Feyerick in for john berman. Really nice to have you. Im so glad to be here. Im Zoraida Sambolin. Its 5 00 a. M. In the east. First, congress back to work, and back to bickering. In just under 35 days, america hits the fiscal cliff. That triggers severe spending cuts and tax hikes. Several Top Republicans are now defying Party Politics and signaling a willingness to consider increasing tax revenues to get a budget deal done. But when the lame duck senate got back in session yesterday it sure sounded like the same old broken record. The senate has spoken. President obama has spoken. Hes promising he will not sign any bill that mortgages our future to pay for handouts to the wealthiest 2 of americans. I only hope House Republicans have been listening. Weve been responsible, even as weve remained firm on this point. No tax increases now for promised spending cuts that wont materialize later. Cnn political director mark preston is live from washington this morning. Very nice to see you, ma
I think the people that ride harleys are not happy with harley davidson. When all in starts right now. Good evening from new york. Im chris hayes. Today was one of those days that crystallizes whats at stake in American Politics right now at this moment. The political cloelgs that controls all three branches of the federal government just took a major step to consolidate power. Leveraging an arguably stolen Supreme Court seat to validate the agenda of a president who we have to remember lost the popular vote Whose Campaign was backed by a foreign add ser vary possibly with his campaigns help and who in word and deed explicitly uses the power of his office exclusively for the benefit of the minority of the country that supports him.

Incivility blocked president barack obama from filling a vacant sprooem court seat refusing to hold hearings on his nominee. Today mcconnell tweeted a picture of himself shaking the justices hand because he knew what was going on. Everyone did. With its decision on the travel ban today, the republican controlled Supreme Court gives an effective green light to the president S Immigration agenda which im sure he receives as more than just about this case. That i amgration agenda lets remember until last week including tearing Migrant Children away from their parents at the border as a kind of punishment and deterrence and reportedly holding those children as hostages to force families to drop their asylum claims. Family separation policy appears to have been halted after overwhelming public backlash but and this is important, the vast majority of those children right now as i speak you to have yet to be reunited with their parents.

Communication that was stolen. I accept full responsibility for what i wrote. In a separate leaked exchange, a major hollywood producer referred to Angelina Jolie as, quote, a minimally talented spoiled brat. They cited the movie the interview about taking out north koreas leader. Here is a trailer for the movie. Oh yeah. I would watch that. Okay, jill, this is pretty terrifying. Especially for you. You are known to send some colorful emails. I do not mind offending people here and there. I thought it would be cool if the president came forward and said he is not offended by that. Everyone is thinking should they have said this . First of all i feel some chemistry between these two. There is some flirty, jokey emails. Maybe they cross the line. We can all relax about it. If the president says he is i wd when we emailed about my favorite movies, conjecturing it may be benji, marley and me. I was not offended at all. Ien scwoid i enjoyed benji and i thought you had excellent taste. Thank
