Resistance Brief 5.31.26

About this episode

The episode discusses the disparity between Congress's expectations of ordinary Americans and their own actions.

Congress wants a raise. Congress wants to keep its stock trading privileges. Congress left Washington early rather than take difficult votes. At the same time, older Americans are being told they must work or volunteer for food assistance. This video examines the growing gap between what Congress expects from ordinary Americans and what many members of Congress expect from themselves. Vic Meyers for Democracy This is a public episode.
