior. Studies have shown this with guns, consistently.

I knew an old guy who had a joke he loved. Any time someone mentioned a book, story, or essay by George Orwell, he would say “that book/essay is positively Orwellian, if you ask me.” He probably did it with Kafka too.

I have been reading "The Price of Peace" by @zachdcarter. It's been an education, yes, but it's been a joy. Zach is an excellent writer who grips you with his storytelling prose. HuffPo let him go today, so buy his book. https://t.co/JJtFBhGKzS
