Are screens, social media, ed tech, and AI reshaping childhood for the worse? This episode examines expert testimony to Congress on how screen time may be affecting kids' development and why some fear we're raising a generation of screen zombies @JenBriney https://t.co/O6by9yqY8s

In April Congress took a 2-week vacation, then returned to vote on Iran, Israel weapons sales, FISA surveillance, DHS funding, and mining near MN’s clean waters. This episode tracks the votes, scandals, resignations, deaths & laws that matter @JenBriney https://t.co/Sa2pRIeQav

In March, Congress took vacations during a DHS shutdown, didn’t check an unauthorized war with Iran, and passed just 2 bills—both honors for the dead. This episode breaks down a month of dysfunction—and its real consequences. @JenBriney https://t.co/266IJGIP8V

The SAVE Act & SAVE America Act are among Congress’s most searched—and most confusing—bills. What do they actually do? This episode breaks down why critics call them voter suppression, and what you can do now to protect your ballot. @JenBriney https://t.co/05vb1aiWPS

[Congressional Dish @CongressDish]

February’s “big win”: partial government funding—late and still incomplete. What did Congress actually deliver? This episode breaks down key provisions from war powers to everyday policy impacts. @JenBriney https://t.co/E1K1oWrXZh

January tested the 119th Congress—and it barely showed up. Vacancies shrank the GOP majority, paralysis set in, and one of the quietest legislative months followed. What actually became law when funding was finally half-finished? @JenBriney https://t.co/jGWRF4qNQU

[Congressional Dish @CongressDish]

Marco Rubio defended the U.S. seizure of Venezuela’s president before the Senate—but his answers raised more questions than they resolved. Hear the testimony, military talk, and oil strategy in our latest episode with @JenBriney

Why did Congress grill the investigation instead of the alleged crimes? Hear highlights from Jack Smith’s now-public 8-hour deposition on fake electors & prosecutorial decisions.

New #CongressionalDish: @JenBriney covers sworn testimony GOP leaders tried to keep out of the record—U.S. citizens violently arrested by ICE after identifying themselves as Americans. If it happened to them, it can happen to anyone. https://t.co/hLIerfMVHN

New episode of #CongressionalDish: @JenBriney breaks down what became law in November—from the shutdown deal to the dingleberries slipped into it—then revisits the CDC director firing and a politicized newborn hep B vaccine advisory change. https://t.co/e9ulZqXTwj

Millions trusted 23andMe with their DNA—so what happens if a company holding 15M genetic profiles goes bankrupt? @JenBriney breaks down bipartisan hearings exposing how your data can be hacked, shared & even sold. Listen: https://t.co/X36Y0y05bC

[Congressional Dish @CongressDish]

Oct 2025 saw a record federal shutdown, a House recess, 100+ Trump-aligned confirmations in the Senate, rare bipartisan resistance to Trump’s tariff actions, and an unsuccessful Senate effort to halt his unauthorized overseas boat strikes.

After months of chaos under Trump’s 2nd term, a Senate hearing exposed how HHS Sec. RFK Jr. has politicized the CDC—firing scientists & silencing evidence. Hear the explosive testimony in @JenBriney’s latest episode: https://t.co/WbMsEBKiJA

[Congressional Dish @CongressDish]

New laws, shady confirmations, partisan stunts — and another shutdown. Congress was chaos in September. @JenBriney breaks it down: https://t.co/N2LtAgx1Q6

[Congressional Dish @CongressDish]

New episode: Congress is playing with fire—this time it’s Democrats holding the match. A shutdown looms Sept 30, and history shows it backfires on the party demanding add-ons. @JenBriney

[Congressional Dish @CongressDish]

New laws. Dozens of confirmations. Trump’s 2nd term is reshaping our gov’t—attacking immigrant rights, gutting protections, and stacking power with billionaires & loyalists. Congress is rewriting the rules of democracy. Don’t miss this episode.
