The biden American Rescue plan. The next will be recovery. We call it reconciliation. Theres nothing in reconciliation that precludes republicans from voting for it. Good morn, everybody. Im tiffany cross, and we have a lot of news to get to this morning on Cross Connection, so strap in. President bidens 1. 9 trillion rescue plan is on a fast track to approval after the house and Senate Passed a Budge Bill Yesterday and democrats pretty much tossed the deuces to the republicans warning they maybepass them altogether. Its good news for struggling americans who cant even afford to put gas in the car or go to a job they no longer have. Meanwhile capitol hill is preparing for Donald Trumps second Impeachment Trial to kick off on tuesday. And at least as of this morning, it looks unlikely that a minimum of 17 republicans will vote with the dems to convict trump.

block everything because they re 0 hard right wing people want chaos like donald trump. it s the old way of thinking that you only put things on the floor when you have the votes. sometimes you have to smoke out the no votes. may be that our gop colleagues get off the impeachment train and refocus on matters of policy where we can get something done. it s like this every year. so somehow america is still the greatest play to be on earth. it s a sunny day. a little optimism. neil: everyone could use that. the grand old party suffering grand misses. now a grand old reassessment going on. alejandro mayorkas is still standing after republicans felt sure they had the votes to take him down. they did. the border bill is collapsing with no fix in sight. all of that and that stand alone israeli aid bill going down in defeat. that is giving mike johnson another black eye when he doesn t need it. why chairman mark green says don t count republicans out and democratic senator mi

investigation that is what jack smith is going in for, absolutely, this is it, this is the big show. what we are learning today about new subpoenas in the documents case. i get everything right and they indicted me. when all in starts right now. good evening from new york. i m chris hayes. today in a landmark ruling that overturns decades of precedent, sweeping aside generations of arguments about racial justice and equality, the supreme court in a 6 to 3 decision, six conservatives to three liberals, effectively got rid of the use of race in college admissions at all, even for the purposes of increasing diversity. in the wake of the decisions, many colleges and universities immediately sent letters to students and alumni outlining how they are going to operate going forward. one such school was the college of the holy cross in massachusetts, which is notable, because that is the alma mater of justice clarence thomas, whose decades long project to destroy
