Summary
Congress is back after a two-week recess and has a lot on its agenda. The Department of Homeland Security is still shut down, and the war in Iran is ongoing, with the Strait of Hormuz — a critical passageway for 20% of the world’s oil — mostly closed off. NOTUS reporter Oriana González is joined by her colleagues Kadia Goba, Al Weaver, Anna Kramer and Joe Gould for a roundtable discussion on the news of the week. On NOTUS is a production of NOTUS, with marketing and production support from The Podglomerate. You can find more about NOTUS at notus.com/podcast and follow us @notusreports. NOTUS is a newsroom like no other: a mix of veteran reporters and editors working with some of the country’s most promising up-and-coming reporters — individuals from different regions, backgrounds and beliefs who have come to Washington as fellows at the Allbritton Journalism Institute. Together, we cover government and politics with the fresh eyes of newcomers and the expertise of veterans. We call it like we see it, no matter whose narrative it fits or how many clicks it will get.
