Give republicans minority control over Critical Issues like abortion. And the brawl on an alabama dock that launched a thousand memes. Why is this Fight Resonating so much and will the Folding Chair Wind up in a museum . We begin tonight with donald trump obliterating norms for his political and personal gain. Norms like rooting for your country on the international stage. Call it patriotism, fandom, however you want to characterize it, we generally root for the home team when american athletes compete abroad and we are sad with them when they lose. The defeats can be soul crushing, and a lot of stomachs churned on sunday when the u. S. Soccer team lost to sweden in the womens world cup. It was an agonizing moment for the topranked womens soccer team in the world especially when soccer star Megan Rapinoe missed a crucial penalty kick contributing to the loss and then Something Weird happened. Conservatives relished americas loss, expressing a maniacal glee over their and by their, i me
Growing that the violence there could spiral out of control, plus. Im harry faucet from south koreas first ever chop stick festival designed to prevent links in east asia and providing more than a hint of competition. We begin this news hour in iraq where Kurdish Forces say they are in full control of the northern town of sinja and they have been backed by a u. S. Led air campaign, its a symbolic victory for the kurds and the u. S. And sinja was captured by i. S. I. L. Last year where the group killed and enslaved thousands of minority yazitis and the town sits across highway 47 which links two of i. S. I. L. s strongholds and a major supply route from mosul and i.

That is absolutely right, the Kurdish Peshmerga forces seemingly walked in without facing much resistance at all and went into the building and a governor took over and
Stocks, 25 of the 30 are positive so far today and were keeping an eye on energy again, as well. Exactly. Down here, one of the indexes that will often list up here on the boards is energy index. Look at that one off 122 points. Again, just reiterating the pressure seen, renewed on crude oil today and down another 3 settling around 55 bucks and change. Natural gas by the way. Its had a 10 move lower in 2 sessions. I was going to say. See how nimble they are in the booth . We know they are but lets see if they can show us natural gas because it is down sharply and for good reasons if you like warm weather. Yes. Correct. The socalled i95 corridor on the east coast expected warmer than expected temperatures over next ten days or so and thats taken the wind out of the sails, plus that inventory report of last week.

We saw it with the end of the judicial filibuster for lower Court Nominees that democrats put through when president obama was still president obama and the end of the filibuster with supreme Court Nominees which republicans pushed through earlier in this term.
