lockdown the votes. tuesday s election served as a wake up call to give progressives and moderates the push to get on the same page. i believe we re going to work both these out. we ve been all working very closely together. and everyone is acting in good faith and we ll get these across the finish line. but i think the country wants to see action. they deserve it. they want us to produce common sense results, you know, for them and for families. this election on tuesday showed us how seriously we have to take these issues, these pocketbook issues, and the reality is the build back better act is going to reduce costs for poor families and working families. 7b there are issues, of course, that remain unresolved. house democrats have worked out one of the sticking points, how to divvy upstate and local taxes. deductions will be capped at $80,000 per year over nine years. it is an approach that devers from key senators like bernie sanders, but a big step closer to the fini
good criticism helps us get better. my view is what we are seeing is a coordinated effort to selectively used leaked documents to paint a false picture of our company. the reality is that we have an open culture where we encourage discussion and research about our work so we can make progress on many complex issues that are not specific to just us. in reality, the facebook papers show researchers found the company essentially created a frankenstein, a monster, pushing falsehoods in the darkest corners in ways that won t easily be undone. cnn s donie o sullivan starts us off this morning. reporter: we need to steel ourselves from more bad headlines in the coming days, facebook wrote in an internal memo to colleagues over the weekend. we didn t invent hate, but you think it s making hate worse? unquestionably it s making hate worse. reporter: whistleblower frances haugen appeared before the parliament and cnn and other news agencies began producing thousands of page
house records secret by claiming executive privilege. even though he s no longer in office. the man who is in office, president biden, is standing by his decision not to assert privilege here. in a new statement overnight, markedly more blunt in tone, the white house now says trump abused the office of the presidency and attempted to subvert the peaceful transfer of power, adding here, the constitutional protections of executive privilege should not be used to shield information that reflects a clear and apparent effort to subvert the constitution itself. as trump heads to court, one of his former aides appears headed that direction as well. later today the committee is expected to hold steve bannon in criminal contempt for defying their subpoena, setting up what could be a legal battle ahead. cnn s ryan nobles starts us off this morning in washington. reporter: laura and christine, no doubt tuesday night is a big night for the select committee. this is where they will ho
what we are learning is that the former president was out in california for a foundation event and wasn t feeling well this past tuesday. feeling a little run down, a little fatigued. but concerned enough that they took him to the hospital, university of california irvine, where he was admitted and subsequently diagnosed with a blood infection. a couple important points. the former president has a history of heart disease. had heart operation back in 2004, had stints placed in 2010. dr. shaneen, chief of medicine, said his heart is not related to his current situation in the hospital. he was also tested for covid. it s not covid. former president has been vaccinated and has received a booster shot as well. they said this was clearly a blood infection and specifically something that emanated from his urinary tract. so this is known as uro sepsis. it starts in the urinary tract, subsequently spreads to the bloodstream. it sounds like he was treated early. he was started on iv
republicans critical of his strategy. you do? why? we had a plan. we can t let threat of changing the rules drive us every time. i think the democratic threats to destroy the filibuster caused him to give in. i think that was a mistake, serious mistake. were you surprised? yes. after the vote, senate majority leader chuck schumer laid blame on the republicans for leading the nation on the brink of default triggering visible frustration from one of his fellow democrats. leader mcconnell and senate republicans insisted they wanted a solution to the debt ceiling, but said democrats must raise it alone by going through a drawn-out convoluted and risky reconciliation process. that was simply unacceptable to my caucus. and yesterday senate republicans finally realized that their obstruction was not going to work. the senator in the back of schumer there, that is senator joe manchin, of course, a key vote for democrats with his hands over his face, rubbing them. appa
