Republicans used the filibuster to block voting rights legislation in the Senate Wednesday after a day of debates. Hours later, Democratic Senators Joe Manchin and Kyrsten Sinema joined GOP lawmakers in rejecting a filibuster rules change, which caused a fatal blow to the voting rights push. It comes as President Biden capped off his first year in office with a two-hour solo press conference – where he highlighted his successes and laid out his priorities for the future. Meantime, the Supreme Court rejected Trump's effort to stop the National Archives from giving the Jan. 6 committee hundreds of pages of documents from his presidency. Plus, the White House announces plans to distribute 400 million free N95 masks to Americans. Peter Baker, Garrett Haake, Joyce Vance, Eugene Robinson, Mark McKinnon and Michael McFaul join.
