Your social calendar for the week
Both chambers are in session with the House back this week.
Aside from policy news, keep up to date with the controversy over Cups. The beloved food and coffee joint in the Russell Senate Office Building is competing with other companies to keep its contract.
One former staffer launched a petition requesting that the Architect of the Capitol save Cups. The architect’s office has until the end of November to decide if Cups can keep its contract. Stay tuned to HOH for the latest.
