## Resource

In one day, Speaker Mike Johnson and House GOP leaders overcame Republican opposition to pass three major bills.

Anna and Jake discuss whether reconciliation 3.0 could slip to the lame duck. Plus, it’s finally showtime for the Clarity Act, but things are off to a bad start. Watch this episode on YouTube here!
