Congress Weekly uses humor and political satire to make Congress, public policy, and the decisions behind your tax dollars easier to understand—and more fun to follow.

Serious subjects.
A sense of humor.

Expect plain-English explanations, political satire, and the occasional sports analogy. The goal is to help you understand what happened, why it matters, and how the process works—while giving you a reason to keep reading.
