democracy, and who should be held accountable. given what we have learned, i think that he probably has to be held accountable. plus, the dangers of redistricting to the democratic party in the welcome to nato party at the white house. all in starts right now. the good evening from new york. i m chris hayes. the nationwide baby formula shortage has been terrifying experience for a lot of families, which is why congressman white house just took action. the house passed two bills, one which would make it easier for poor families to access formula. that passed with near universal support. that s good. the second bill, the one specifically designed to address the baby formula crisis by giving the food and drug administration $28 million towards that end, that bill was opposed by nearly 200 house republicans. they just voted no. that may come in something of a surprise to you if they have been paying attention. republicans across the country have been using the formula shortag
