Good afternoon, everyone. This is a first in a series of hearings for the committeele to look at the recent market volatili
Corner stone of our democracy so whats the plan . Is there anything the white house can do to protect Voting Rights in georgia . Were working on that now. We dont know quite exactly what we can do at this point. The Justice Department is taking a look as well. Meanwhile, House Democrats have an idea and Vice President harris is on board. I believe very strongly that Congress Needs to pass the for people act and we need to restore the teeth of the strength of the Voting Rights act and we need to also provide for what is necessary clearly when we see the kind of Abusive Practices that weve seen from the georgia legislature, which is to intentionally, i believe, attempt to prevent whole populations of people from exercising their constitutional right to vote in their elections. Stopping people from voting. Thats right. But theres just one thing potentially standing in their way. The senate filibuster. Joining me now is corrine jean pierre.

Infrastructure. It includes 400 billion to increase caregiving for the aging and disabled population in america. It has 25 billion to eliminate racial and gender inequities in science. 12 billion for community colleges. 174 billion to boost the electric vehicle market.

A Laid Off Coal Worker is sounding the alarm over the plan. Take a listen. The Trump Administration lowered that tax from 35 to 21. We s
Steely mixture of Abraham Lincoln and paulie walnuts, he was just what america needed in crisis. In case you think we are overstating the magnitude of the hype, if you have a minute look up the exchange from last may between Robert De Niro and stephen colbert, two formerly talented entertainers who have been warped beyond recognition. Watch as they wax pornographic about the awesomeness, the Singulares Awesomeness of andrew cuomo. At one point, colbert loses all control and describes andrew cuomo as the leader of the world deserves. At this point its painful to watch because no one seems to like andrew cuomo anymore, hes been metoo for saying naughty things to women, even his former friends are treating him like harvey weinstein. He hired one of his defense lawyers. As at this point its hard to imagine he will be governor of new york for much longer, no one who knows could be t shocked, fr more than a decade he has been an awful governor of new york for reasons that have nothing to do

The First Time Since last march shut down whereas some. In the younger grades in nevado have returned the district recently decided to give the nod to 7th and 8th graders and excited me by kids for the first time like i cant stop smiling thinking about it.
