Deal Reached on Background Checks

Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV) and Sen. Patrick Toomey (R-PA) signaled they have "reached a deal in principle on expanding background checks to include more gun sales, in what was widely seen as the major sticking point on the biggest gun control legislation to reach the floor since 1994," Roll Call reports.

They will hold a news conference at 11 am Wednesday

But it would still be helpful if someone told me how that's done. I purchased a membership partly for that reason.

In the bottom left corner of the OP there's a box that says "DU Rec". You just click on that.

Please let me know if it works for you.

I'd searched and searched for that little button. Now you'll believe me when I say I'm dyslexic and also have an astigmatism! I'm not too lazy to look, just too loopy to see. But now that I know where it is, rec'ing will be easy.
