storm this last hour has been the greatest intensity we have seen in terms of a wind gust and the volume of water. sheets and sheets of rain are moving through unfortunately with the sundown i cannot panic camera around to let you see what has happened. in large part because power is out for all of new orleans now. it has been described as catastrophic damage to the transmission system. what that means frankly and then we have to get the details on what that means over catastrophic damage. but we know whenever there is a storm like this the ground get soft in the trees get toppled they take out the power lines with them. in terms of damage we now in st. bernard county, here in new orleans let me back up and one who house has collapsed and an adult male was trapped inside the house. twenty-two barges got loose they are blown around the river. we know in one town one bridge they are or at least a barge hit a bridge and officials are warning people to stay away from the bridge b
this is a decision that came actually pretty quickly. the appeals court here in d.c. heard these arguments last tuesday and issued the decision today but did say they ll provide a two-week window for the former president s legal team to fight this decision, to go up to the supreme court. they could potentially ask for the appeals court, the full court, all the judges, hear this argument again. so these documents will not be handed directly over to the committee. the former president s legal team still has a two-week window to fight this but this is yet another loss for the former president. a second court now ruling that he cannot block these records from being handed over to the house select committee investigating january 6th. thanks so much. let s bring in a former u.s. state s attorney. what is your reaction to the argument you heard, basically that trump cannot claim a privilege that the current president biden has waived? right. so the article two of the constitutio
21st. i m ali velshi. the bipartisan infrastructure bill has been signed into law by president biden and congressional democrats are optimistic about passing the build back better spending package before the end of the year. after passing the house entirely along party lines on friday, the transformative legislation is now headed to the senate for review this week, but it still has a difficult road ahead. its passage in the senate is not guaranteed. it will need all 50 democratic votes, and if it does pass, it might come out looking very different, based on the mercurial moods of joe manchin and kyrsten sinema, but at least it s moving. however, another crucial piece of the biden agenda, the agenda of anyone who cherishes democracy, by the way, has largely stalled, and i think it s voting rights. the washington post reports that kyrsten sinema, quote, remains firmly opposed to changing federal election laws on a partisan basis, signaling that a planned last-ditch voting rig
