And my interview with senator warren on the fast start from the Biden Administration and her push to keep it going when all in starts right now. Good evening from new york. Im chris hayes. Just over an hour ago, the House Of Representatives voted to strip republican congresswoman Marjory Taylor greene of her committee assignments. This is a rare occurrence. It might be unprecedented.

Firsthand how the laws and programs that we enact here are working and to receive the feedback on legislation being considered by the congress in the future and what i can do to better help the folks back home. Now, a typical state work period involves dozens of facetoface events from every corner of my state covering all ages, professions and walks of life. Last august i spent time talking with my constituents about everything from the smith act and g. I. Benefits from student veterans to project safe neighborhood grants and the u. S. Mexicocanada trade agreement, but as we all know, 2020 has been anything, but typical and this august was no exception.
