And honestly i cannot remember the last time i saw john boehner even crack a grin. [ theme music ] jennifer 24 hours after Congress Finally did something, the rightwing is up in arms the reports headline was republican horror new year. Scary stuff. And it only got spookier from there as republicans turned on their own. Republicans caved last night. They waited 20 years before giving themselves away. I would be. Seriously, could the Republican Party have mismanaged this any worse. I think the president did a great job of getting the speaker to undo everything that he promised he would do. After midnight and all of that partying and rivalry that goes on at new years eve, what i can tell you is they did half a bill. Jennifer not just the folks on the right who are whining and complaining, there are some on the left
We hear all sorts of reports about us leaving. Were not leaving until they secure their city. We told the governor, we told the mayor, secure your city. If they dont secure their city soon, we have no choice, we have to go out and clean it out. Joining me now is nbc news correspondent Erin Mclaughlin live in portland. Erin, that sounded to me as if were dealing with how to word the decision by the feds to leave and vice versa. Is that where we are . Is this about rhetorical semantics about whether the feds are leaving or whether the locals have secured the city . Reporter i think so, chuck.

Long island, forcing people to spend the fight in their cars. The battery died so i ended up sleeping in the car with no no heat. The long island expressway is shut down to crews can clean off the busy roadway before the monday commute. Several deaths are blamed on the storm including an 11yearold boy in boston who apparently died of Carbon Monoxide poisoning.
