Highlights of this week’s Congressional Hits and Misses include House members getting tripped up by homonyms at a markup, Rep. Katie Porter playing a parody of “Jeopardy” with witnesses at a House Oversight hearing, Sen. Ted Cruz worrying about spying air fryers, protesters interrupting the Congressional Women’s Softball Game, and more.
