The cherry blossoms reached peak bloom this week just in time for the annual festival celebrating the special branches.
It was a busy week on the Hill full of multiple subpoena-authorizing hearings, a speech from the NATO secretary general, basketball excitement and a visit from the Netflix stars of the show “Queer Eye.”
