## Resource

This week on Simplifying the State , Adam and Nicholas dive into Biden’s last UN General Assembly speech, touching on everything from Ukraine to climate change. Then, we break down how the House barely avoided a government shutdown—again—and what it means for both parties. Finally, we look at the latest controversy rocking the North Carolina governor’s race. Spoiler alert: It’s not great for the GOP.
