the suspect dressed in women s clothing. that is the disguise he used to try to get away after the shooting. police say this is something that had been planned for several weeks. the gunman used that disguise to try to sleep through the crowd. but investigators say he left behind a legally purchased assault rifle that the atf was able to trace to this person of interest now, who is behind bars as we speak, not yet charged. police say he fired off more than 70 rounds from a roof overlooking the parade. as we are learning more about some of the six victims killed and the nearly 50 others hurt by the gunshots and all the way hospital after this happened. we expect another update in just about an hour. you have the white house and all federal buildings with flags flying at half staff in memory of the highland park victims. we have a lot to get to over the next 60 minutes. cathy park is in illinois, pete williams, mike is covering the white house and we are joined by clint who
second trump ally indicted on a contempt channel. we begin the reidout with a choice, a choice about the continuation of mass murder and school shootings that are plaguing this country because it is a choice, not an inevitability as some might want you to believe. in fact, one of our political parties has gone to great lengths to make you think just that. well, at this point shouldn t the republican party just keep it real and openly admit at long last that they believe that a substantial number of dead church-goers and dead shoppers and dead doctors and, yes, dead chirp, big kids and little ones, is an acceptable trade-off for them to have as many guns as they want whenever they want with as little inconvenience as possible, and no one has said it better than democratic congress montana dare jones who spoke during yesterday s contentious debate over democrats package of gun safety bills. as the youngest member of this committee, i need to address my republican colleague
They haven t hardly any since. norway passed a law in 2018. seemed to work there, ditto the unit kindom. how do you explain that, because they are claiming that gun laws don t work but they seem to work everywhere else. they can t explain it. it s without a basis in fact. you can identify any number of mass shootings over the past several decades and draw a direct link between someone not having to go through a background check that would have been a red flag for them or their ability to easily access an assault weapon that would have banned under legislation that we are considering passing through the house, and that will give just the evidence that you need to conclude that strong laws aimed at ending gun violence would actually be effective at accomplishing what the goal is that house democrats are talking about. you know, i was 11 years old when columbine happen, and as

Closer you get to a deadline, the more you empower one or two senators who don t have the power to stop anything, but do have the power to slow the process down, to reach for things that they want. that s what we saw in this fight yesterday over a vote that some conservative senators wanted on defunding the president s vaccine or testing mandate. that s what we ve seen with marco rubio. he wants a vote on an amendment that he is pushing for, that deals with forced labor in china. that s related to the defense bill. who knows what the ryder or the issue of the week will be by the time the senate gets around to lifting the deal, which is arguably even more of an urgent priority than is averting a government shutdown. the effect of defaulting on the debt could be much more catastrophic. so congress will be dancing with these deadlines almost every week with the goal of right to pass that spending bill by christmas. this is going to be a very, very
