Hello again everyone. So muce this sunday. Im fredricka whitfield. We begin this hour with growing pressure on capitol hill to avoid a crippling Government Shutdown this week. Time is running out. Lawmakers now have just six days to pass a Spending Bill to fund the government.

Governor ron desantis. three professors at the university of florida in gainsville, a state school, have been barred from testifying as expert witnesses in a voting rights case against the state. the university said it was adverse to uf s interests and may pose a conflict of interest. a spokeswoman for the university defended the move adding the school has a long track record of supporting free speech and did not deny the first amendment rights or academic freedom of the professors. no. you just denied their right to practice that freedom since the administration running the state disagreed with those three professors. it s the same thing. see voting rights groups filed a lawsuit challenging a new state law that severely limits the ability of florida voters to cast ballots through a drop box or by mail. just minutes after governor desantis signed it into law back in may. now, do we have a video for you of desantis signing the bill? photos perhaps? no. we do not.
