Summary

Republican leaders are entering yet another legislative gauntlet, with just a couple of weeks to pass a pair of high-profile bills despite a badly divided House Republican Conference, frustrated GOP senators and an itchy White House. Anna and Jake break down the latest on DHS funding, FISA and the SAVE America Act. Plus, Sen. John Fetterman’s (D-Pa.) voting record is fueling speculation that he could switch parties or leave the Democratic Party. Watch this episode on YouTube here!
