Description

The House voted on Tuesday night to cite former White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows for criminal contempt. Next, we share an Omnicron update (and it’s not looking too great), before discussing a bombshell voter fraud story, and why Derek Chauvin is back in the news. Finally, we close with an announcement from the Federal Reserve, and what House Speaker Nancy Pelosi feels about the idea of banning congressional lawmakers and their spouses from owning stock shares of individual companies.
