but i think more importantly, these are victims who got on the stand, and their voices were heard. over and over and over and over again. their trauma they had to be retraumatized, but they were heard. and i think that is one of the most powerful things for a victim. because we don t know what the jury is going to do. but we do know that they were heard. their voices were heard. the question now, were they being listened to and believed? kristen, jim, thank you both so much. we definitely are following what happens next. but we ve got to take a turn, because the clock is sticking on capitol hill. lawmakers have less than a week to fund the government and avoid a shutdown. senate majority leader chuck schumer says that the chamber will vote on monday to keep everything open, but it comes as the white house tells agencies to prepare for a shutdown anyway. meanwhile, infighting between moderate and progressive democrats is also threatening to tank president biden s infrastructure
