Democrats are in a race to rebrand President Joe Biden's massive safety net bill as inflation cries grow louder. Legal experts weigh in on the judge's unusual order for Kyle Rittenhouse to pick his own jury by lottery. Plus, the home of the Lakers is getting a new name.
Here's what we're watching this Wednesday morning. Democrats are refocusing their message on President Joe Biden's Build Back Better bill in response to inflation concerns from voters and key centrist lawmakers as Congress moves closer to final votes on the massive spending package.
The White House and Democratic leaders are trying to rebrand the legislation as an antidote to widespread price hikes — particularly as Republicans are trying to create as much political pain as possible for Democrats over inflation and other economic concerns.
"Want to fight inflation? Support Build Back Better," Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., said Tuesday, arguing that the bill would lower the cost of prescription drugs, child care and overall expenses related to raising families.
Biden also hit the road Tuesday as part of a major effort by the administration to tout the benefits of the massive bipartisan infrastructure law he signed earlier this week, with less than a year before the 2022 midterm elections. Wednesday's Top Stories

Legal experts weigh in on the attention-grabbing move. Unrest flared Tuesday in the freezing forests and swamplands of the Poland-Belarus border. Secretary of State Antony Blinken earlier said the migrant crisis, which Europe accuses Putin's close ally of creating, was an attempt to "distract" from Russia's troops massing near Ukraine. The New Mexico city created a third branch of public safety, in addition to the police and fire departments, staffed by behavioral health responders. Also in the News
