Don't break Senate confirmations, EU may need Trump's 'tough love' and other commentary
Briefly

Max Stier argues that Trump’s request for Senate recess to bypass confirmations is a major abdication of its constitutional duty to provide advice and consent.
Stier points out that the current confirmation system is broken, leading to delays that discourage qualified nominees from serving and hinder the Senate's effectiveness.
He suggests that the solution isn't to circumvent the confirmation processes but rather to streamline them by reducing the number of positions needing confirmation and changing stalling rules.
Mead critiques Europe’s stagnation and security crisis, claiming Europe failed to establish a resilient economy or political framework suitable for the challenges of the 21st century.
