1) From ABC news, I am Daria Albinger. Democrats are still debating what stays and what will be cut from bill Back Better. A source close to the top says paid family and medical leave are likely out. West Virginia Senator Joe Manchin says that’s a good call; “To expand social programs when you have trust funds that aren’t solvent, they are going insolvent. I can’t explain that, and it doesn’t make sense to me. I want to work with everyone as long as we can start paying for things.” White House press secretary Jen Psaki in what President Biden wants; “His preference would be for it to be 12 weeks and expansive as was in the original proposal. Obviously, there is not enough votes for that in Congress. That’s a reality of legislating. So right now, we are fighting to keep it included, but I don’t have a specific update on what it looks like in this moment.” The bill also funds sufferers to fight climate change and the president had hoped to have an agreement in place before he leaves tomorrow for a global climate change summit.
2) A day after Illinois, to bell it up, on the east coast. Thousands are without power in Massachusetts. Governor Charlie Baker; “So should we remember the storm isn’t finished, includes our working to make roadways and other infrastructure safe.” Baker says it could take days to restore power to everyone.
3) There was some complacency. That from investigators who are looking into last week’s deadly shooting on a movie set in New Mexico. “Come for the first time that it was a live bullet fired from the gun in Alec Baldwin’s hand, that killed cinematographer Halyna Hutchins and injured director Joel Souza on a set of the movie ‘Rust’ in New Mexico. ‘The actual lead projectile that was fired has been recovered from the shoulder of Mr. Souza.’ Santa Fe County sheriff Adan Mendoza at the news conference Wednesday revealing they recovered additional live rounds from the set, but couldn’t or wouldn’t say yet how they got there. He says the investigation continues and the district attorney for the area said a possibility of criminal charges remains. Jason Nathanson, ABC News, Hollywood.”

5-1) I am Connell
McShane. This is the Fox Business
report.
“Stocks retreating from recent highs and
closing mixed as investors absorbed a huge butch of earnings from tech-heavy
weights. Microsoft shares jumped 4%
after the software giant reported earnings that exceeded analysts’ estimates
and the fastest revenue growth since 2018, while Google parent Alphabet gained
5%, following a stronger than expected quarterly report. The Dow falling 266 points, the Nasdaq
closing flat, S&P 500 down 23.
That’s your Fox Business report. I am Hilarie Barsky, invested in you.”
