Senate negotiators have reached a deal on guns.  For now, it’s just a framework, a deal on principle.  Legislation still needs to be written, but it mostly centers around giving states incentives to create red flag laws and expanded background checks for those 18-21.  There would also be funding for mental health and school safety.  Ten Republican senators have signed on so far, but there is still a lot that can go wrong.  Ginger Gibson, deputy Washington digital editor at NBC News, joins us for what to know about the framework and what to expect from the rest of the Jan. 6 hearings.

 

Next, what does a road trip looks like in an all-electric vehicle?  For one reporter, it was kind of a nightmare.  The trip did cost less money for fuel, but more time was spent charging than sleeping.  To be clear, this trip used public-charging infrastructure on a trip from New Orleans to Chicago and back.  Not all chargers were fast chargers and not all of them are created equal, charging speeds varied every time.  Rachel Wolfe, consumer trends reporter at the WSJ, joins us for her four-day EV road trip.
