Where everything is bipartisan until it is not.
Legislation that requires approval from both chambers and usually the president's signature, functionally identical to a bill but with a fancier name. It's the legislative equivalent of putting on a suit for a Zoom call.
A taxpayer-funded trip disguised as fact-finding where legislators research important issues like French wine policy from a château in Bordeaux. It's business class travel justified by a perfunctory meeting and expense reports that would make fiction writers jealous.
The collective squad of judges, justices, and court officials who interpret laws and decide whether you're guilty, innocent, or just need better lawyers. It's one of government's three branches, theoretically independent but perpetually entangled in political drama. Think of it as the ultimate referee system for society's disputes, complete with robes, gavels, and enough Latin phrases to make your head spin.
