To order starting a couple minutes early because we have a vote scheduled early and to try to accommodate the members the story of a young lady a hero to me and many from the Chicago Police department. The embodiment of selflessness she loved people, she loved her family, she loved animals particularly stray dogs. She was known for picking them up and her squad car and getting them off to safety. With the communities that they served. Last year sadly she made the ultimate sacrifice in her line of duty. She was shot and killed while making a traffic stop with her partners. She was 29yearsold. The gun that was used to kill her and seriously injure was purchased and indiana. I would like to share a brief video to help tell her story and the threats that Law Enforcement officers save. Let me show the video. The night of july 1st there was a mass shooting on a day that had already seen a child shot on the south side. This one left a one monthold in critical condition. The officer played a k

And serve the American People. Certainly without any democrat support, that means that this is only a symbolic moment and not a moment for us to make a law. That program with all the latest on capitol hill this morning, chad . Good afternoon, harris. As they go through right now and they release senator scotts bill, the House Judiciary Committee is crafting its own bill. Thats whats going on here on capitol hill. The white house obviously prefers the bill that was crafted by senator scott. Mark meadows, the white house chiefofstaff, he paid a surprise visit to capitol hill today and he says that senator scotts bill creates what he called a Good Foundation for this bill. Now, the question is whether or not they can get senator scotts bill on the floor. Mitch mcconnell, the Senate Majority leader, wants to get on that bill next week and the issue is whether or not democrats will filibuster the start of the debate.

Johns church boarded up after being vandalized the night before. Leaders of the church and Episcopal Diocese have no notice of his decision to use the church as a backdrop for a political statement.
