Good morning!

We’re taking a break this week but have no fear, we’ll be right back behind our microphones to bring you the show next week.

For now, here’s are some news highlights, commentary, and other things we have been working on to fill the void so you can stay up to date with the machinations of the Washington blob.

Have a good weekend and talk to you all next week!
