When Congress Actually Gets Something Done
Can a new Congress learn old tricks?
After years of Capitol Hill gridlock driven by increased suspicion, hostility and polarization, it may be fitting that the final legislative agreement of the hyper-partisan Trump administration required an act of transcendent bipartisanship.

These days, if you call for something like universal child care, conservatives accuse you of wanting to turn America into the Soviet
