The aisle. The vote was 301 to 121. Last week, there was a conservative bill, not one that compromise bill. O be a it got 193 republicans to vote yes. They were nowhere near the ballpark on that. It makes one wonder whether or not the Republican Leadership was putting the emphasis on the wrong bill. Consider what they did. They have defeated a bill that provided 25 billion in hard money forhe wall. One of the biggest problems with this piece of legislation is that it provided a path to citizenship for most daca recipients. They view that as amnesty. Theres probably a coalition of anywhere from 10 to 40 republicans that just wont vote for any bill on the floor that deals with immigration because they could be portrayed as voting for amnesty. What this does, dana, it punts the fight over the border wall to late september. There was a meeting at the white house early they are week between prerumpnd appropriators between the senate and the house. Theyre trying to get a deal maybe increase
Former bartender, born in the south bronx, she upset joe crowley. And she told voters in this viral video where she promised a new generation of leadership. This race is about people versus money. Weve got people. They have got money. It is time we acknowledge that not all democrats are the same. A democrat takes corporate money, profits off foreclosure, didnt live here, doesnt send his kids to our schools, doesn drink our water or breathe our air cannot possibly represent us. Crowley spent ten times as much money as owe cost yoe cortez, but you she mobilized 50 of the vote. Her reaction as she took the lead last night says it all. Shes right here. She is looking at herself on vision right now. How are you feeling . Can you put it into words . Nope. I cannot put this into words. Nope, not in that moment she couldnt. If she wins in november, she will become the youngest woman to ever be elected to congress. And she told poppy harlow this morning that last nights victory is just the begi

A former president , bill clinton, Ariana Grande to take to the podium there and deliver their eulogies in celebration of this amazin
Lying or mistaken . Those are two very different approaches. He has as of now never said lying, he has only said mistaken. But President Trump and kavanaughs defenders have suggested she is lying. But now he has heard her say i am 100 sure it was Brett Kavanaugh. So its really hard to go the mistaken route if shes so insistent. I dont really know whats the best way but thats a really important choice he has to make. So this Opening Statement is going to set the tone, right . Just in the break i talked to two people who have been really involved in this confirmation long before these allegations and neither of them had any idea what he was going to say. They hadnt heard and didnt know what the Opening Statement was. Maybe hes thinking about himself now, not thinking about the republicans on the committee, hes not thinking about the white house. Hes thinking about the fact this is his current job maybe, the Supreme Court see the and his reputation forever. In the statement maybe hell ask
