Color, from voting. The methodical way this has been laid out in the state legislatures and in this state legislation is geared towards robbing us of the vote. The movement from the ground up is starting to be the only way that we can preserve our right to vote. We informed them that this is going to come not from the white house but our houses up. Since january 48 states have got under 89 bills to restrict voting. 17 states have signed 28 new laws curbing access to the vote. Another 61 bills are moving through 18 other state legislators. Today the texas legislator opened a special session to revive the republican backed election bills that democrats killed in may by staging a walkout in the last moments of the regular session.

But, in 1996, bill clinton is now president, saddam attacked and the coalition forces that were protecting the iraqi kurds they backed out, they left. The reasons for that and the consequences of that are dark and complex, and that is a longer story. In the immediate moment in 1996 when that happened, the u. S.

And even if they are in the same party, presidents meet oneonone with senate majority leaders especially through the same party, sometimes they meet with the chairs of important senate committees. And in a 50/50 senate, the president of course, of course, has to meet oneonone with senators who are a problem, which is why joe biden had a oneonone meeting with joe manchin today. And kirsten cinema. Separate oneonone meeting with her. Who, she is in her first term as a senator, and would not have been in the room with the president today if she was fully on board with the presidents agenda like arizona s under senator mark kelly, who is not a problem for joe biden.
