TODAY'S HEADLINES:
Texas Democrats staged a late-night walkout in the state’s capitol to briefly block the local GOP’s sweeping voter suppression bill, but the fight is far from over.
Meanwhile, the New York Times obtained documents showing how Joe Biden is attempting to overhaul the country’s immigration system.
And lastly, Colombia’s government ramps up its attacks on protesters and deploys thousands of troops to combat a social movement against police brutality and income inequality, while the U.N. calls for an end to the violence.
THESE ARE THE STORIES YOU NEED TO KNOW:
The battle for voting rights in America is boiling over in Texas. The GOP there has passed one of the most restrictive voting bills we’ve seen this far, and the state’s minority Democratic caucus is doing everything in their power to stop it actually becoming a law.
Texas’s embattled Democrats did everything they could to slow down the bill in the State Senate, where it was eventually passed on Sunday.
It then went to the House, with a looming legislative deadline attached. At around 10:35 on Sunday evening, the leader of the State House Democratic Caucus told all his members to just pick up and leave the building. This move deprived the Republicans of the minimum number of members needed to start a vote and forced the House Speaker to adjourn the session around 11 p.m.
Even though the GOP would have won that vote on party lines, the Democrats realized they could run out the clock by simply refusing to play, and therefore throw a big wrench in the Republican’s voter suppression plans.
Now, Governor Gregg Abbott says he’ll call a special legislative session, which will give the GOP another chance to pass a similar bill. They’ll have to start over, but could just cannibalize the old bill or even make it worse.
But still, the Texas Democrats fight this weekend is an example of how difficult the Democrats should be making this kind of thing across the country. There are similar voter suppression bills being voted on or already passed in over half a dozen other states around the country already, and it’s going to take a lot more political hardball to shut them down, especially as federal efforts to ensure the right to vote are moving at a glacial pace.

Fox News host Steve Doocy went rogue on his Fox & Friends co-hosts this week, as he criticized the "harmful rhetoric" that many Trump supporters, including the former President himself, have been levying against the FBI for carrying out the search warrant on Mar-A-Lago. Doocy says the FBI agents were just doing their job and that Trump should "lower the temperature", remember his love for law enforcement, and tell his supporters to lay off the FBI.

Republican Steve Scalise went on Fox & Friends and was berated by Brian Kilmeade who seems sick and tired of the Republican civil war. A group of hardline right-wingers says they will not vote for Kevin McCarthy, and as it stands there is no clear favorite to become the next Republican Speaker of the House when the new Congress starts.

The little feud brewing between Marjorie Taylor Greene and Lauren Boebert in the House around their competing allegiances or lack of allegiance to Kevin McCarthy. Kevin McCarthy running for Speaker of the House essentially. And there's a bunch of Republicans who don't want him in there. This is and let's be clear this is not an ideological battle. This is you know Coke and Pepsi. Which flavor do you want to be on? Whose team are you on? Who is going to exploit the labor to make it? Right exactly. Which one of us is going to get the opportunity to do that? And gates in Boebert I don't want to say their principled they just must be sort of on the outs. I don't know where gates was usually a much bigger Trump guy Marjorie Taylor Greene is swinging Trump around as a way of saying they don't want Kevin McCarthy. And Gates and Marjorie Taylor Greene were buddies. They did like World Tour of America or whatever remember. They had that whole speaking tour where they work together so interesting shift. Also, I think Robert's a little worried since her re-election was so narrow and she almost lost it to a Democrat maybe distancing herself from Trump is the right way to go. Yes I mean who knows exactly what's going on there maybe it's just personalities. but the it is spilling out all over the place even Brian Kilmeade is getting a little bit annoyed. Shouldn't you guys have worked this out by now? Here he is on Fox and Friends he is getting very very pissy. It looks like Kevin McCarthy is stuck. He does not have the votes. Matt Gaetz would have called me the other day says I'm never voting for him. he stands for nothing. Have you been approached about being the next speaker if McCarthy can't get it done and what do you say to those people that don't want to vote for him who is in your party?
