#040—Bread or Circuses

Jack takes seriously the idea that Washington is broken by looking at performative politics and the ways the other two branches respond to Congressional power vacuums. This episode was recorded when the U.S. House of Representatives had been 22 days without a Speaker, with no end to the impasse in sight at close of the news day.

Segments include “Performative Politics” and “Legislative Outsourcing.”
