Your Daily Kos Multimedia Morning

Daily KosRadio Logo This is your daily reminder that Daily Kos Radio is on the air, Monday through Friday, from 9-11 a.m. ET. Just click here or on the player below to listen in. And hey, why not send me a tweet during the show, at @KagroX? Yes, I realize that reads, "at at KagroX." But something seemed wrong about leaving the "at" out just because there was an @ in the address.

What's going on in Congress today?

In the House

It's Former Members Association day in the House, so non-embittered former Members will hold their annual meeting on the floor at 8:00 a.m. This will be Thad McCotter's first, and that's always a special occasion. We wish him well with it.

Once they're done playing Glory Days, the House undertakes the Very Serious Business of pretending to repeal your preexisting condition protection, and kicking your kids off your insurance, with the Patients' Rights Repeal Act.

In the Senate

At about noon, expect a vote on the nomination of John Thomas Fowlkes, to be United States District Judge for the Western District of Tennessee.

12:30 - 2:15pm Caucus lunches.

At 2:25pm, there will be a cloture vote on the motion to proceed to S.2237, the Small Business Jobs and Tax Relief Act.

On the Radio

Here's hoping traffic to and from the kids' camps isn't as bad today as it was yesterday, and I'll make it back to the microphone with slightly more than thirty seconds to air!

As always, I'll be browsing the day's news stories and Twitter chatter, playing the hits of our friend Crashing Vor, and eagerly anticipating pearls of wisdom from DemFromCT.

By the way, I've been thinking we could experiment with ways to open the floor in the morning the way the House does, with "one minutes." Record your own one minute missive in mp3 format, and email it to me, and we'll try and work them into the show. Just tell us how you'd like to be identified when we do.

Hey, it's not quite as cool as listener calls (which we'll get to), but it's a little bit of Today in Congress in your Daily Kos Radio, so we'll go with that for the time being.

In the meantime, tune in to win (just an expression), and bring a friend (that part is serious).
