upset about a rules change they had made two months earlier. that doesn t fly. so, once individual things start moving, they just start moving and life gets back to normal. and you re right, they did that, they threw a tantrum over a defense bill right before a recess, so that didn t move. and so, it sat there for a couple weeks. but things are going to start moving, you know, as they get back now. it s one of those empty threats that is always made. democrats didn t back down. they changed the rules anyway and republicans are now kind of stuck with it. ryan, to that point, when we got the announcement today that because of snow there would be no votes today, after that point, we did actually get a vote on extending the plastic gun ban. if almost no senators were back at the capitol and back in washington and so many people were stranded, how were they able to take that plastic gun vote? that s actually a perfect example. so, the way they do a vote like that is they send out what s

once i had the dog in my arms, it didn t move. it actually tucked itself even closer, and it could have crawled inside, it probably would have, that s how scared the dog was. mcginnis takes slow steps across the face of the cliff and hands lola off to a waiting firefighter. cespedes attaches himself to ivan and they begin their descent down the steep slope. but they encounter problems as soon as they begin. the rope line gets snagged. cespedes must tug on the line which in turn sends debris straight down on them. the hard part is getting him down, all the loose dirt and all the loose rocks just hitting us. i was talking to him, just keep your head down because there s a lot of loose dirt and loose rocks. certain points i had to look up just to make sure what kind of debris was going to fall on us. cespedes also struggles with the loose ground which disintegrates right under his
to plan b, which was for the members, the firefighters, to go down and rescue ivan. firefighter oscar is the first to reach ivan. the 19-year-old has been hanging onto the cliff for more than an hour and is close to letting go. once i got to ivan, he was tired. he was extremely exhausted, tired, he was thirsty. i was just trying to comfort him, make sure everything was going to be okay, he was going to be safe. i tried to get his mind off of that, scared. cespedes secures ivan to a harness with no problems and decides to take him down the hill. but the firefighters agree it is safer to take lola another way. the dog wasn t going to leave ivan s side. so the route that they were going to take ivan down the dog would have got hurt trying to follow. so we made the decision to secure the dog first, get the dog out of the equation, and then keep the dog safe, and prevent the dog from hurting itself. once i had the dog in my arms, it didn t move.
gave the papers to us at washington post. he went to the new york times and i think 17 or 18 other publications when the act when the people who had the power to do something didn t move. and, and also like edward snowden, daniel elsburg went into hiding. but unlike snowden, elsburg went into hiding in the united states, in boston, and gave himself up at the boston courthouse. if edward snowden wants to be considered a hero, as i guess he considers himself, he should have done it here. yeah. i shouldn t have said left wing, because i think that s one option. we know in our new 360 degree political universe, the left and the right media, he could have gone to rand paul or one of the libertarians. any way, it is possible. there are other things beside ending up in russia. which sounds like our enemy rather than our friend, or anybody s friend. thank you david corn. jonathan, thank you, jonathan capehart from the post. up next, i do want to know where mother jones would put him
