 Welcome to This Week on the Hill, where we take you beyond the headlines of the political discourse to bring you insights directly from the heart of Capitol Hill, unraveling the complexities of the republic's most pressing issues. Thanks for joining us as we embark on this journey behind the marbled columns on the Hill. I'm your host, Tony Perkins. Well, this week on the Hill, Congress is out for July 4th, but that does not mean that there were no fireworks emanating from the Hill this week.
