there is no one quite like republican candidate for governor of pennsylvania mr. doug mastriano. he insists the 2020 election was stolen from donald trump, which, of course, it was not. he supports a draconian ban on abortion. peddles vaccine disinformation. we could go on and on and on. but right now, the contest between mastriano and democratic candidate josh shapiro is being defined by hate and anti-semitism in its final days and weeks. new york times is out with a piece of reporting that says this, quote, mr. mastriano, who promotes christian power and disdains the separation of church and state, has repeatedly lashed mr. shapiro for attending and sending his children to what mastriano calls a privileged, exclusive, elite school, suggesting to one audience that it e vinced mr. shapiro s distan for people like us. it is a jewish day school where students are given both secular and religious instruction, but mastriano s language in portraying it as an elitist reserve seem
just maybe things in this country would snap back into something resembling a pre-trump normal. dangerous elements of the far right would crawl back into their dark caves and corners that want harm done to the foundations of our most prized institutions, relentlessly maligned for years under donald trump would repair themselves. maybe even overnight. simply because trump is no longer the person sitting behind the resolute desk. sadly it appears that any of those hopes were in vain. more proof this afternoon that the destruction he left in his unhinged wake, the moral wrought he spread quietly continues to spread to this day inside some of our most important and revered institutions. considering chilling new reporting in today s the new york times, cataloging attacks on the fbi. the piece centers in part on a somewhat dishonest effort by a group of former agents calling themselves the suspendables. they wrote a letter earlier this month of accusing the fbi from discriminatin
country where more than 95% of buildings don t have air conditioning. forecasters have now been forced to improvise as they deal with the kind of heat they never thought they d see. a number of people have been saying maps in the past never looked this dark, they haven t because we have never seen temperatures as high as this in the uk before. this color scale was designed to not show temperatures like this for the uk. even the maps are not prepared for this. lots to talk about. tim miller is a writer at large for the bull work and msnb political analyst. these temperatures are insane. frankly we are not built for them, we re not built for the impact if they keep getting worse. after years of you and your colleagues warning about climate change, what is your message now today? the message is that this is what we anticipated. it s exactly what we saw coming. and there hasn t been a more urgent plan to act than now. we have such a short window to curb off this dangerous t
day 50 of the biden administration and exactly halfway through his first 100 days in office the president is marking two big accomplishments. today he secured a landmark bill for federal aid, and he announced that over 100 million more covid vaccines will soon be in the pipeline and then in arms across our country. this afternoon congress cleared biden s signature domestic packages, $1.9 trillion national relief package. this bill represents a historic, historic victory for the american people. the bill won final passage in the house of representatives on a straight party line vote, 220-211 with biden looking on from the executive mansion. there we go.

220-211 with biden looking on from the executive mansion. there we go. [ applause ] the white house says the president plans to sign the legislation on friday. americans should know this aid they re about to get is from the democrats. that is not a political statement at all. only democrats voted for it. not a single republican in the house or the senate. this is the most consequential legislation that many of us will ever be a party to. we said if we won those two seats in georgia we would get things done. mr. ossoff and mr. warnock told the citizens of georgia if they were elected, they would make sure that the actual promises made would be promises kept. this bill offers one of the largest infusions of federal aid since the great depression. in many ways it redraws our social safety net and thus has been described in terms of the new deal and the great society. it includes those $1,400 stimulus checks, extended unemployment benefits, funds for states and small bu
