I love Heather Cox Richardson, and Andy Borowitz, and here they are together, for the first time.

Andy Borowitz interviews Heather Cox Richardson about what she sees happening with the Trump administration, SCOTUS, voting rights, the Electoral College, the Constitution, and democracy in the United States, in 2026 as we barrel toward midterm elections. Professor Richardson explains her thoughts through the lens of American history.

The average lifespan of a national constitution worldwide is just 17 years. Ours has lasted 235 years without major updates. That's remarkable endurance, but also shows why modernization matters. We can honor the founders' genius while adapting their framework for today's challenges. the1776.org #ConstitutionalReform #Civics #Democracy

The average state constitution is revised every 19 years, but our federal Constitution hasn't been substantially updated in over 150 years. Meanwhile, technology, society, and governance have transformed completely. It's time for We the People to draft a modern framework that serves all Americans in the 21st century. Join our National Advisory Panel at the1776.org. #ConstitutionalReform #CivicEngagement #ModernGovernance

Did you know the average lifespan of a national constitution worldwide is just 19 years? Our Constitution has served us for 235+ years — a testament to its brilliance, but also a sign it may need thoughtful updates for modern challenges. The 1776 believes We the People can craft those updates through a transparent, citizen-driven process. Join our National Advisory Panel at the1776.org and help shape America's constitutional future. #ConstitutionalReform #CivicEngagement

Our founders were brilliant, but they couldn't foresee the internet or a global economy. It's time for We the People to draft a modern framework that honors our founding principles while addressing today's challenges. Join our National Advisory Panel to help shape America's constitutional future. #ConstitutionalReform #ModernGovernance #WeThePeople

Maybe kiwis need to accept that the NZ government is just fucked, give up on it, and work with whānau, hapū and iwi to reconstitute the country's governance arrangements from scratch? Stop buying into the badly cloned version of the British government that claims total sovereignty here.

My reading of Te Tiriti in the context of He Whakaputanga is that it formally recognises Ngāti Pākeha as an iwi. Maybe we need to start acting like one?
