Great to join @anandwrites.bsky.social The Ink substack to talk about my new book STUCK and why it isn't enough to have a wave election in November. We have to unstick Congress so that the people we elect can actually govern and rein in executive abuse👇

"Congress was designed to be slow and deliberative, but even by the framers’ standards, it is not working properly," author of new book Stuck @kornbergmaya.bsky.social wrote in @washingtonmonthly.bsky.social. She writes about how Congress can strengthen itself to deliver for Americans.

Hope that a Wave of New Members in Congress Could Fix Broken Processes Primary challengers evoke the reform spirit of Watergate, but today’s Congress leaves junior members with little time, safety, or power to lead.

I just devoured this new book by @kornbergmaya.bsky.social now at Politics and Prose in DC

“When members cannot engage with their constituents, speak out on issues that matter to them, or vote their conscience without fear of violence, then American democracy suffers as a consequence.”
