I know many on both sides are positioning and strategizing for the next two years, with an eye toward getting more power in 2028. And I totally get it (some of that is normal and warranted).
However, I also think we still should at least TRY to find areas with enough common ground to advance common sense policy reforms, and do so now and in the new Congress come January.
You can't wait for a Congress or White House that perfectly aligns with your politics to get something done.
On the Defending Ideas podcast, @nicdunnutah argued that Congress can and should tackle welfare reform – a broadly popular policy that could help people – right now.
Americans don't want another two years of partisanship in Washington. They want results.
On the Defending Ideas podcast, Nic Dunn argued that divided government actually creates opportunities for lawmakers willing do things to make people's lives better, like welfare reform.

Divided government doesn't mean the work stops.

Want the jobs of the AI economy?
First, you have to power them.
AI is creating opportunities for electricians, engineers, and skilled workers. But without reliable, affordable energy, those jobs won't materialize.

Bears Ears and Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument designations have flip-flopped with each new administration. Executive orders may provide a temporary win for one side, but they clearly don’t provide the lasting, consensus-based solution that legislation does. We resolved public land disputes in Emery County through legislation, and with the right level of support, we can do it again in this region too.

There's a common notion that, because voters decided to split power in Washington between the major parties, most governing stops and both sides simply wait and position themselves for more power in 2028.
This idea is as flawed as it is exhausting. The "partisan ping-pong" will just continue, and American families eager for better public policy (especially those stuck in poverty desperate for reform that brings the American Dream within reach) will bear the cost - unless we change our mindset.
On this week's Defending Ideas for @SutherlandInst, I make a pitch to Congress, the White House, and all of you: search for areas where there is enough common ground to advance meaningful policy reform.
I know... pipe dream, right? It's actually possible - and necessary - if we want the American Experiment of constitutional self-government to continue.
I explain how, and why social safety net reform is the best place to start, in the full episode below.

Can Congress still get meaningful things done with a divided government?
On this special episode of Defending Ideas, @nicdunnutah explains why there is an opportunity now for Republicans and Democrats to reform America's social safety net and help people build better lives.

Behind every Utah Fits All Scholarship is a family with a story.
Joshua was diagnosed with a rare brain cancer a couple of years ago. The financial strain on his family was enormous. But the scholarship helped him stay in school. #utpol

We wouldn't say freedom of speech means you can speak only inside your home. So why do we sometimes treat religious freedom that way? Sutherland Institute's Bill Duncan explains why religious liberty includes the freedom to put faith into practice, even in politics.
