On infighting, investigations, and misdirected spending showdowns means this congress is off to a really slow and really messy start. one congressman even compared to the situation to a side folks get. and that is not good for a president who is hoping to make good on promises ahead of 2024, which is exactly what republicans are. doing today, the congressional black caucus met with president biden, and vice president harris, about one of those very promises. police reform. they agreed to start working on the new legislative package last year and bipartisan bill ended up stalled in congress. today south carolina republican senator, tim scott, who worked on that very bill tweeted this. resurrecting the house progressives police reform bill is a nonstarter. and quotes. with that, let s get smart with the help of our lead off panel. nbc, capitol hill and ryan nobles was so great that package. we have to bring mom for her life. msnbc political analyst and
