The House Speaker nancy pelosi just a few moments ago, sending a letter to her House Democratic colleagues, rallying them in her words to save the Postal Service. She says she wants the house to return to session later this week. All of this unfolding as the u. S. Approaches a once unthinkable mile stone of 170,000 americans dead.

Thats what we just got. Dont push the table. Its 11 00 a. M. Out west and 2 00 in the east. After falling flat in his prime time address, the president is telling reporters he might declare a National Emergency to get his wall. Why didnt you announce it last night . I think we might work a deal. If we dont, i may go that route. I have an absolute right to do a National Emergency if i want. It is unclear what the president told Senate Republicans to convince them to stick behind him. Some are starting to lose their patience.
