Desk. Every single senator in the Democratic Congress and in our caucus here in the senate is cosponsoring the for the people act. Senator merkley, senator merkley and my companion bill the h. R. 1, for the people act, but it is very deep in the leaders legislative graveyard. Over the course of the last year, as the for the people act has languished, tens of millions of dollars were spent, much of it in secret, to influence the policymaking process. Almost half a dozen states passed new laws restricting voter rights. The u. S. Supreme court gave the green light to political gerrymandering, and President Trump has with his own properties dozens of times funneled millions of taxpayer dollars into his own pocket. Yet, the Republican Senate is silent, sigh length as silent as our democracy faces a crisis like none we have ever seen in our lifetimes.

Relation to the recent bush fires and debate on the motion to have precedence over all other business. The debate continue until adjourned or resolved if necessary of the usual time of the house.

Two, extends its deepest sympathies to families who have lost loved ones. And to those who have suffered inj
Day for house impeachment managers to make their case against President Trump. Tomorrow the defense gets its first crack at the case. Good morning, everyone. Im sandra smith. Ed im ed henry. One week in the books. Lets keep on going. Democrats laid out their case for abuse of power yesterday, arguing President Trump violated his oath of office like no other president in history, calling his conduct worse even than that of president nixon. The president s team sharply disagrees and will soon launch their official defense. Sandra meanwhile, democrats hoping to convince g. O. P. Senators and joining them to call for new witnesses. So far Many Republicans are unconvinced. You cant trust this president to do whats right for this country. You can trust he will do whats right for donald trump. Everybody wants to convict the president of the United States, and i might add, disenfranchise voters across the country. Because my democratic colleagues think there will is more important than the wil
