Congress is not exactly a barrel of fun at the best of times. Still, after the unexpected exit of Georgia Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene last week, the vibes have reportedly never been worse. According to the Congressional Record, the 119th Congress has spent fewer days in session, held fewer votes, and done less procedurally than any Congress in years. And in the meantime, many Representatives are spending their time trying to censure one another. But some people, for whatever reason, still want to join the party like Aftyn Behn, who's running for the U.S. House of Representatives in a special election next Tuesday. She's hoping to flip a Tennessee district that hasn't elected a Democrat since Ronald Reagan's first term. We spoke to her about why she's running for office and who she wants to see vote for her.
And in headlines, a federal judge throws out the criminal cases against former FBI Director James Comey and New York Attorney General Letitia James, the Pentagon announces an investigation into Arizona Democratic Senator Mark Kelly, and the Trump administration continues to play games with Americans' health insurance.
