We're getting into the intricacies of Congress by differentiating between legislative processes and political punditry and emphasizing the need for deeper public understanding and media coverage beyond theatrics. Our conversation spans topics from specific congressional hearings to the challenges of media sponsorship, the reality of political tribalism, and the importance of community action and self-care in today's political climate.
