About this episode
The episode discusses significant political events of the week, including the revival of FISA, the reopening of DHS, and the passage of a farm bill by the House.
What a wild week this was. FISA is revived (for now), DHS reopened after a 75-day shutdown and the House passed a farm bill — even if it will die in the Senate. Congressional Reporter Max Cohen is back with Jake to discuss where things still stand going into recess. Plus, the House Democrats who are in line to lead committees if Dems win the House majority.
