Texas Governor Greg Abbott announced his state will be pausing its reopening plan due to a recent spike in cases. He also asked texas residents to wear masks and practice social distancing. Its important not to lose track of the economic crisis unfolding alongside the pandemic. Frankly due to the pandemic. The Labor Department says an additional 1. 5 million americans filed for unemployment last week. Feels like the Third Straight week when thats the number. Joining me is my coanchor katy tur. What else are we going to be looking at this hour . Well, chuck, right now the house is debating its Police Reform bill. The George Floyd Justice in policing act.
