Sister Toldjah — ... will influence her questioning - if at all. She may try to over-compensate by being a little tougher on Biden than she had planned on being, or she may play to expectations by giving Gov.

President Obama to Speak on Stimulus at 8 PM ET
Calculated Risk — The Obama news conference is scheduled for 8 PM. Here is the CNBC feed. And a live feed from C-SPAN. CNBC has a comparison of the House and Senate versions of the stimulus plan. It looks like the homebuilders are going to get their gift - and other companies too - but it is the homebuilders that lobbied hard for this provision (including withholding political contributions at one time). The homebuilders made huge profits in 2004 and 2005, and they would like to offset the current losses against those profits: MONEY LOSING ...

Firedoglake — Hearing is on CSPAN3 and the committee thread. In addition to Geithner and Bernanke, the head of the NY Fed, William Dudley, is also here. For my liveblog on the statements, go here (it's mostly an excerpt of their statements). Frank: Begin with Bernanke. First an announcement. We have a lot of members here, important hearing.

Video: Why Fighting Climate Change Is So God-Dang Hard
MoJo Blog Posts: mojo — I'm watching a House of Representatives hearing on climate change legislation on c-span.org -- it is the most recent in a long string of such hearings that has incorporated the entire week. Former vice president Al Gore and former senator John Warner, a Republican who urges action on climate change, have just delivered extraordinary statements. Gore listed study after study that are already finding real, concrete effects of climate change. He supplied the assembled lawmakers with as much science as they could possibly want. The much older Warner spoke of growing up ...

Sotomayor Nomination Senate Floor Debate And Vote
TalkLeft — It starts today at 10 am EST. You can watch it on C-Span2 or online here. I believe a vote is scheduled for the end of the day tomorrow. The Sotomayor nomination should capture around 66 Aye votes - 58 Dems (assuming Kennedy and Byrd vote), 2 Independents and 6 Republicans (Graham, Lugar, Snowe, Collins, Alexander and Martinez) though I suppose Voinovich of Ohio may also vote Aye. 34 Republicans will likely vote No for the first Latina nominee to the Court. ...

Democracy for New Mexico — ... C-SPAN provides live video streaming of today's markup of the Baucus health care reform bill in the Senate Finance Committee. Sen. Jeff Bingaman is a member of the SFC. Expect a slew of amendments and lots of contentious debate. Is anybody satisfied with the foot dragging and corporatism of Sen. Max Baucus? ...

564 Amendments To Go...
The Atlantic Politics Channel — The Senate Finance Committee's markup of Chairman Max Baucus's health care bill is underway, with 564 amendments on the table. Members are now making their opening statements, framing the process that generated the bill. The markup will determine, in part, whether health reform gets passed--whether the committee produces something that can pass on the Senate floor. It will take a while: the bill isn't expected to be ready for floor debate until next week. Watch at your peril at C-SPAN.org.

Debating Afghanistan
Swampland — If you haven't already noticed on CSPAN2 , the Senate has begun debate on the FY2010 Defense Appropriations bill. Typically, defense is the last of the 13 spending bills to be passed because it's a must pass – ie, you can't not update military funding in a time of war – and it often becomes a Christmas tree for all the pork that didn't make it on to the other 12 bills. While there's plenty of pork this year to complain about – as John McCain, Jim DeMint, David Vitter, Tom Coburn or Jeff Sessions remind us any given day on the floor – in recent years this spending bill has ...

After this, Schumer's two bills. Rockefeller: Hitting insurance companies, and R support for them, hard. "To me, it is obscene to be spending that amount of money on health insurance companies and not on people's care.... What is wrong with giving people choice?" Update: You can watch on C-SPAN3 or the livefeed from Committee. Update 2: Thank you Sen. ...

Schumer's Level Playing Field Option Vote
Daily Kos — ... could work. Conrad, whose interpretation of what he read in T.R. Reid's book continues to be just bizarre, is all over the place on this one, but didn't say right out that he'd vote against it. He said he was voting against Rockefeller because it was tied to Medicare, but this Schumer amendment is not. And Baucus still can't vote for it because without his vote it won't reach 60 votes and since it won't get 60 votes he can't vote for it. You can watch on DKTV, C-SPAN3, or the livefeed from Committee. ...

For those not currently watching C-SPAN, which is recommended watching at present, the Republicans are trying to turn the House of Representatives into a zoo in an effort to impede debate over healthcare reform.

Of course he will sign it. All this backdoor game playing goes against what the Democrats and Pres. Obama promised with transparency. They promised to publish the final bill publicly 72 hours before the vote. Another lie. Right now they are all about verbal fighting and bloviating. Watch it live on C-span.
