Separating the Commander in Chief from the War

Beth is joined by Rep. Greg Landsman to discuss the role of Congress, the decision to strike Iran, and why we need a Department of AI. Plus, they check in on their New Year's resolutions. 

Topics Discussed:

• What "being done" looks like and whether that's realistic with this president
• The difference between Iran and what's happening in Venezuela and Cuba
• Congress's role in military action and Landsman's 30-day War Powers Resolution
• Whether the 2026 midterms can actually constrain this administration
• The Anthropic/Department of Defense standoff and why Landsman wants a Department of AI
• New Year's resolution check-ins (gluten-free life, no-shopping challenges, and sleep studies)
