It lasted less than a week actually, by my count on saturday, Donald Trump return to the Campaign Trail for his first rally since last weekends Assassination Attempt.

Republicans claimed a new, gentler trump would emerge, but exactly one week later, the Ex President delivered his same old speech, delivered with lies and divisive rhetoric that his political rivals
Its way too early for this. Good Morning And Welcome to way too early, the show that entirely too often uses the doggy paddle. Im Jonathan Lemire on this thursday, july 29th. Lets start with the news. Folks, theyve got a deal. Senators celebrated yesterday after finally coming to an agreement on a 1 Trillion bipartisan Infrastructure Bill. The break came after weeks of disagreements over sticking points such as Transportation Funding and how to pay for it. Chuck schumer held a vote exactly one week after the previous vote failed. It passed with every democrat and 17 republicans including Minority Leaders mitch Mcconnell Signing on. Despite the popularity of it and the need for it, Washington Hasnt been able to get it done. This time were going to get it done. Its a matter of building a relationship and having trust.

One writer at The New York Times has a wild idea on how the country can recharge. Leaders from all, how can we heal when we are all exhausted . Prescription . One week off, one solid week, no work emails, no school work, No One working in restaurants, full nation vacation.
