Brookings’ Sarah Binder has these suggestions for following Congress:
Sarah Binder: Want to be a Congress nerd? I start my day with Jamie Dupree’s Regular Order – an indispensable daily summary of what’s happening on Capitol Hill. Dupree has covered the Hill since 1986 and brings deep historical and institutional knowledge (and some occasional snark) to bear in explaining legislative politics. Saturday morning on the way to the farmers’ market (where fellow TMC’er Danny Hayes can be found with his cute kids in tow), I listen to David Lerman’s CQ Budget podcast. Really! It’s great! I also recommend the Congress: Two Beers In podcast, a healthy mix of legislative politics and political science. A recent episode with Dave Hopkins on changes in the Democratic and Republican parties is especially worth a listen. Finally, I love The Wire, especially for its lessons on parliamentary procedure.
