This week, on the Elsa Kurt Show, Congress lurches through a partial shutdown while ICE funding, body cams, and the Save Act fuel a deeper fight over law, legitimacy, and public trust.

Most people are already familiar with Americans for Prosperity (AFP), so it’s really not necessary to write a new book on them, but there are a few things to point out.
