praise, you talked only about taxes. you said essentially that you have pushed this item for local property taxpayers for the region that albany was very proactive in pushing thistaxpay faso only talked about the environment. this is to eliminate and save new york 19 property taxpayers millions of dollars. if this is about reforming medicaid, why are and you your colleagues only talking about tax cuts? you re praising tax cuts. i wholly support john faso and mr. collins amendment. here in western new york, people are leaving in droves because they can t pay their bills and take care of their homes. what we should do is put the burden on the state capitol because they control how this program is delivered at the local level.
new york is one of the only states that puts it on the taxpayers to foot the bill. from my perspective, this is a great amendment that needs to be supported and reduce the $145 million in my low income areas across this district are going to be relieved. tha

white house refusing to take a stand on roy moore is the same white house that claims that every single one of those women, every single one of the president s accusers, is lying. obviously, sexual harassment
you come back to it, if they had someone who is more of an alabama democrat, he would have been fine. but on issue set after issue set, he s a democrat and that s a problem in alabama. i hate to tell everyone that. i just don t see how how big of an issue is the abortion issue? i think it s a big deal and hurt him right out of the gate and he s done very little to overcome that. he hasn t looked for issues to find common ground with conservatives. now, i do think one of the things i ll be watching on election night is shelby county in birmingham and that s where roy moore won 63% of the vote in 2012 but lost in the primary. that s an affluent the birmingham suburbs, that s where people that s the target-rich environment for doug jones. if he s going to win, he s got to do well there. he s got to gin up the african-american vote and comments that he made about slavery and harkening back to the days of slavery when we really had family values. and then, also, he s got to ge

and later, my conversation with senator kiersten gillibrand. but first we are following a wave of breaking news. rudy giuliani tells the new york times and nbc news robert mueller will seek to conclude his investigation into collusion with russia by september 1st. so far we have not heard anything from the special counsel ourselves. robert costa from the washington post reports an important asterisk. that deadline might hold true if the president sits for an interview. at the same time, president trump ordering the justice department to investigate an if in fib informant who was used in the early stages of the russia probe. the president tweeting, quote, i here by demand and will do so officially tomorrow that the department of justice look into whether or not the fbi/doj infiltrated or surveilled the trump campaign for political purposes. as for the president using the power of his office to intervene in an ongoing justice department

thursday, a sanctions bill against russia. this will be a heck of a lot easier if there was a white house who actually carried and was willing to get in the fight. clearly continuing, the russians are not going to slow down. the last point is the problem that hangs over this entire news tonight. it appears the fbi and facebook are acting in realtime, which indicates some learning compared to 2016. the president himself though hasn t only undercut past intelligence about russia attacking in 2016, he also says he doesn t think it s happening now either. is russia still targeting the u.s., mr. president? press, let s go, make your way out. you had a chance to speak with the presi
Katy Tur hosts coverage of national and international news, including breaking stories. that s right, katy. you know, the president tweeted sunday in response to our article that he is not worried about don jr., but people who have been talking to him on the phone say in fact he is worried about his son. he is worried about a lot of aspects related to this russia probe, which is getting closer and closer to him, to his family, to his associates, to his orbit. it s uncomfortable at the moment. there is some concern that he has that his son may be found to have violated the law somehow, you know. one person speculated maybe his son could have perjured himself in interviews at some point. i mean, the president just doesn t know at this point what could be in store for his son. it is a source of concern and it s one of many things that s fueling what we re seeing, which is a real public lashing by the president of mueller again and again and again, tweeting more than he has before abo
