How one word changed AI regulation | May 15, 18, 2026

In this episode of Congress In Context, we pull back the curtain on the subtle procedural maneuvers and high-stakes budget battles shaping the 119th Congress. We dive past the partisan rhetoric to examine how a controversial Department of Justice settlement and the ongoing reconciliation "Byrd bath" directly influence the allocation of hard-earned American tax dollars. From debating the limits of executive spending on vanity projects to pushing for critical war powers votes regarding ongoing overseas hostilities, this episode breaks down how the quiet gears of government machinery ultimately impact the wallets and safety of everyday citizens.
