Welcome to Monday’s edition of Washington Secrets, where we say hello to hardworking members of the House of Representatives. They return from their summer vacation today just in time for the Labor Day holiday, the holiday established for people who don’t get enough vacation. Senators, of course, see the bigger picture and have no intention of returning to work any time soon. In the meantime, we look at the debate over introducing driverless cars to D.C. (insert your own Maryland driver joke here), and whether a Trumpapalooza is really the way for Republicans to drive out the vote in the midterms.
