All three top House Democratic leaders put out a statement last night saying they remain strongly opposed to the bill. And New York Democratic Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez did not mince her words talking to NPR's Barbara Sprunt last night.

She also said moderates in the House Democrats who won in Trump districts voted no on this. And she said today House Democrats are still going to urge Democrats to block this bill. OK, so what are Republicans saying about when we should expect this vote? You know, it's Congress, so they always wait until the last minute. So we expect the vote on this bill later this afternoon.

That obviously gives Congress just hours before the deadline. Republicans were gearing up for a message war if Democrats block the bill to label this a Schumer shutdown.

This is an on-the-record signed sworn statement from Hegseth's former sister-in-law, as you noted, Danielle Hegseth. She was married to his brother, Nathaniel. And she states that she was asked to provide the statement by the top Democrat on the panel, Jack Reed.

Senator Reed told me last night he made the request for the details because he didn't think the FBI background check on Hegseth was adequate. Hmm. Danielle Hegseth says in her personal opinion, Pete Hegseth is, quote, unfit for the job. She says her former sister-in-law, Samantha, Hegseth's second wife, who he divorced, feared for her personal safety during their marriage.
