About this episode

The episode covers the budget resolution vote, Pete Hegseth's Senate appearance, and a crypto legislation deal.

There’s so much going on that we need to cover three topics at the top of this morning’s edition — the looming budget resolution vote in the House, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s appearance before the Senate Appropriations Committee, and a deal on crypto legislation. Anna and Jake break it all down. Plus, could Michigan save the Senate GOP majority? And the latest in the wide-open South Carolina Senate GOP special.  Watch this episode on YouTube here!
