washington, d.c., to really change the world. they are side was looked like they are side. no diversity, very few women, and very few african americans and people of color there. stark contrast. we will see the policies we proposed and the policies we resist will reflect the diversity of the people in the democratic caucus. let me go right there on that. tomorrow, the new house reconvenes to debate and vote on the rules package that will govern the 118th congress. given how the speakers vote played out, what do you expect from the vote or the rules package? how important is this framework? i hope there are some moderate republicans that will vote against it. for example, in the approval, there are provisions in there that would even make it more dangerous for women to exercise reproductive freedom, reproductive options. there are some very sinister
shut down with limited constituent services and lawmakers not able to hold classified briefings with key government leaders. today mccarthy was pressed whether the current chaos is a sign of things to come for a narrow and divided republican majority? because it took this long, now we learned how to govern. now we ll be able to get the job done. so brian, mccarthy hasn t sealed the deal yet, has he? that s right. he still needs to win over at least two votes. but even his critics concede that he ll likely get over the finish line, perhaps as soon as tonight when the house reconvenes. lester? all right, brian nobles, thank you. a 6-year-old student, a 6-year-old student shot a teacher in a classroom at an elementary school in newport news. the teacher at richneck elementary hospitalized tonight with life threatening injuries. police say the student is in custody and that it was not an accidental shooting. more good news about damar hamlin four days after the buffalo bills sa
is going to the continue to raise a problem for him going forward. so it s going to be a hard slog and that starts on monday when the house reconvenes. they have to pack the rules package. that potentially could not be easy. then it s on to legislating after that. if i get my wish, the cameras will be there and we will get to watch everything. sunlen, that was excellent. thank you very much. what are your thoughts? tweet me @smerconish. hit me up on social media. i ll read responses throughout the course of the program. what do we have? i believe the members are the most concerned a roving camera shot will catch them dozing off, raw hide says. yeah. they don t want what i m advocating. but who cares? we should want it and have a right to it. something else, this is congresswoman katie porter from orange county, california, reading a book. oh. check out the title of that book. all right. i ll give you another one.
