This morning, Speaker John Boehner once again taking shots at senate republicans, repeating that he expects them to put up a worthy fight to defund obama care. Which led to senators mike lee and ted cruz, just hours later, appearing with eight House Republicans for a bit of damage control. We are watching right now, the Republican Party, cannibalize itself in realtime. But heres the thing. That does not mean we are going to avoid a government shutdown, or even a adult over this crew shade to take down obama care. Because the passion on obama care, the zealotry that makes republicans willing to shut down the u. S. Government to kill it, that hasnt got anywhere. The reason i came to congress after a 12year hiatus, is because this bill is so oppressive and so hurtful. This is going to be a law that we see already as hurting people. I will do everything necessary and Anything Possible to defund obama care. Reporter more than two years after the president signed his health care law, the Rep

Chris Hayes discusses the days top news. What the president and his attorneys are up to, devlin barrett.

And while they say, you know, this is just his opinion, the truth is that the president does sometimes announce or carry out Executive Decisions via tweet. You can ask rex tillerson, the former secretary of state about that who was essentially fired by a tweet. This is an amazing day. I think there were incredible things that happened today.

In the midst of the Breaking News, the house is voting right now on the key vote that will apparently tell us more about whether there is a shut down coming and we have this National Security imploegsion. And our Breaking News continues with ari melber.
