Budget, that continuing resolution, perhaps now instead of language to defun obama carry but maybe they look at delay it. They also have a punch list of other things like you know, advancing Keystone Pipeline and other proposals they would like to force the president to address ordeal with. Liz peter, there are g. O. P. Members such as john mccain, and others who at least side with the president whether it comes to not allowing a government shut down. How much power does one side have over another on the g. O. P. Side as we bump up against a soarious deadline of serious deadline. We have three branches of government, and the congress we have two chambers, and each controlled by different parties, and republicans control the house chamber, someone in this fight is going to have to blink.

Our problem is going to be solved with, when youre making gun arrests, if 40 of the people arrested with a gun, a loaded firearm, are being released on their own recognizance, even though a gun charge was not covered by the bail reform law that you couldnt remand people or require bail there, when 80 of them are being released on their own recognizance in brooklyn where we have to most shootings, when you have hundreds of cases that havent been indicted because the grand jurys arent sitting and thats because of covid.

Mary williams and jane fonda coming up right now. Theres a saying that dr. King had and he said its always the right time to do the right thing.

In their cases. The stakes becoming more clear by the day. New modeling showing thousands more dying in the coming months if Current Trends hold. Thats key, right . Its not just about increased testing but about people getting sick. More dying. More than 30,000 lives could have been saved these models show if 95 of americans wear masks. Yeah. And we can all still do that. Even as calls for mask wearing grow, more and more bipartisan as republican voices in texas and florida join the chorus. The president is visiting yet another state today, likely without wearing a mask if the recent trips are any indication. Lets begin with our correspondent lucy kafanov in dallas. Good morning.
