They needed it. The challenges were stunning and kept surprising peoples this fight went on. Wow. Our thoughts are going out to everybody who was affected by this, and of course the people on the frontlines. Thats an extraordinary story, lawrence. I hope we get to put closure to this chapter relatively soon. Alex, tonights United States senate tonight here at the last word. Sheldon whitehouse is gonna join us, talking about Clarence Thomas, which he has always told us. That story was gonna get worse, and it did. Sherrod brown will be joining us in Senate Hopeful katie porter also. It sounds like a full lineup, lawrence. I will be watching. Thank, you alex. Today, a stark raving lunatic called someone else a stark raving lunatic, which is one of the things you have to expect from a stark raving lunatic. Psychiatrys colic projection. Many people do it in small ways, but the farther gone you are the more likely you are to always be accusing other people of bad things that you do or throwi
Its like an apocalypse. People are running for their lives. Wildfires, high wind, the danger we are looking at video in maui from raging wildfires on the island. Every single memory we had in that household, everything was gone in the blink of an eye. The most complete accounting yet can of the high life of Supreme Court Justice Clarence thomas shows much, much more than previously known. Its the idea that you are receiving gifts of this magnitude. Justice thomas has been living a life of extreme luxury for 30 years underwritten by at least four different ultra wealthy benefactors. Fulton County District attorney fani willis is expected to seek charges against more than a dozen people when she presents her case before a grand jury next week. Cnn has learned that willis received additional security protection. Its pathetic to think we have to have additional security because of a madeup fake narrative around an election. Its unfortunate and necessary. An Opposition Candidate in ecuadors

We just take a little mental picture there of that beautiful way to start our sunday around the bay area. That dense fog hanging closer over the golden gate bridge. Look at the visibility right there in Half Moon Bay down to less than half a mile. Watch as we go into our inland valleys. Were in the mid 60s. San jose and livermore, and 66 in vacaville.

And it wont be the high temperatures but more about what its bringing with it, the elevated fire danger as the breezes push out west. So ill g guide y you thrhrough in a couple of miminutes. Cicinthia, ththanks. New thihis morning. G. Wowow, thihis v video shohowin
Again. And good evening, welcome to politicsnation. Tonights lead, up close and personal. Right now, im reflecting on my exclusive interview this week with Vice President Kamala Harris who i joined at the white house this week ahead of two events. The 60th Anniversary of the March On Washington, which i will be leading with ronald came the third and his beautiful active wife that on august 26th i will be meeting with them as head of National Action network. And andrea waters, came head of the drum major institute. And then of course, the other event is the 2024 election. Just 15 months away. And the heart of both matters are the dueling challenges that democrats face to both retain a black vote that appears to some jeopardy and to protect black voters against republicanled Voter Suppression efforts. And the growing dangers posed by the president ial candidacy of donald trump. So tonight appears to be on the cusp of a fourth indictment. Possibly as early as next week, this one coming fr
