the gentleman from massachusetts is recognized. the gentleman from massachusetts reserves. the gentleman from pennsylvania. mr. reschenthaler: i yield to the next speaker of the house, kevin mccarthy. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman is recognized for one minute. mr. mccarthy: we are two days away from christmas. the christmas season is the season of giving, but in congress it appears the season of giving will line the pockets of democrats' special interests and stick the hardworking americans with the tab the. that's what this omnibus does. my friend says no it's the democrats who have put people before politics. they are so giving that they are putting the people before politics. what does that mean? what is the definition when you are so caring and care so deeply about the people that you put them first before any politics? let's look, because that's what they say this omnibus does for them. guess how many pages, over 4,000 of pet projects, pork and progressive priorities. guess how much it costs? $1.7 trillion and add it all up and the pay-go, we are talking more

elections at the local level in massachusetts and i love massachusetts i've lived there for most of my life. you know, i believe deeply in the people and the institutions of, the commonwealth. i went to played all this time in public life. if i didn't a typical municipal election, you might get if you have a great one, you get 30% turnout. okay. in a typical off year state election where you're electing members of congress, your state reps, state senators and, your statewide office holders like me, 50% is huge. okay. the only time you really get everybody to come to the table is in the on year election when the president up and then you get maybe 75 or 80% turnout and believe it or not, there's a big difference in who votes and what they think. if you get 20% the turnout or 25 or 50 or 75 and, you know, we've been banging the drum on this one hard and it is really to get people to understand why those local and state elections are important and and yet and yet that is a lot of things that will matter to you as young adults will happen and get done. it's not to say that there aren't hug

the gentleman from massachusetts is recognized. mr. mcgovern: well, thank you very much, mr. speaker. and let me just say that -- and here's the problem. we just heard from my colleague from minnesota. republicans are more interested in gimmicky amendments and sound bites as a way to try to get people to do nothing. i mean, they are the party of no when it comes to immigration. my colleague says somehow that the democrats are blocking attempts to ban people associated with communist or totalitarian parties -- somehow we want to admit them in this country. here's the reality and this is the fact and people can check this. current law says -- current law, individuals associated with a communist or totalitarian party are inadmissible under the immigration and nationality act. that's the current law. so at some point maybe my friends on the other side would want to help fix the immigration system rather than just demagogue the issue over and over and over again. this is an issue, by the way, that is important to our economic well-being. ou

he's a member of the massachusetts of representatives. by the time he's 26 and in everyone's estimation, he is sort of the first man of boston. this clearly and titles will then tend to gravitate in his direction. he's a very distinguished looking man. he's six feet tall. he dresses beautifully, which we know because we have his letters to his tailor in london are extremely specific and he there's a great deal of resentment against him on which which he doesn't quite understand because of his very success, because of the fact that these this kind of constellation of titles attaches them attach themselves to him. the he does not claim for himself he distributes to family members and that the tight oligarchy, these sort of intermarried elite families is something that irritates samuel adams tremendously and actually john adams even more, or either john adams even more, or john adams is more eloquent about it. but the lines in both adams and samuel adams, well, at different junctures in their lives, right? these kind of indignant paragraphs

warnock wants him in massachusetts. warnock is the third senator from massachusetts. >> harris: you can't make that up. when the president was wrapping up his signing just moments ago to end the -- to thwart the rail strike people were shouting questions from the media and he decided to answer one of them. are you going to georgia to help herschel walker? did you hear what he said? yeah, well no, i'm going to massachusetts to help herschel walker. i thought but herschel walker is in georgia. who wants to tell him. he knows. you just said why. >> because he is aligned with the voting records of massachusetts, not georgia. the bottom line here is the reason they are sending biden to massachusetts that's where all the liberal money is at. we're being outspent team 3 to 1. i find it odd the leader of the democratic party is being asked to go to massachusetts to win a race in georgia. because if biden came to georgia, it would be pretty obvious to people in georgia that they don't want biden here because they don't like what

there can't be many witches in massachusetts. this court isn't doing us a service if these young women who say they see witches are seeing witches with their eyes closed and imagining things they n are not seeing things.do something must be done. he could do that anonymously because he was wealthy and wasn't religious and wasn't part of the establishment, but it was a really, difficult and precarious thing to do and he reminded me in many ways of samuel adams. >> we are going to go to questions now. for the next few minutes if you would like to line up in the middle and take advantage of the microphone. two questions. one is what makes somebody more interested in the american revolution versus the civil war or other periods? there's always a little bit more civil war and have trouble sort of getting into the american revolution so thatt is question number one and number two is do you like samuel adams? [laughter] >> you're the first person torl ask either of those questions in particular the second one. i don't have an immediate

and yet the family several generations massachusetts um puritan roots. was there anything about the past, about his own past, about the puritan past that that came through him that was still recognizable? i think you can see the puritan thinking in a lot of the letters early on and definitely in the newspaper pieces in all ways. mean there's just a i mean, this been said so many times but that that republican schism is a sort of more secular form of puritanism and you really see that in a lot of adams's early essays we know that he always had a sort of religious story for every occasion and, you know, often spoke in sort of religious aphorisms. but you see it a lot. i mean, he's writing pseudonymous slave in the newspapers over many and under at least 30 pseudonyms. and some of those are some of those essays are actually quite religious fact in their in their founding. so you see you see that across board and that's another reason i say, by the way that he's forgotten is that i think thinks very much after the revolution things will go back to a sort of

the gentleman from massachusetts is recognized. the gentleman from massachusetts reserves. the gentleman from pennsylvania. mr. reschenthaler: i yield to the next speaker of the house, kevin mccarthy. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman is recognized for one minute. mr. mccarthy: we are two days away from christmas. the christmas season is the season of giving, but in congress it appears the season of giving will line the pockets of democrats' special interests and stick the hardworking americans with the tab the. that's what this omnibus does. my friend says no it's the democrats who have put people before politics. they are so giving that they are putting the people before politics. what does that mean? what is the definition when you are so caring and care so deeply about the people that you put them first before any politics? let's look, because that's what they say this omnibus does for them. guess how many pages, over 4,000 of pet projects, pork and progressive priorities. guess how much it costs? $1.7 trillion and add it all up and the pay-go, we are talking more

in fact, massachusetts, massachusetts, not south carolina, not a north carolina, not virginia, massachusetts was the first colony to set up the first legal precedent around sleeping. english north american call is. and that precedent was adopted in a document known as the body of liberties in 16 41. and this body of liberties established the legality of slavery. the way that they established this legality of slavery, was for those people, quote, taken in just, wars are those strangers as to willingly saw themselves. or arsenal to us. remember, when we looked at the laws, the early laws in virginia that you have this kind of language that isn't as defined. so, you can see they are trying to keep some flexibility in case they need to change how they are going to be doing this. when to massachusetts slave merchants joined with a london slave raider in a massacre of an african village in 16 45, the colonial government registered with this indignation. this is man stealing. you can still see there some debate as to the morality of what is happening. this, of course, coming down from a religious g

and speaking to you for marblehead, massachusetts, which is my home and i want to thank the national archives for inviting me to give this talk today on rebels at sea and privateering in the american revolution. just a little more background of me. i've been a full-time writer since about 2007. most of my books are in american history. usually, they have a maritime component. i've spoken at the national archives the number a number of times in the past, some of the books that have written include the via thin, the history of whaling in the americas for fortunate empire, a history of free trade in america, black flags blue waters, the epic history of america's most notorious pirates. in my last, book a furious guy in the history of american hurricanes. but today, i'm here to talk about privateering in the american revolution it was late in the day on june the 3rd, 17, 81 salem captain jonathan hydrogen is a privateer. -- meanwhile, in bilbo, we're express that there was about to be a major naval battle offshore, putting the americans against the british in about 1000 people wandered t

the gentleman from massachusetts. mr. mcgovern: madam speaker, i'm proud to yield a minute and a half to my distinguished colleague from connecticut, mrs. hayes. the speaker pro tempore: the gentlelady from connecticut is recognized. mrs. hayes: thank you, madam speaker. i rise in support of the resolution 1156, building on 20 years of success of the mcgovern-dole international food for education and child nutrition programs. for two decades, the mcgovern-dole nutrition program has led the way in alleviating hunger and improving food security around the world. i deeply believe in the core values of this nutrition program because as a teacher i saw with my own eyes that hungry kids don't learn. it is one of the greatest investments congress can make, by providing at least one nutritious meal per day to vulnerable children in schools across the world, we are also investing in their development and their education. beyond these children and their families, we also continue to support u.s. producers. during my time as the 201

massachusetts governor-elect maura healey joins me now. governor-elect healey, first of all, congratulations, how are you feeling today? >> it's great to be with you, alex. i am so happy. you know, today represents so much for our state. we were the state really through the work of so many brave same-sex couples who came forward in the goodrich case, that was the case that established marriage equality here in massachusetts. first in the world. and then where the state that successfully challenged doma. so to see that couple today, alex, from north hampton, massachusetts, and so many lawyers, advocates, mary donato, among them, who championed this cause for so long. to see them today and to see the president sign this. and to see, also, alex, a significant move by congress. remember, this is a bipartisan rejection of threats to freedoms and protections that really are in place as a result of the bergerfeld decision, it's an important day and i'm so happy. >> as you should be. i want to talk about who voted for and who voted against it, rig

that is a gerrymander cartoon of the state set district and essex county, massachusetts. but what often gets left out of the story visit not only was gerrymandering happening long before elbridge gerry allegedly created this original and essexs county, but gary himself is not responsible to the plan that led to his everlasting historical infamy. that led to his most lasting legacy thing gary and the salamander which is said to resemble. that became attached to this unseemly practice of manipulating districts for political gain. gary had, if you believe his biographer and most of the contemporary historical accounts and covered, all suggested gary himself was not especially keen on the plan. he thought it was overly partisan. he thought that it was untoward and nefarious. really kind of went along the because more than that he wanted to get the stuff done that he had been elected to do. getting that done controlling the state legislature. all the original was created by the massachusetts state legislature it was gary's name then became attached to it. so if there's one thi

i'm speaking to you from marblehead, massachusetts, which is my home. and i want to thank the national archives for inviting me to give this talk on rebels at sea privateering in the american. just a little more background on me. i've been a full time writer since about 2007. most of my books are in american history, usually have a maritime component. i've spoken at the archives a number of times in the past. of the books include the history of whaling in america for fortune, an empire, a history of fur, trade in america, black flags, blue waters, the epic history of america's notorious pirates and my last book, a furious scar on the history of american hurricanes. but today i am here to talk about privateering and american revolution. it was late the day on june 3rd, 1780, when salem captain jonathan harrod and his privateer, the pickering, were heading for the friendly port of bilbao, spain. the british achilles, however, stood in the way nobody would have faulted had he fled in the face of this superior foe. while the pickering had a crew of 38 men a

and so those people would then go on the ship, desire and come back up to massachusetts. and this was a very important moment in history because. this was the first time that enslaved african people sold in new england. and this was 1638. so remember, talked about kind of all of these dates, 16, 19, 16, 27 with new york and now 1638 here with the desire. now this becomes the policy. this becomes something that people are looking to do. they start to see how this is a way both dispossess indigenous people of their of their homelands and also make some money and be kind of a lasting way to to claim the land and so i want to talk a little bit about how they did this right. so is an idea that people start think that the european colonies start to think is a good policy and so they decide to to start doing this in subsequent wars. in fact, in 1940, it's in 1646 and 1946. this is a long over, thank goodness. but in 1646, it was just it becomes the official policy in new england and in fact, master massachusetts, not south carolina, not north carolina, not, you know, virginia. m

i went to the massachusetts historical society. the game is story about how members of the families that were involved they were so ashamed of their family being associated with it that they would come and sit by the big fireplace and they would go through the papers that look bad and, then we throw the men, throw them in there is affiliate willful destruction of family history here, right? people don't want to be known as the people who killed 100 innocent people. at the same time, the survival of papers can be difficult as well just from the passage of time. but also what people think is important, right? people might not have thought this is really that important paper to remember. i do a lot of work in the livingston family papers. which are huge. they really are enormous. you see a lot of survival their account books. sometimes will be correspondence has. it disappears. you want to know what's happening. in, course they were interested in keeping the account books, right? they didn't care that you want to know what's going on

that is the gerrymander cartoon of the state senate district in essex county massachusetts. but what often gets left out of this story is that not only was gerrymandering happening long before elbridge gerry allegedly created this original gerrymander in essex county but gerry himself was not even responsible for the plan that laled to his everlasting historical infamy. that led to his most lasting legacy being the portmanteau of gerry and salamander which the district was said to resemble that became attached to this emkind of unseemly practice of manipulating districts for political gain. gerry had, if you believe his biographer most of the contemporary historical accounts that i uncover all suggested that gerry himself was not t especially keen on the plan. he thought it was overly partisan. he thought that it was untoward and nefarious but he kind of went along with it because more than that he wanted to get stuff done he had been elected to do. and getting that done and controlling the state legislature . so while the original gerrymander was created by the massachusett

so while the original jeremy ender was created by the massachusetts state legislature, it was gary's name that became attached to it. so if there's one thing that i hope this book does, it's that ed, at least to some extent vindicates the historical of elbridge gary, who is remembered chiefly this even though he went to serve as vice president of, the united states under james madison, even though he was one of the massachusetts delegates to the constitutional in philadelphia and was extremely influential in the creation of, the bill of rights. gary, i think would made a great presidential candidate. well, if he were a younger and his age was, pretty much the only thing that prevented him being remembered as james successor as president rather than for this unseemly practice. gary passed away while he was serving as vice president under madison and the rest course is history. and so once i realized that everything we thought knew about the origins of jerry was pretty much wrong, i tried to find out what was the earliest historical example of gerrymandering occurring on american conti

samuel adams was busy raising -- in massachusetts. over and over again saying here are the pins of the revolution. here are the prime movers. here are the fundamental figures. samuel adams is almost always first on his list. i think that the reasons are actually fairly good ones.y, first and foremost, he is an extraordinarily modest man who does not put himself at centerstageap. much happier moving eight john adams or a john hancock to that to the limelight while he recedes into the background. other reason as a recruiter to be remembered because he was always through finding the most able-bodied, bringing them in some way. he answers only to one judge. john adamsng is collecting his letter. driding writing to state on trae samuel himself and say you owe it to history. you're 40 years of writings, you need to assemble your papers. we also know from john adams for reasons of security, while the two of them are sitting with philadelphiae , first of the fie so that none of their confederates can be compromised. some documents simply go m

women couldn't even sit on a jury in massachusetts until 50. so this idea that we've ever had a jury of the defendant's peers, you know, let's not even get into the systematic exclusion of people color, which continued on and continues on today. right. this idea that we have a citizen jury of our peers is simply false. and in a way largely the practice of plea bargaining that took cases away from juries because. juries were too dangerous. so you both sort of talk about leading up to this point in the 1970s, where the u.s. supreme court has asked, consider whether or not this practice that has developed is, in fact, legal. and dan, you began your book with the story of paul hayes, who's a subject of this case and at the end of of mr. hayes's trial, he received something that you both refer to as a trial text. dan, could you read us, mr. hayes, a story from your book? sure. the whole story, right. all right. i'll stop you. november 20th, 1972, was a crisp fall day in eastern kentucky. the had turned their final shades of rust and yellow. the air
