      <title>Congress’ Return and the War in Iran</title>
      <description>Congress is back after a two-week recess and has a lot on its agenda.

NOTUS reporter Oriana González is joined by her colleagues Kadia Goba, Al Weaver, Anna Kramer and Joe Gould for a roundtable discussion on the news of the week.

      <title>Chris Murphy on What Democrats Need to Do to Counter Trump on Iran </title>
      <description>Sen. Chris Murphy, a Democrat from Connecticut, is one of the most outspoken members of his party when it comes to foreign policy. In this week’s On NOTUS, Murphy speaks with host Reese Gorman about why he thinks Democrats need to block all legislation in the Senate until there’s a vote on war authorization with Iran. He also discusses how his party can talk about affordability in the context of the war and what he thinks a 2028 nominee for president needs to bring to the table.
