Summary

The House votes to avert a government shutdown, as infighting in President Joe Biden's own party threatens to derail his economic agenda. Progressives warn that they will vote "no" on Biden's infrastructure bill. Republicans say they won't raise the debt ceiling but were OK with it under Former President Donald Trump. The coroner's office rules Gabby Petito's death a homicide. Final texts from her phone raise questions about who sent them. The search ends for Petito's fiancé at a Florida reserve for the night. Woman says she picked up Petito's fiancé, while he was hitchhiking, last month. A FBI chief warns of a "deeply disturbing uptick" in violence against law enforcement and says that an officer has been killed every five days recently. According to the LA Times, the Capitol police reported more than 4,100 threats of violence against members of congress in the first months of 2021. Six Capitol police officers are facing disciplinary action over January 6 riot. Trump claimed that the police were hugging and kissing people on January 6. Vice President Kamala Harris says video of border patrol agents chasing migrants is "horrible." A source says that 30,000 Haitian migrants are in Colombia and may be preparing to head north to the United States southern border.
