  1. Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-N.Y.) is openly clashing with House Speaker Mike Johnson over a provision she claims he blocked from the NDAA—one requiring the FBI to alert Congress when probing political candidates. Once a Trump ally and former GOP conference chair, Stefanik blames Johnson for blocking her nomination and is now threatening to derail the must-pass defense bill over her fight. Her push for transparency stems from her belief that the Russia and Trump probes are politically motivated. With Johnson’s narrow majority, her opposition could be pivotal—will she force a showdown or back down?

  2. There is more that unites Americans than divides us,
    for example, as Paul Rudnick wrote:
    "All Americans, on either side of the political divide,
    can agree on one thing:
    no one will invite Alan Dershowitz to a cocktail party."

  3. The BUDS Resolution is a promising step for bipartisan collaboration (tinyurl.com/yvbx6bxd). But deep partisan resistance & powerful executive actions (like using EOs to undermine laws, tinyurl.com/2abm7b6t) can derail progress. Procedural fixes aren't enough. 1Party champions real leadership for the common good.

  4. "…#Democrats’ unrequited pursuit of #bipartisanship can lead them to undermine their legislative initiatives. But the [#broadbandpolicy] story #EzraKlein shared absolutely doesn’t support the thrust of #Abundance or the themes of the wider #Abundancemovement.

    In fact, the takeaway from the broadband tale is that the biggest obstacles to efficiency and abundance are often #corporatepower and its #corruptinginfluence on our politics — factors typically downplayed or unmentioned in the Abundance Discourse."

  5. …Peters said he’s most proud of his record of #bipartisanship while in the #Senate. The nonpartisan Center for Effective Lawmaking ranked him the No.1 senator for effectiveness in the 116th & 117th #Congresses. In the 117th, he had 19 measures signed into #law, …& 10 in the 116th.

    …”every bill that I've got passed is because I've actually walked over to the #House, I've set up a meeting w/the Republican leader in that cmte, & I'll sit down & first build a relationship.….”
