Watches 1700 West Washington for the bills, vetoes, and deals that survive the press conference.
Capitol
A Friday dump of hard results and harder questions: a court-finalized prison healthcare takeover, a PAC-money headline tied to Senate leadership, and election prep colliding with a new Supreme Court guardrail.
Elections

Capitol
