forward to public hearings starting on june 9. so they are running out of time. but these letters are remarkable in the sense that the committee is widening its net, inviting more lawmakers to come in and the expectation is that they will also send more letters to potentially senators. more than a year on and yesterday a jury found a former new york police officer guilty in his trial for what happened on january 6. so the justice marches on here even as washington tries to get more answers. thank you so much, zachary cohen. just ahead, joe biden s first chance to say something about the draft opinion from supreme court overturning roe vs. wade. and a major declaration about t ukraine. helps alleleviate stress on skin. so you can get b back in sync. new dove menen. a restorative shower for body and m mind. finding my way forward with node-positive breast c cancer felt overwhelming at times. but i never just found my way, i made it.
