When i was laying out on that ball field, the first thing i did once i was down and i couldnt move anymore is i just started to pray. And i will tell you it gave me an unbelievable sense of calm knowing that at that point it was in gods hands. But i prayed for very specific things. Ill tell you, pretty much every one of those prayers was answered. And they were some pretty challenging prayers i was putting in gods hands. But he really did deliver for me and my family.

The first place i want to go to thank true angels along the way starts with the United States Capitol Police. When i was elected majority whip as you know the elected leadership has a security detail. And if anybody ever wondered why were assigned security detail, i surely found out that day. And let me tell you. I want to specifically
That news is coming while washington still digests this unprecedented set of charges by bob mueller against 13 russians conducting Information Warfare for election interference. All this news has caused donald trump to lash out, even by hes own standards, quite the tweet storm this weekend. He falsely insisted the mueller indictments clear him. They dont. He even lashed out at his own National Security adviser. But he did fail to address two points. One, whether he will punish russia for these attacks, and two, whether hell try to stop them again. What is it were going to do about the threat posed by the russians . He never talks about that. Its all about himself. Why is President Trump failing to act to protect our democracy. Its inexplicable that the president of the United States continues to sit on sanctions. Not once, sir, as he condemned russia. Does that bother you . It does because russia is clearly tried to advance their agenda into the United States. Lets get right to it. I h

Over the weekend, the editor of the legal news website law fare called for donations in the names of Andrew Mccabe and james baker after Congressional Republicans and the president criticized them, former cia director john brennan tweeted he had personally donated this as republicans continued their attacks including Frances Rooney of florida. In this exchange yesterday with Halle Jackson here on msnbc. Im very concern thad the doj and the fbi whether you want to call it deep state or what are off the ills rails. You look at the strozic texting and the Clinton Research people. This mccabe guy takes donations while running for state senator. Congressman you called the don and fib football off the rails.

Jitters. Joe biden goes to iowa. It comes as he holds a Strong National polling position but struggles in some of the early states. Are you trying to win the primary by talking about the general . The reason im running is because of the general. Im not running against anything having to do with the character even of the candidates are running. What im doing to trying to make the case that trump is a gigantic impediment to this country moving forward.

risks potentially shine ago light on democratic division. i think you all can count who is for and against each vote, whether it s changes to the senate rules or supporting these voting bills themselves. i think it s very people publicly know where senators stand at this point in time. ly leave it to we ll leave it to work with lock step with leader schumer on that. ultimately this is about continuing to press, to move forward on the protection of voting rights and to move it to elevate this issue for people across the country. of course, any senator will be put in the position of determining what side of history they ll stand on. that s the purpose of the vote. the president spoke about voter subversion. but neither the freedom to vote act or the john lewis voting rights act deal with subversion or focus more on suppression.
