Shutdown Showdown: Julia Letlow on Senate Gridlock and Louisiana Fallout


Listen Later

Congresswoman Julia Letlow joins DC Current to unpack the ongoing government shutdown, calling it a failure driven by Senate Democrats and political posturing. She explains how the Senate’s 60-vote rule has stalled progress and outlines the real-world consequences for Louisiana—from halted flood insurance policies to closed USDA offices. Letlow also reflects on the impact of social media on governance, praising those in Congress who prioritize service over fame. The conversation shifts to the historic peace agreement between Israel and Hamas, which she credits to President Trump’s leadership. Despite the chaos, Letlow remains focused on helping constituents and keeping her team engaged.
