Ben Sasse: The Senate should be boring #shorts

Summary

The speaker argues that the U.S. Senate has become too focused on performative media moments and soundbites, rather than its core purpose of deliberative governance. While supporting transparency and media presence, the critique centers on the negative impact of constant cameras and platforms that incentivize dramatic, quick-hit communication. The key recommendation is to return the Senate to a more measured, thoughtful, and trustworthy institution that prioritizes substantive policy discussion over theatrical political posturing.
