Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez appears on Seth Meyers to encourage all residents, regardless of documentation status, to participate in the 2020 Census. She emphasizes that the data is confidential and determines federal funding for local schools and infrastructure. In a lighter segment, AOC is noted for participating in a House Rules Committee tradition where members' dogs are photographed as "chair dog of the day."

A clip of Nancy Pelosi features her defending the decision to hold the articles of impeachment until the Senate trial parameters are established. The hosts note the repetitive and often incoherent nature of her public statements on the matter.

House Rules Committee Chairman Louise Slaughter has proposed a procedural maneuver known as the "Slaughter Solution" to pass the Senate's health care bill. This "deem and pass" strategy allows the House to approve the bill without a direct vote on the Senate version. The hosts criticize this as an unconstitutional "shyster" move to avoid political accountability.
