Members of congress are in incentivized to play to the base rather than reflecting the supermajority. You should be angry about politicians who refuse to represent the will of the people and, instead, pander to the outer regions of politics. You shouldnt despair about the ability of americans to ever unite on big issues. Were not a 50 50 nation on many issues, more like 70 30. Thats reason for real hope. And thats your reality check.

That review published in one of the most prestigious medical journals, the lancet, saying even with the Delta Variant, Eas Efficacy against severe disease is so high already that a third shot is not needed right now. Erica, looking at this report, it seems first thing is first, which is focus on the unvaccinated now before you focus on getting a Booster Shot to the vaccinated. I agree thats exactly what it sounds like in reading that. Lets get to medical correspondent elizabeth cohen. To be clear, this A Group of scientists here. Theyre not suggesting that the science has changed. The vaccines still work, as we know. Theyre looking at the broader issue of the pandemic. Theyre really looking at both, erica.

You might still get infected with covid19, but that two shots are very effe
Joshua johnson. Welcome to the week. I work a lot of saturdays but the senate really doesn t and we have been following a raresaturday session in the senate today. Senators are waiting for the final text of that bipartisan infrastructure bill. It includes $550 billion in new spending. Now, our understanding is that the text could come, pretty much, at any point this weekend. This evening, senate majority leader chuck schumer said that the senate remains in session, and the discussions are ongoing. After weeks and weeks of negotiations, the senate voted, wednesday, to advance the package, 6732. That number, 67, is key. That means, 17 republicans supported the move. And that is seven more than the 60vote threshold. But the bill they voted on was just a shell. It s a placeholder that the actual fulltext bill will replace. Clearly, leader schumer would like to see that text, asap. I have said, for weeks, that the senate is going to move forward on both tracks of infrastructure before the b

At this fully. Our manu raju is on capitol hill. Two committees are investigating this for some time. But what they ve been looking at is what happened on january 6th. Why was the response so slow? why was there a lackluster information sharing between law enforcement agencies? why did the national guard not come in at that time? they are looking narrowly at the fail to secure this building on january 6th and the runup to it on the law enforcement side. It s been part of the senate rules committee and homeland security and government affairs committee. They plan to release the first authoritative report of what happened that day some time next week. Now this is a naurrrow focus. It is not going to look into donald trump s role in fueling the insurrection. Rallying supporters to come to the capitol on january 6th, come and suggest the election was stolen, trying to subvert the will voters. That is not within the mandate of this investigation. But in talking to the leaders of this, they
