i thank them for their service to staten island, to our city, to our nation, and to the world. mr. speaker, i yield back. the speaker pro tempore: the chair recognizes the gentlewoman from oregon, ms. bonamici, for five minutes. ms. bonamici: thank you, mr. speaker. i rise today in strong opposition to the administration's decision to pause or end or as the unelected billionaire elon musk said, feed into the wood chipper, government payments for food aid. the thoughtless plan to shut down or pause the work of the u.s. agency for international development, usaid, is wrong for many reasons, but it's especially harmful to people around the globe who can starve without this food aid, and it's harmful to the u.s. businesses and american farmers who sell their agricultural products to the u.s. government. in 2020 the u.s. government bought more than $2 billion in food aid from american farmers. but right now because of this wrong decision by the administration, there is about 500,000 tons of food, including rice, wheat, and soybeans, at risk of spoiling. much of it is stockpiled in ports

residences and living patterns in the eastern district of new york, which consists of brooklyn, staten island, queens, and two long island counties suffolk and nassau county. so it's divided into 94 districts and it is basically a population oriented dynamic. in new york we have four of the 96 district court's. we have the eastern district, which i just mentioned, the southern district is manhattan, westchester, some of the upstate counties near westchester, between the eastern and southern districts, that is where most of the action happens, between brooklyn, manhattan, thereabouts. the other two districts are upstate. the northern district covers albany, utica, up to canada and then buffalo, rochester. that basically is how the state of new york is divided in terms of the federal districts. i think there are 94 federal districts, not 96. we have four of them. so eastern district and southern district, basically those in the united states are the primary courts which handle a lot of high-profile cases because it is new york and it basically is a rough education about how the federal courts g

i went into an office where the first person i spoke to was from staten island. her commute to midtown manhattan usually was at least 90 minutes each way, sometimes two hours. and that day, for the first time in her life. >> it was. >> 45 minutes and she wasn't even driving. she was riding the express bus from staten island, and that's when i realized congestion pricing just might turn out to be the most popular thing that has happened in government in new york city in a very long time, because the bus riders. >> were very happy. >> new york city roadways intersect with the interstate highway system. so there are three levels of governmental interest involved in congestion pricing the government of new york city, the government of new york state, and the federal government. within a couple of days, most people in new york politics breathed a huge sigh of relief, realizing that not only had the plan worked exactly as intended, even better than intended by breaking gridlock, but it could end up being the most popular thing they've ever done. president biden signed

amount of people that i come across across this state, i was just at an immigrant rights group on staten island single day worried if they're going to wake up without their mother or their father, terrorized right here in new york through no fault of their own. so let's not get lost in the narrowing of this conversation. we have hundreds of thousands, hundreds of thousands of undocumented immigrants who are in new york, who have been here for a long time, who are possibly contributing to our state in a meaningful and thoughtful way. yes, we can deal with the individuals who have been here committing crimes, and we should. but let's not narrow the conversation down to the point where it's only about a sliver of the population, which is not reflective of the vast majority of folks who live in this state. >> lieutenant governor antonio delgado, thank you so much for taking the time. i really appreciate you joining me tonight. coming up, brand new episodes of our new project, the blueprint, are out today. one of my guests is my former boss, who knows a whole lot about democratic politics. and we're

i am from staten island originally and i am a software university. and so i to go back to the idea of alien versus alien evil versus alien evil rights and to sort of the foundation of this question is the quote from justice janice rogers brown, which is, we do not create laws as we discover them. and so i want to ask you, because i'm curious to hear your perspective on this question about, the alien right to property but the unalienable right to happiness and to sort of apply it in a modern context because what the room for if not for application so homelessness increased 18% in 2024 and there's a mixture of reasons inflation when lords sort of price gouging short term housing and also private firms up empty empty apartments. and so i know there's a huge emphasis in the like in the world of coolidge and also in in the free market economy a free market economy to limit government intervention as much as possible. i want to ask you, to what extent should the government intervene and if the right to happiness if the right to property is being precluded

and the issue for my constituents, middle-class families and staten island, brooklyn, a lot of them did not benefit from the salt deduction because of the alternative minimum tax. we have to make sure that does not come back, but we are as stake members, looking to provide an increase to that salt deduction. we recognize the reason we need salt relief is because our mayors and governors treat taxpayers like atm machines. they continued to hammer them over the head year after year, property tax levy goes up, they don't want to cut the personal income tax rates at the local or state level like we saw president trump due at the federal level. we recognize it is a problem created by our local and state governments, but nonetheless we met with president trump, we had a successful meeting. he does want to help. he has been willing to provide relief from the federal level to help those middle-class families. i guess my question for you first and foremost is, the alternative minimum tax should not come back, right? if so what impact would that be on middle-class families? ms. gallagher: thank y
