    Invasion of the Drones

    Yes, we talk about the drones over Jersey...we just couldn't help ourselves. But we also talk about the quiet but steady work of one GOP Congresswoman to combat China's bad trade practices, the annual year end pardon petitioning to the President, and the future of AOC in Democratic leadership. And finally, to conclude the Year's End Happy Hour, we bid adieu to the departing members on account of age--and spoiler, some of our favs are growing up!

    Gaetz Ain't The Only Cameo In Town

    Is The Mandate In The Details

    On this Happy Hour, the gang tackle what has become a resounding talking point on the Right: Did Trump really win by an overwhelming mandate? And what does this mean for all those swing states that voted for him but then voted for Democratic Senators like Ruben Gallego or Elissa Slotkin. And later in the episode, we talk about combating homelessness and the divisive return of trans-rights in the actually Capitol Building following the election of Congresswoman Sarah McBride.

    System Reboot

    And boy does it feel like our country has just undergone one of those! On this happy hour, Michael, Anna and Anthony discuss some of the new playlist "graduates" now looking at shiny new Cabinet roles, as well as who of our young leaders might fill those new House leadership vacancies and who the Dems aught to have as their "dream team" council as Anna puts it. It's an episode that hits the reset as we dive into the upcoming administration.
