Description

🎙️ Congress in Context: Accountability, Unpacked

Congress in Context is your essential podcast for a clear, unbiased look at the daily happenings in the U.S. Congress. We break down what your elected officials are actually doing.

Using the Congressional Record as our foundation, we analyze key votes, debates, and legislative actions, cutting through political spin to reveal the truth. With the power of AI, we investigate complex policies, decode legal jargon, and explain crucial decisions in plain, easy-to-understand language.

  • Are lawmakers keeping their promises and working for the people?
  • Or are they serving their own interests or party agendas?

We hold them accountable, so you stay informed.
