## Resource

What happens when a congressional hearing becomes a social media performance instead of a search for answers? Todd examines a fiery exchange between Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Representative Sydney Kamlager-Dove during a House Foreign Affairs Committee hearing, highlighting how political theater often replaces meaningful oversight. Todd also explores the growing lack of civic education in America, the constitutional roles of government, the dangers of political tribalism, and why understanding our republic matters as the nation approaches its 250th birthday. Plus, thoughts on free speech, accountability, and the cold civil war dividing modern American politics.
