It is wednesday, june 2nd. It is 5 00 a. M. In new york. Good morning, everyone. President biden starting to pull off the gloves, slowly but forcefully. He is beginning to push forward on several fronts where his restraint until now has frustrated his party, racial inequity, infrastructure, arctic drilling, the remain in it mexico policy. All in just the last few days. And, of course, Voting Rights. Sfwh at an event commemorating the 100th anniversary on a white mob Massacres Hundreds of residents in tulsa, biden said he is tapping Kamala Harris to lead the fight against republican efforts to make it harder to vote. The president vowed to fight like heck to protect voting from gop assault. This second right is under assault with incredible intensity even though i got started as a public defender and civil rights lawyer.

Their lowest points since the pandemic began. Over a third of the nation fully vaccinated with at present more than enough stock to take care of the rest. And american cities that were fundamentally shuttered this time last year now on the cusp fully reopening as we head into the summer. Of course, that sense of optimism doesnt entirely carry over to our countrys original plague, Racial Inequity. But at least one instance, the Police Killing of George Floyd, the tree of justice continues to bear wnld fruit. As this week the four Minneapolis Police officers involved in that killing, including the criminally convicted Derek Chauvin himself, have been now federally indicted for violating floyds Civil Rights.

good day from msnbc world headquarters in new york. welcome to weekends with alex. here s what s happening at 2:00 p.m. eastern 11:00 a.m. pacific on capitol hill, after fallout from donald trump s second impeachment trial, 43 voted to acquit. the most bipartisan impeachment vote in history, as seven republicans vote with the former president, but the senate didn t reach the two-thirds threshold required for a conviction. the verdict came after an unexpected vote to call witnesses followed by dramatic 180 from the house managers backing down just hours later. today democrats are defending that decision. it wasn t rushing to go home. it was making sure that we didn t get into a political battle. you have to remind the american people that the republicans exposed that they were going to bring as many as 100 witnesses and ask that we bring the equal amount of witnesses, and that was a political ploy to get us off center of what the real work is, and that s doing the american
