They hope it captured fibers or prints. On the suspicious white powder in one of the mailings officials said yesterday its inert but not treating the devices as a hoax. The initial analysis indicates that the powder in those particular envelopes did not present a biological threat. Other analysis is ongoing. However, it is worth repeating that any device could be considered potentially dangerous and treated as such until proven otherwise. This morning the Government Official also emphasized the devices are rude meantry but some are dangerous, unstable and had to be destroyed. The scope of the investigation is coming into focus with t
On what comes back from the fbi, Senate Majority leader Mitch Mcconnell, for the second straight day, took to the senate floor to insist, hes holding a vote on kavanaugh this week, despite the key republican swing votes on kavanaugh say ing they want to wait. The investigation is ongoing, they interviewed the first four that were named and have branched off from there, is my understanding, and are interviewing additional individuals. As it should be. I hope they follow leads that come from those first interviews. The fbi is doing its investigation. We need them to do their investigation. And what im going to do is, im going to wait to see what comes back. By the way, had a bug up there that said manchester, new hampshire, jeff flake was in minnesota today, he was in d. C. Today where he made those remarks. But what will really be the deciding factor if senators flake, murkowski and collins, we dont know. Will the fbis findings about kavanaugh be secondary now .

Moderators for 800. No, dont go there. When all in starts right now. Good evening from new york, im chris hayes, Mitch Mcconnell vowed to plow right through Brett Kavanaughs Supreme Court confirmation, even after the first woman to accuse him of Sexual Misconduct came forward. Now thats exactly what hes doing, scheduling a procedural vote tomorrow morning and a final confirmation vote on saturday. Even as public outrage over kavanaugh explodes through the capitol. Protesters staked out senators offices, they staged a mass d sitin on capitol hill where as more than 300 were arrested and they marched by the hundreds to a rally outside the Supreme Court. Lawmakers, activists and survivors of Sexual Assault pledging to keep on fighting. I am angry, but let me make it clear, i have a plan. It is a threepart plan. Number one, take back the senate. Number two, take back the house. Number three, return the power to the people where it belongs. Exactly one week since dr. Christine blasey ford t
That is all in for this evening. The Rachel Maddow show starts now. It was great to have you in texas last night. It was a very interesting night in that states politics with huge implications for what happens next in the nations politics. Seeing that senate race, and were all laser focused on that, to see beto orourke not get there, but that just tells you how many doors that opened in that hugely important state. Thanks for joining us this hour. Happy, happy, to have you with us. A lot going on, right . One of those times i feel very, very blessed to have this job. In march of this year, a guy who was going to run for senate in nevada announced that he was not going to run after all.

Race that will determine control of congress. Well get to that in just a moment. We start this halloween with a trick or treat from President Trump himself. He heads to florida in just a few hours as hallie mentioned there. The first stop on a great race across the Political Landscape, at least 11 stops before tuesdays midterms. Races that arent so much nationalized but they are personalized. I think that the president s the best messenger for the party.
