Volunteering has always been central to Americans’ proud tradition of self-government. Now, it faces cultural headwinds. Membership in civic organizations has declined, writes Stephen Eide on.wsj.com/4g3TExo
It would be comforting to ignore “Luigi: The Musical,” yet Luigi Mangione now has not only explainers, defenders and admirers, but also imitators, writes @jackbutler4815. Read more: on.wsj.com/3St5KpW
The Senate Judiciary Committee unanimously advanced legislation last week that would require TV cameras in Supreme Court proceedings. When the legislation comes to a full vote, Senators should keep cameras out, writes @BenSasse on.wsj.com/4b7riyJ
Legislative atrophy is a problem. But I’ll take a legislature that refrains from passing bad laws over a legislative tyranny, writes @jackbutler4815 on.wsj.com/4eEY8rE
Middle children don’t have a great reputation. Pop culture often portrays them as awkward misfits or risk-taking rebels, but there’s a flip side. Their relative openness to risk can also make them more innovative, writes @MJ_Koch on.wsj.com/43WeOWT
Is Samuel Alito right that the culture is totally mellow about the rise in marijuana use? Not from where I’m sitting. Adults openly sip beer and wine in places where nobody would dream of lighting up a joint, writes @MattHennessey on.wsj.com/4g1WHGn
Dan Moraff believes that Graham Platner is a mirror held up to voters. How poorly he must think of them. J.D. Vance suggests that you have to be at least a little vulgar to get through to the common man. It isn’t complimentary, writes @jackbutler4815 on.wsj.com/4esPpKE
Political leaders and transit experts keep proposing supposedly visionary rail projects that, history shows, will likely become underutilized money pits, writes @jamesbmeigs on.wsj.com/44pZKRr
We take it for granted today that all men are created equal, but in 1776 it was a revolutionary idea. That it took time for our political process to expand the franchise to all men and women doesn’t obviate that achievement, writes @MeghanGurdon on.wsj.com/4gBVuWm
If the rising generation embraces a culture of ingratitude and rejection, American exceptionalism will fade into history. No one should want to inhabit such a future, writes @continetti on.wsj.com/4xJSkGh
As I zip-tied the bunting to the iron railing around my patio this weekend, I caught a fleeting sense of what the holiday house obsessives must feel. We’re giving them the old razzle dazzle with a side of Yankee Doodle sizzle, writes @MattHennessey on.wsj.com/4waXhGG
AI hasn’t walked in your shoes. It hasn’t experienced life’s blisters and bruises, which are what build character and judgment. All it can do is regurgitate script it’s been trained on, writes Allysia Finley on.wsj.com/3QZ1q1h
Where you fall in your family tree doesn’t necessarily dictate your personality for the rest of your life. But kids acquire roles and responsibilities in relation to each other that can shape who they are as adults, writes @MJ_Koch on.wsj.com/4eDPt8S
A decade after the British voted to leave the European Union, the U.K. is buckling under extremist politics, an immigration crisis and a crippling budgetary crunch. Did Brexit break Britain? asks @DrDominicGreen on.wsj.com/4y390sD
The best way for politicians to appeal to voters now, especially those considered “normal” or “working-class,” is apparently to assume the worst of them, writes @jackbutler4815 on.wsj.com/4eJF5N3
Nobody knows less about reflecting pools and algae blooms than I do. But I do know a political distraction when I see one, writes @MattHennessey on.wsj.com/4vsbAql
I wonder if it is becoming impossible to sustain patriotism—a thing of loving sincerity—in an age dominated by mockery and sarcasm, writes @MeghanGurdon on.wsj.com/4uXb6rd
Jeremy Clarkson proves in every “Clarkson’s Farm” episode that the secret to later life is finding something you love and devoting yourself to it, writes @rkylesmith on.wsj.com/3QjiL4V
If you’re thinking about decking the halls this Independence Day, let me humbly suggest that now is the time to round up your ribbons and bows, writes @MattHennessey on.wsj.com/4w69DQi
