The filibuster is almost a moot point. Even if a Dem president supports it, will enough Senators?

I feel like the only way to sway them is to make it a real issue after the primary, but during the general election campaign. The media will question the Senators about it and they will be forced to either support the filibuster or their parties nominee. If the push is after the election time will be wasted over something that will probably fail.

Chris Hayes: So what are you going to do about the fillibuster?

Sen. Sanders: Well Trump wants to get rid of it so we should NOT do that. Also even if we had 51 Dem Senators not all of the would be progressive (the last point is true TBF to Sanders.)

Chris Hayes: Ok but if you're not sure you can get 51 Dem Senators on board how do you expect to get 60 total Senators on board?

Sen. Sanders: If millions RISE UP we can get the Congress to do what we want (I'm paraphrasing)

UGH. Most of the interview was fine but this and the previous point I posted about stuck out like sore and terrible thumbs >_<

Sanders is against nuking the filibuster? Immediate downgrade... sheesh.

So the tee-off story is about Agnew trying to get Saudi help against his "Zionist enemies."

He closes the letter by congratulating their jihad against Israel.

There's a handful of things that could probably get 60 votes - immigration reform, for example - but ultimately any Democratic President is going to be shackled to passing one bill a year by reconciliation that has to deliver on everything.

Reuters: North Korea warns of food crisis, slashes rations before next leaders' summit

UNITED NATIONS (Reuters) - North Korea has warned that it is facing a food shortfall of some 1.4 million tons in 2019 and has been forced to almost halve rations, blaming high temperatures, drought, floods and United Nations sanctions in a memo seen by Reuters on Thursday.
The release of the undated two-page memo by the North Korean mission to the United Nations comes ahead of a second summit next week between U.S. President Donald Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un on denuclearization of the Korean peninsula.

Breaking is reported as it breaks, not 30 minutes into someone's regularly scheduled tv show.



He's dead, so not much is going to happen to him. Also, it was 40 years ago, And he's still dead.
It's an interesting piece of news that wasnt known prior and involves Saudi Arabia giving him money to fight the jews. I dont know maybe we should just forget about reporting on all history like you say.

It's a verrrrrry long walk in regards to the legality of prosecuting a President/VP. Get on with it!

This is good, long term, investigative work; it has a ton of value. Also while Agnew is dead, all of the people and organizations he associated with are not. The fact that the same Saudi Royal Family that still runs the country funded a anti-zionist campaign in the US matters today.

I mean was this ever billed as "breaking"?

It said special report on her Tweet. The corner thingy during Chris Hayes said special report.

Did she really break into another persons broadcast with breaking news on a person who is dead and has no big enough legacy to be talked about in politics?

Also Adam Schiff seems to think something might be happening, making a letter and all to repubs.
