Today’s headlines: What’s happening in the mind of Democrat Joe Manchin? Less than a week ago, the West Virginia Senator met in DC with Texas’ contested Dems In Exile.

Also, watch as an 82-year-old with droves of fans Wally Funk can finally live her dream She has been tracking for more than 60 years. She is now an astronaut! And Mayor Johnson has just proposed adding another 275 officers to the Dallas Police Department.
