illness. her events were packed with a meeting with a bipartisan group and national security experts. she did an interview with cnn's chris cuomo. she did a fund-raiser and we don't have an answer to why she did not cut back given the diagnosis. other than this is a presidential campaign and close race and having covered her for a couple of decades, she has a tendency to keep going no matter what. now the campaign has more questions to answer as her health has become a major campaign issue. john and christine. >> transparency is an issue. they knew friday. she was diagnosed with friday. they told the world on sunday she had it. the question is would they have told us at all had she not stumbled. one person we have not heard from on this subject, donald trump. he has not uttered a word about clinton's health. sources in the campaign say they want to be respectful and staffers have been ordered not to post anything negative on social media. the campaign wants to get this out that any violation of the order could be grounds for termination. let's get the latest from scott mclean in washi

bipartisan national defense panel. we will also seek to develop a state-of-the-art miss ill defense system. >> this was trump's second visit to philadelphia in the last five days. pennsylvania, of course, a crucial battleground state. trump's visit to philadelphia brought out protesters. a boisterous but otherwise peaceful group. a few supporters came out for a glimpse of the candidate and a chance to hear what he had to say. both sides told "eyewitness news" where they stand on trump. >> let them know a bigot cannot come into our city, we are willing to work with our allies to come together, donald trump is not welcome here in philadelphia. >> obamacare has been a disaster. i think from that standpoint, if mr. trump can come in and correct that problem, i think i'm going to advocate for him to be president. >> we're about two months away from election day, you can count on "eyewitness news" for complete coverage of campaign 16. >>> former attorney general kathleen kane needs money, she's asking a judge to order her estrangeded husband to pay her $1 million out of about 6 million she says she she says she should receive fr

the house passed h.r. 2646, representative murphy's bill, helping families with mental illness with strong bipartisan support but the senate has yet to take action on this vital piece of legislation. there could be no more delay. our nation has suffered the loss of over 70,000 lives as a result of mental illness, many of which could have been prevented. mental illness deficient states our criminal justice system, our communities and our families. we cannot arrest our way out of this problem. i urge our senate colleagues to advance this bill so we can intervene before more americans lose their lives to this treatable disease. i yield back. the speaker pro tempore: for what purpose does the gentleman from california seek recognition? >> permission to dress the -- address the house for one minute. the speaker pro tempore: without objection. the gentleman is recognized for one minute. mr. lowenthal: thank you, mr. speaker. i rise to recognize my constituent, mr. tony lamb. tony fled vietnam in 1975, during the fall of sigeon. he was a political target because of his work with the united states government

bipartisan national defense panel. we will also seek to develop a state-of-the-art miss ill defense system. >> this was trump's second visit to philadelphia in the last five days. pennsylvania, of course, a crucial battleground state. trump's visit to philadelphia brought out protesters. a boisterous but otherwise peaceful group. a few supporters came out for a glimpse of the candidate and a chance to hear what he had to say. both sides told "eyewitness news" where they stand on trump. >> let them know a bigot cannot come into our city, we are willing to work with our allies to come together, donald trump is not welcome here in philadelphia. >> obamacare has been a disaster. i think from that standpoint, if mr. trump can come in and correct that problem, i think i'm going to advocate for him to be president. >> we're about two months away from election day, you can count on "eyewitness news" for complete coverage of campaign 16. >>> former attorney general kathleen kane needs money, she's asking a judge to order her estrangeded husband to pay her $1 million out of about 6 million she says she she says she should receive fr

illness until sunday. her weekend was packed with events. a meeting with the bipartisan group of national security experts and she took a few questions. she did an interview with cnn's chris cuomo. she did a fund-raiser. we don't have an answer to why she didn't start cutting back given the diagnosis other than what we know. this is a presidential campaign and close race and having covered her for a couple of decades, she has a tendency to keep going no matter what. now the campaign definitely has more questions to answer as it is clear her health has become a major campaign issue. john and christine. >> so donald trump has not talked about this. he has not uttered a word or tweeted a character about this health scare. sources in his campaign say they want to be respectful and staffers have been ordered not to post anything negative on social media. any violation could be grounds for termination. a message and strategy within the trump campaign to leave this one alone. >> they don't want to become part of the story. respectful now is differently than the way they handled

convincing explanation for how the multistake holder model will be ill immune to influences this criticism is widespread. it's bipartisan and unified behind the need to preserve freedom online. >> thank you and very briefly without objection i'd like to enter each of the three stalts into the record. >> absolutely. >> first if i might briefly speak to my friend, neighbor and former colleague, now secretary of state, the come mens that he has made related very narrowly to.llc and .inc and whether or not they were being governed or managed in a way that could be misused by entities that are not legal corporations to represent that they are corporations and has nothing to do with the transition process that is before us today. let me ask two questions and then make a comment if i could. first to the assistant secretary is there anything about this transition that will newly empower foreign governments to sensor the internet? >> no. >> is there anything about failing to make this transition that might empower foreign governments to have a greater role in the structure and architecture of the internet if we don't move forwar

thousands of retired mine workers, many of them suffering from serious illnesses, are still waiting for us to work on the bipartisan miners protection act. but this afternoon i'd like to focus on another area where unfortunately the senate has failed to do our job. an important job, part of our constitutional requirements, and that is to make sure that we end this unprecedented obstruction regarding the vacancy on the supreme court. it's now been a record breaking 182 days since president obama nominated judge merrick garland and yet 182 days later the supreme court is still focused -- is still forced to function one justice short. it's an example of washington dysfunction at its absolute worse. the senate has confirmed supreme court justices during presidential election years at least 17 times so there's no reason why this should be a partisan issue. until recently both parties have recognized the senate's constitutional responsibility to advise and consent on the president's nominations to the supreme court. president reagan himself said and i quote -- "every day that passes with the supreme court below full stre

bipartisan support. its prospects in the senate is murky, says "the post." it will address the mentally ill. it should not fall victim to the hyperpartisan gun debate, end quote. mr. speaker, if the senate won't listen to "the denver post," or "the wall street journal" or "the washington post," will they listen to the voices of the american people? if we have a daily addition of 118 lives lost to suicide, since september 1, it's been 1,400. and since the house passed, over 8,000 lost their lives. total since we passed the bill is 65,212 since we passed h.r. 2646. more lives will be lost if we do not fix this broken mental health system that is so desperately in need of repair. it's time that the senate listens to the voices of the millions who are crying out for help, and for today's new total of 959 more lives, tomorrow is too late. millions of americans are pleading with the senate, do not go home at the end of this month without passing a bill that the house can also pass and get signed into law, the helping families in mental health crisis act is just that law. we need the senate to vote

the bipartisan legislation expands access to high quality affordable health care coverage options for americans suffering from serious kidney illness. esrd is the only pre-existing condition that explicitly patients from enrolling in medicare advantage. this bill removes the harmful federal restriction that has for too long blocked patients withes railroad from enrolling in medicare advantage plans. the question is why should kidney disease patients be denied a choice and all other medicare beneficiaries have. the short answer is, they shouldn't. these patients should have the same option. once this bill is passed and signed into law, my colleagues and i will be constantly watching the centers for medicare a medicaid services to make sure they fulfill their responsibility to properly risk adjust payment in a transparent manner. the bill requires a report of the effects of this legislation on risk adjustment and i will be watching to make sure they get it right. i recognize the hard work that went into this bill and thank mr. lewis, mr. bilirakis, mr. schrader and mr. marino and the ways and means and energy and commerce committee t

bipartisan, prosecond amendment legislation that would help make these tragedies less common. my bill would close a dangerous loophole in our background check system that allows criminals, domestic abusers, and dangerously mentally ill to bypass a background check in 34 states when purchasing guns online, at a gun show, or through classified ads. background checks are a first line of defense when it comes to making sure that dangerous people don't purchase guns. we know that when used they work. every day background checks stop more than 170 felons, some 50 domestic abusers, and nearly 20 fugitives from buying a gun. but sadly this gaping hole allows those same felons, domestics abusers, and fugitives to easily bypass the background check when buying firearms. bipartisan 187 co-authors and 90% of the american people support strengthening and expanding our background check system. mr. speaker, let us have a vote on this bill. gun violence shouldn't be a partisan issue. when deranged gunmen open fire in a nightclub, a movie theater, or school, they don't care if you're a democrat or republican. together we can build a country in which all americans feel safe being who they are. having fun at a nightclub, going to scho

ills. this bill fits in by bringing the cases by interstate workers in order to reduce compliance costs. i would say, mr. speaker, in regard to this bill, this bill enjoys broad bipartisan support and 180 co-sponsors and minimize burdens for workers and employers so they can create and perform jobs. we have received letters of support. but this bill is not just about business. it's about individuals. one business owner told the judiciary committee that the compliance burdens from the patchwork of state laws falls on the employees who make less than $50,000 per year and those who have limited resources seek professional advice. may not seem a lot by those who oppose this bill. it is a great burden. it has been questioned whether there will be revenue lost in these states. analysts said it will affect the revenues. this legislation is a great example of congress working in a bipartisan way to relieve burdens on hardworking americans. i urge members to support the bill. and i reserve the balance of my time. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from michigan reserves. the gentleman from new york is recognized. mr. nadler: i yield five minutes to the gentleman from georgia
