Description
In this episode, Tara breaks down the end of a 40-day government shutdown stalemate, highlighting how eight Democrats joined Republicans to pass a stopgap funding bill that keeps the government open until January.

Amid the legislative chaos, Americans face stranded flights and travel delays during the holidays. Adding an eye-opening twist, Pelosi’s retirement uncovers over $130 million in stock profits and a staggering investment track record that outperforms Wall Street legends.
