To limit debate on the nomination of judy shelton for Federal Reserve board. Three republican senators have announced opposition to her confirmation, and the vote is expected to be tonight. That vote is scheduled for 2 15 eastern time when senators return frotheir weekly party meetgs. The chaplain let us pray. Mighty god, help our lawmakers to not put their complete trust in mere humans who are as frail as each breath. Instead, give them the wisdom to totally trust you to guide them in doing what is best for our nation and world. Lord, remind them that eventually all will be well for those who pursue godliness, and that you reward those who diligently seek you. May they remember that you will judge their work and reward their faithfulness, for they are accountable to you. Inspire them to continue to plant and water the seeds of peace, knowing that a bountiful harvest will surely come. Keep their motives pure as they seek to glorify you. We pray in your merciful name. Amen. The presidin

We will see some so, they meet in caucuses, different causes. No surprise here. The things are happening a little bit differently this year because of the pandemic. The Democratic Caucus which is happening the first of the meetings is happening today. There is a virtual opportunity for members to stay home, stay in their districts and cast the votes in the upcoming leadership elections using a secure app that the democrats have come up with. We wont see any changes at the top. The republican leadership, kevin mccarthy, steve scalise, maybe, maybe not liz cheney, thats staying the same. Were not seeing any changes at the top there either. Remarkably long run of nancy pelosi as the leader and jim clyburn of South Carolina as number three, thats all continuing. Thats continuing for a into a 16th year. Its a remarkably long run
