Episode Details

Today's headlines: As of this recording, the January 6th committee still has not released its full report, but they have released interview transcripts ahead of the final report. New reporting states that Republican congressman George Santos fabricated every line on his personal resume as well pretending to be a “Latino Jew,” as well as “openly gay.” Finally for this year, the Senate passed a major 1.7 billion dollar spending bill yesterday to fund the government for next year, and is expected to be passed by the House today.
