mrs. murray: i would. mr. merkley: during the time you were budget chair, did you ever contemplate a situation in which you argued that renewing a tax break that was by law expiring would somehow have no impact on the deficit? mrs. murray: i never would have contemplated and i never would have put it forward, and i happen to know if that i had suggested that that my republican colleagues would have been all over me, telling me that breaks the rules. mr. merkley: thank you. thank you very much. we're turning to senator whitehouse, who was budget chair from 2023 to 2025. mr. whitehouse: thank you, senator merkley. i mentioned earlier the history of the section that the republican budget chairman is using to perform this multitrillion-dollar magical act of making huge deficit-busting numbers disappear. it's called section 312. it has been used before, but it has always been minor, corrective, and bipartisan. i mentioned earlier the adjustment that was made on a bipartisan basis to the power marketing administrati

murray: mr. president. the presiding officer: the senator from washington. ms. murray: mr.resident, my amendment is about a really important issue that has not gotten near enough attention for how devastating it will be for women in our country. republicans' bill will cut millions of women off from birth control, cancer screenings, essential preventive health care that they will not be able to afford anywhere else. and it will shutter some 200 health care clinics in our country. and it will take another step towards enacting republicans' plan for a backdoor nationwide abortion ban. houp does it do this -- how does it do this? by defunding planned parenthood. this is a long sought goal of anti-choice extremists. no surprise. it is overwhelmingly unpopular with the american people, but republicans are bent on ripping away any access to abortion care and happy to cut off this lifesaving care. no matter that women may not have another place fo get the care that they can afford or another place they can get any care at all. this amendment that i'm offering will strip this awful

bear doesn't mind mr. murray. but anyway, back to the video as the genius, india who is a wonderful video editor here on the mosque of meals, a real talent he put together this little look as mister mertsa and mister zalinski having a little cup of coffee. this is an official video, right? i'll just go home and listen to the freaky psychopathic music that's in the original video with mertz. um, so let's keep drinking coffee all you all you tells me that that is the actual music that they released this video with royce, their old cycle pots in there. okay. now you are editor decided to put in a little bit of a hard rock to show that we all you what's happening on the streets of the center of european freedom, democracy and liberty, which is ukraine when the video, the fuck. yeah, it's kind of freaky. is it getting direct so there's that's what you're like music and sugar with your t 6 lights. that reminds me of virtuous cards. you know, they're all sitting around in burke just garden up in the eagle's nest. in the

let's take mr. murray. it's probably one of the most, you know, incipient dangerous human beings at the moment involved in politics, anywhere in the world. a big black rock guy. lots of money flies, his own plane, exceptionally exceptionally linked in a granular level with big business across europe. and he is now the chancellor of germany during germany's big rearmament as abundance. they are going to rise again . we are going to as a cost, as a fields into costco are going to distance and you all know you got your assets and cost and you got your ass on that to you in the, the oval office to buy guess who are big don. so mr. moore, it's arrives and they're talking to june. the 6th did a little slide show you in the 2nd world war couple of them to 1000 man landed on the beach, you know the russians to the heavy lifting. but when mr. moore, it's a cold as low as possible towards the big don. all you to say, you know, psyched or so much for a nightlight during our whole infrastructure. the sewing has bombing

mrs. murray. mr. ossoff. mr. padilla. mr. paul. mr. peters. mr. peters. >> good morning and thank you all for joining us. i' congresswoman yvette declare, , check the congressiol ack caucus and proud representative of new york's ninth congressional district that central and southwest brooklyn. i want to thank my try caucus colleagues, our chair, and capac chair grace meng for their leadership and presence here today. we are gathered here today becauseike so many americans we are outraged by what we're witnessing in the streets of los angeles and in committees across our nation. president trump's unlawful decision to deploy the national guard onto the streets of los angeles is a reckless and inflammatory escalation. one designed not to restore calm but to provoke chaos. let's be clear about how this began. with peaceful protests, peaceful protests sparked by the unlawful and inhumane targeting detention and deportation of her immigrant neighbors. and david walk as a california union president arrested and injured during an immigration and customs e

mrs. murray. mr. ossoff. mr. padilla. mr. paul. mr. peters. mr. reed. mr. ricketts. mr. ricketts. i want to tell you a story that is hard to breaking as it is . so, we give the american president enormous power. we give enormous power when it comes to managing the country, the president gets to negotiate peace treaties, the president decides how millions of troops are deployed all around the worldit. the president uses those powers for good. the president will use those authorities to protect united states of america. they are immense powers. always the potential to be used for corrupt purchases. using the authority in order to gain concessions for the brought american public or in order to enrich himself personally. following this problem because they had watched their monarch and watched the king of england use the powers that he had in order not to protect the british people, but a mass enormous wealth. he used those powers to control the sense and protest domestically. but he also used those powers in order to compel other nations and actors inside the empire to pay him tribut

murray: mr. secretary. sec. kennedy: what have you done about the epidemic of disease? - of chronic disease? sen. murray: seriously, madam chair. chair capito: i would ask you to hold back, mr. secretary. let the senator ask the questions. sen. murray: i am asking you a question about childcare. i'm asking you about who made the decision to withhold childcare and development block grant funding. sec. kennedy: that was made by my department. sen. murray: you said last week, we were not cutting thousands of scientists. we are not cutting clinical trials. but i want you to know that in the last four months, you fired or pushed out nearly 5000 nih staff and terminated more than 1600 nih grants. that includes more than 240 clinical trials across the country. so whose decision was it to fire scientists and terminate these nih grants? and the clinical trials? sec. kennedy: senator, i don't trust your information, with all due respect. you told me two or three days ago, four days ago that we had cut a clinical trial in your state, and it turned out what you said turned out to be

murray: mr. president. i thank the chairman and our ranking members from previous years because this is really important. mr. president, there are some things you can't change with legislation. despite what my colleagues on the other side of the aisle seem to believe. for example, one plus one is two. and while a trillion might have a lot of zeros in it, it is in fact a much, much bigger number. now that might sound obvious but apparently my colleagues across the aisle need a little reminder because right now republicans are pretending not to get it. it is almost beyond belief and it is certainly beyond common sense. after years of complaining about the debt, in fact at the same time they're talking about how we need to address the debt, republicans now are suddenly pretending they don't know how to count. republicans are suddenly pretending the parliamentarian doesn't exist if they don't talk to her. republicans are suddenly pretending that precedent doesn't exist if they just fake amnesia and that norms a

murray state was the number four seed after winning the missouri valley conference. mr. comer: they played in the oxford regional where of course ole miss is and they beat ole miss twice and georgia tech once to advance to the superregional. then murray state did what every blue-blooded kentucky wildcat fan could only dream of. they beat duke and they didn't just beat duke on their home field once, they beat duke twice, to advance to omaha, to the college world series. this is a historic achievement for a small school. murray state defied the odds in the era of n.i.l. and big contracts and players getting paid. this is a group of baseball players that want to play ball, they play hard every game, they weren't highly recruited and they won. so congratulations to coach circa and the murray state racers and the entire murray, kentucky, community. i yield back. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman yields back. for what purpose does the gentleman from california seek recognition? mr. swalwell: to address the house floor for one minute and to revise and extend my remarks. the

mrs. murray: thank you, mr. president. i yield the floor. and i suggest the absence of a quorum. take that back. i withhold. mrs. blackburn: mr. president. the presiding officer: the chair recognizes the senator from tennessee. mrs. blackburn: thank you, mr. president. last week, our nation lost a revolutionary business leader, a committed philanthropist, an incredible tennessean. his name? fred smith. like all great leaders, fred had a vision for a better future, and he did everything possible to make it happen. that's why in 1973, he founded fedex with a simple yet bold idea -- improve overnight delivery. today, we take instant shipping for granted in many ways. it's the engine of our global economy, but back then it was not considered to be a practical or workable idea. so, it too took fred to make it happen. he pioneered innovations in transportation and logistics, and those pioneering innovations have defined the industry ever since. he truly led the way, and it was not easy. but with his commitment to excellence, he grew fedex into a $53 billion company that employs half a

murray: mr. secretary -- sec. hegseth: you have given a voluntary process by which some people choose to sen. murray: -- we know the process, i am just asking -- sec. hegseth: you are totally disingenuous characterization of what our we are focusing on shipbuilding. sen. murray: mr. secretary, do we need more or fewer shipbuilders? sec. hegseth: we are investing historically in our shipbuilding defense industrial base and workforce and ships in this budget, more than anything the previous administration ever did. sen. murray: ok. so, you managed to fire highly skilled workers, including my home state of washington, for no reason. so let me just say the navy needs welders, not people who can recite a president's executive orders. if the navy wants to hire a qualified candidate for the role, but that candidate happened to vote for or donate to democrats, would they be hired? sen. murray: -- sec. hegseth: senator, there's never been a litmus test for hiring welders. if you can weld, you can work with the defense depar

mr. chair. >> senator murray. >> thank you, mr. chairman. three weeks ago secretary kennedy abruptly fired all 17 members of the asap and appointed eight new unvetted members, many of whom are vaccine skeptics and as we know the committee starting today vaccine recommendations. as of last night there are down to 7 members. i wanted to ask you, do you agree that any new asip members should have to go through thorough ethics review process before meeting? >> the members to have acip do need to go through thorough ethics review before they allowed to participate in those critical meetings. >> so if that ethics review process was not complete before as committee, do you think any vaccine recommendations of this week's meetings should be valid? >> so my understanding is that to convene the acip meetings, there needs to be a quorum of participation. >> you just said they should go through ethics setting before meeting. they are meeting today without that ethics review process, should they make recommendations today, should -- should they be valid?

murray: mr. secretary, in fact, many of us have heard from women veterans. sec. collins: then did you help correct them? did you help correct them? sen. murray: did you? sec. collins: i did. i've been on tv. i put out videos. i've done everything because of a false article. i cannot believe we're still going down this route. sen. murray: i can believe it when you take words out that people hear them in, and i'm telling you that, mr. secretary, i'm simply telling you when you took those words out, people heard it in a specific way. therefore, i'm asking you why don't you put them back in in, ? sec. collins: no they heard it , in a specific way because a reporter who looked for clicks decided to write an article that he knew was false. sen. murray: again, i have heard from women veterans about experiences, which is why i have -- and sec. collins: do you have an example that you can give to me because i'll make sure it's great. nobody is to be discriminated against. you're going to call each individual woman in the country and tell them they're not going to be. sen.

mr. chairman. >> senator murray. >> thank you very much, mr. chairman.ou are charged with making sure we keep our promises to our veterans and i will tell you, as the daughter of a veteran, one who had great needs for bea benefits, take very seriously. mr. secretary, i know you hate scaring our veterans, but here's what i know. when you fired thousands of va staff with no rationale beside musca said so, that really scares veterans. when you cancel hundreds of contracts including a cancer registry in my state, that scares veterans. when you muzzle our researchers, that scares veterans. when you eliminate the vast programs, which helps save veterans from foreclosures on their homes, that scares veterans. when you remove linkage thing that veterans and doctors can't be discriminated against based on political views or marital status with no explanation until after people called it out, that scares veterans. and more than just scaring veterans, it puts the care and support they have not only earned, but are entitled to do in serious jeopardy. so if you're ke

murray: thank you very much, mr. chairman. secretary hegseth, you oversee one of the largest and most important organizations on planet earth. more than anything the department of defense needs a stable, competent and strategic leadership. and much as i had feared back in january, it is not what we are seeing under your leadership. in a matter of months you have lost top aides and reportedly struggled to hire new ones. you have fired highly respected top military officials. you shared highly sensitive attack plans over signal, and apparently with people in your own personal circles. and you've not taken responsibility for those mistakes. all the while, the security challenges we face have grown larger, not smaller. and in the face of these challenges, you have taken a series of actions that weaken our posture. for example in my home state of washington, which is home to many d.o.d. installations, critical to our indo-pacific strategy, you have pushed out almost 2,000 highly trained civilian employees, including at pew jent sou

mr. risch: thank you, and thank you to washington for your help. you did send a number of first responders there, which were very helpful. thank you. ms. murray: mr. president. the presiding officer: the senator from washington is recognized. ms. murray: i want to stand and join with our colleagues from idaho with our deep sorrow for everyone in those impacted communities. it is close to the border with washington. many of our responders joined with all of you. our hearts and thoughts and prayer go to everyone impacted. that community will be devastated for a long time to come. mr. crapo: as we close, i would like to thank my colleagues from washington, as well as all of you. many of you have come up and expressed your sentiments today. i would say even the federal workers were there, the fbi and others. there was a huge influx of support from those who put their lives on the line every day, and some lost their lives yesterday. and so because of that, i just ask that you join us for just a moment of silence and prayer. [moment of silence] mr. crapo: thank you, mr. president. mr. schumer: mr. president. the presiding officer: the senator from

mr. chairman. were joined by the vice chairman of the full committee senator murray is regular. >> thank you very much, mr. chairman. attorney general bondi, we are in a deeply alarming moment where law and order is being replaced by chaos and corruption and fully whatever trump wants. your department independence and its capacity to do its job have eroded before our eyes. we've seen respected career officials who been fired for doing their job, thousands more are being pushed out with your buyouts and the threat of mass firings and entire division are being eliminated, and grants have been canceled illegally. so i've questions about how and why those decisions are being made an important whether you are adequately resourcing doj to do its job. before trip to my questions i do want to raise my alarm about the troubling pattern of trampling basic rights, detainees included u.s. citizens being shipped overseas without any due process. elected officials are detained for conducting oversight and a u.s. senator gets tackled to the ground are asking questions at a press conference. this is not the country i

mr. behnam, the emerging area of tokenization of real-world assets murray's equities deposits could bring real operational efficiency increase transparency and real-time data. could you highlight the legal considerations that traditional financial institutions face in exploring blockchain technology, specific as relates to tokenization? >> thanks, senator. the significant operational risk that i don't think necessarily exist in traditional markets that would have to be thought about. not incidental but certainly issue sort of first concert in first impression for the entities. i also think as mr. vangrack said in a conversation and in response, these are important question to think about how tokenization of real-world assets with impact existing commodity laws and security loss. i'm not suggesting they will absolutely undermined them or that there is not a sufficiently to ensure that existing laws are preserved but did you think there are potential ways if not done correctly and that's what market structure built is important, is that we preserve and to get into my existing security loss

murray have both made. and then what we see emerging, mr.ht, frankly, whatever we do will be sort of suggestive in our controlling, as i believe the constitution requires, because you have decision packages that come up here every other week, taking out everything you don't want and allowing things that you don't want to survive. so, i think it is the wrong approach. mr. vought, how much are you proposing because from nondefense discretionary budget in fy 2026? dir. vought: 160 $3 billion. 20% reduction. the lowest level since fiscal year 2017. sen. reed: and how many federal workers will be eliminated because of those cuts? dir. vought: we don't have a backup for that. it is an ongoing assessment as we figure out where we are throughout the fiscal year. sen. reed: well, public sources have indicated over 100,000 people in nondefense agencies. now, what is the budget request of omb this year? dir. vought: we have about $120 million budget request. i think you are getting out that it is an increase, and we believe that is absolutely vital. wh
