The latest podcast with Tom Temin, host of Federal Drive at Federal News Network and Emily Murphy, senior fellow of the Baroni Center.

From Tom: "A bill in Congress would do something that sounds obscure but would affect every federal agency. It would raise the long-standing dollar threshold for micro purchases, or goods or services agencies buy that cost less than $10,000. Such purchases come with fewer rules and are faster to get done. With why this matters, former General Services Administrator Emily Murphy joined the Federal Drive with Tom Temin."
