Live and in color: Matt Gaetz is right that C-SPAN must be allowed full freedom to show everything Congress does

Many years ago, knowing us as regular C-SPAN watchers, we were asked by a friend what the acronym stood for and we guessed “Congress-span”? Nope. It’s the Cable-Satellite Public Affairs Network, created to put sessions of Congress on TV.

That person is George Santos from a nearby district covering parts of Long Island and Queens.
