Heres dick durbin praising senators on both sides for coming to that agreement. What i am seeing on the floor of the senate in the last few days is something we have not seen for years. Constructive bipartisan conversations and dialogue on the floor. Not just about this issue which is obviously from the center, but about the future of this institution. Were not out of the woods yet. The house needs to also approve it. It will be a threeweek extension till the herring called chip gets funded and republican think promise to address daca immigration. But promises have been broken before. Remember, Susan Collins voted yes based on a public from Republican Leadership which we have yet to see come true. Now she is once again voted yes in exchange for a promise from Republican Leadership. Notably absent from all this in the big compromise is the president. He was not involved in the deal. We have yet to find out from reading twitter, which is probably the first thing well hear. This resets th
41 with cloudy skies and some rain at 11 00. And this afternoon, yeah we warm into the 40s, but its never really going to feel warm.

May be heading in toward livermore and pleasanton. This is right now blocking that shoulder and part of one of your lanes, but you see chp going by and you saw other cars going by. Theres Traffic Control. At its very worst you can go off and back on. This is highway 4 in sunol. That is whats going on right now. Let me show you on the maps where that is. That is here. Thats important because this is between the ge plant and 680. This is a major cut through for folks. Traffic very light so theyre able to get by right now, but there is a little slowly as you approach Little Valley. Thats where there is an extent in towards a business, exit and back on to the roadway and get around the crash activity. We will continue tracking that. Chp thought they would have that cleared up before the major morning commute. Traffic overall looks light right now. Also very cold for those folks working out there.
