Eamon, its jon fortt by my account its been about a week since the last gasp of real partisan that i saw when mcconnell and mccarthy were talking about the house bill calling it an ideological wish list and what not. I think the lawmakers pretty quickly started getting on the same page and getting too a different posture, but from where you sit at this point, is it clear where there might be any types of divides around what types of measures congress is willing to take . I know that payroll tax cut was on the table for a bit and then off the table, but beyond that, are there areas where democrats and republicans clearly differ at this point . You know, its unclear right now. You saw Chuck Schumer out earlier today and yesterday saying that what democrats want is a real focus on the workers, if theres going to be bailouts we want to make sure the focus here is on labor and the workers, the people who might get hurt and not just bailouts that would benefit executives.

Numbers. The confirmed cases in the bay area. Santa clara county has the most cases. Sadly, late this afternoon we learned of another death, a man in his 50s.

S. Military a terrorist force, the administration is defending the air strikes that killed soleimani this morning claiming hes responsible for leading operations in iraq that killed 600 service members, rob, thank you very much for your service in the country, your reaction to that all of this . I think we are getting away from the fact that soleimani was found in baghdad which could have become another benghazi but thank god because the appropriate response went in. This was not an act of war, killing was a strong and appropriate response, so this attack on the american soldiers has been happening overseas for a while now, i think the response is strong and i think also when we see all of the crowds gathering to mourn soleimani, a lot of people are pretending that they are there by force.
