Tune in for our latest podcast episode “Unprecedented” with Mark, Josh, and Matt.

Congress and appropriations reporter Jenn Shutt joins Laura to wrap up the year: appropriations, international supplemental funding, NDAA and what’s unprecedented, unusual -and usual- about this year. Shutt notes that the House has been “building the rollercoaster as they’re riding it”.

Matt, Mark, and Josh discuss the Speaker’s election, the CR dilemma, and a few other odds and ends.

To quote Steny Hoyer, “I don’t know what’s going on but I object.” Matt and Josh discuss the House of Representatives in October 2023, the GOP speakership vote, Speakers Pro Tempore, and more.

Mark and Josh talk with Professor Tony Madonna about Kevin McCarthy’s unusual speakership, among other things. Tony is an Associate Professor of Political Science at the University of Georgia and author of numerous studies of House and Senate procedure.  

Laura and Josh talk with Georgetown Professor Michele Swers about abortion politics after the Supreme Court’s Dobbs decision and a bit of Nancy Pelosi’s speakership.
