Yeah, julie, we will get to that in a second but first of all, let me set the scene for you right now. We are on the High School Campus and we are just right next to that location where the press conference just wrapped up and you heard the Independent School district chief of police talking about the process thats been going on today of allowing students to come in here and Staff Members and pick up their cars because, remember, yesterday was friday, they came in here, started their school day and then the gunshots interrupted first period and everything was just left as is, school buses still parked out front, a little eerie to be frank when you see it. Brandnew information coming in from the fbi, theyve now raised the number of injured to 13, they initially reported 10 fbi now saying 13 injured in yesterdays shooting including the School Resource Police Officer who remains in Critical Condition after helping stop the shooter yesterday.

Demitrius has confess today believe and even said that he did not shoot people that he liked so they could, quote, tell his story, otherwise described as a normal kid, active in School Activities and extra curriculars and no red flags in history, no criminal rap sheet as you heard the three campuses here in santa fe, texas near houston will remain close on monday and tuesday, julie, they were just two weeks away from the end of the school year, everyone looking forward to those summer vacations and breaks and now they are dealing with burying their classmates, thank you. Julie casey steigal, thank you. Democrats objecting to the measure because it would impose strict and trading requirements on people receiving food stamps. Conservatives in favor of the move still chose to sink the bill. We want the work requirements, singleablebody individualed should be able to do the job and we want to provide for those things and we think thats important, it doesnt mean to say that all of the rest of the foreign bill is fine and theres no work to be done there. Garrett tenney has more from washington. The conservative House Freedom caucus defied gop leaders and President Trump by voting with democrats to defeat the foreign farm bill. It had nothing to do with farming, it was all about immigration. This week several moderate republicans signed on with democrats to force the house to hold a vote on daca next month, with that in mind, house conservative who is actually supported the farm bill, say they would vote against it if their own security focused immigration bill wasnt given a vote first. When that didnt happened, the farm bill didnt pass. We have plenty of time to do the farm bill. If the discharge petition comes, we will be dealing with that eminently next month. Its more important right now to prioritize immigration and we have been asking and waiting fur months. Every democrat opposed the farm bill because of changes to food stamp or snap Program Including requirements for ablebodieded adults to work or receive job training. He could help deliver vote ifs they are able to relieve requirements . The whole problem was food stamps. It would have been worked out. Im not happy this failed. You know, im not happy we are in this situation, but im willing to do what i can to try to fix it. This was a symbolic stance by house conservative, own immigration bill doesnt have a lot of support on the house but forcing vote in the house, they are playing power ahead of race for new speaker and putting pressure on moderate colleagues to go on record against it ahead of midterm elections. Garrett tenny, thank you very much. For more on this chief congressional correspondent, susan, nice to see you. Hi, mike. It seemed like they would cave, whats your read . Thats exactly my read too. They were on the fence, i know they were thinking about which way should we go, garrett is exactly right ahead of having new speaker if republicans stay in the majority, this conservative group is flexing muscles, they want to see what they can get out of this. Here is what i think is happening right now, you have conservatives who are working with this moderate corp. Of republicans, they are trying to get together and come up with a compromise, some kind of bill that both sides in the Republican Party can vote for, that they can take up on house floor. They say they are looking for a solution. Instead of just saying, lets vote on the various Immigration Reform proposals that have been floating out for a long time, why dont we find one that can get 218 votes, whatever the current number is vacancies, can we get a majority, lets try to get something done rather than just hold a symbolic vote, thats whats happening as we speak. I dont know if they can come up with a solution. They havent been able to do that in a long time. Whats interesting too, mike, dont forget, the house has been trying to get away and escape the debate on immigration for a really long time and theyve been quite successful at it. So what you have happening here is the speaker announcing retirement and that kind of sets up the vacuum, they know hes leaving. You have the moderates acting up, conservatives acting up, however, they may get together and create solution that the leadership hasnt been able to solve. This could be interesting. That would be something to watch. Sure would. Makes you wonder why paul ryan wants to retire. Farm bill doesnt expire till the end of december, the case conservatives made are immigration. They are concern about moderates working with democrats forcing something on the issue perhaps this they wont like, right . Thats exactly right. If the moderates say they have enough vote to force vote through discharge override position to control the floor. They are ready to go with this, we could see a debate happening next month. The problem is amongst the options in the discharge petition are some that a lot of republicans dont like including one that would legalize the young people who came here illegally as children. There are some that they dont like and i think that thats the problem with the discharge petition. Washington examiner, thanks very much, see you back on the hill. Sure.
