later in the week, the national security service, meanwhile, has said it will continue arresting people to believe a connected to the violence malcolm web address era. focused on how to set a deadline to thousands of f can nationals to leave by the end of the month as part of, of repatriation plan. many as of ask in microns to live in pockets down many fled up to the telephone, return to a pallet and 2021. the you in is concerned about the multi phase plan. that includes some people who will promise that'd be relocated to the us and the other countries, the interior ministry, ones, mass deportations will begin for those who don't go by the end of the month. and he has goal is the executive director of the center for research and security studies . he says, buck a sounds plan with his intentions with afghanistan. this is only going to aggravate the situation for the positive on the con, volleyball, and find themselves up under extreme pressure. this is economic adversity and the, drying up all flop international humanitarian assistance. that is finishing the outline government right now

well the national security service has said that it's has made arrests following the there's a risk that you that you just mentioned that, but it said that it's only arrested people who it believes connected to the violence that's taken place and it has enough the rest of people because of political affiliation at all because of their ethnicity or any other reason. it seems that even continue making arrest the people that suspects being involved. supervisors, adams taking place in recent weeks, including those incidents that you mentioned. meanwhile, the un un of joined others cooling for at the escalation, cooling for com and expressing atkinson a t a. c is a great threat to the 2018 p stale. as it ended a 5 year civil war at the killed about 400000 people. you know, as i mentioned, the united states is ordered as non emergency government personnel to, to leave the country. what impact is that going to happen? i guess, what does it tell us about just how dangerous the united states is? it believes that this could become of the many thousands of people, dependent on humanitarian aid in d

a w secure the local emergency broadcast station national weather service says it has sat a tornado near the greater cincinnati airport. here is the national weather service. the latest report, it is a funnel cloud and it looks to be about 200 feet off. no, no. it is touching the ground. what is it doing now? heading toward how quickly the emergency operating is manned by civil defense and members of the hamilton county disaster council. it was emergency c. go ahead. the tornado tornado bring down. it's really been a huge. funnel rips across the ohio river passes just west of cincinnati, roars on through hamilton county. so. about 808 five feet increase. a reported 463 can play hail is a shambles. nine six to go ahead this morning. this road has been wiped. how low was all the solid. i know when you get over everything we got 1962 now one point after after area of they they also have the same problem. we're trying to see what we can for several defense, civil defense, the city of elmwood is requesting all possible assistance that can be rendered. they have advised that their city is now

name that was a lot of this and you know, special unit of the russian national governors, together with the federal security service, a found documents, there was information uncovered, the children were vaccinated in this facility. and you know, there is evidence of international european organizations being involved all the data along with all the documents that passed on to other services in order to continue the investigation. so do you know, among the documents found in an orphanage in lucy chomsky while there was a list of over 20 children who were administered injections of unknown vaccines, brought by 4 and medical personnel. that would mean when we lived under ukraine, all employees were forced to vaccinate. there are 2 vaccines, i know of the cold pedro and madera, and they were full of the vaccines issue, the contents of which was unknown to us. we would not allow to walk without being vaccinated under threat of being fired. and we will also told that we have to vaccinate the kids because cove it is spreading. i know of one case where a mom died afterwards, but we know nothing about the face of those kid

last night we're seeing that the remnants of the regime attacking the security, the forces in the national hospital game, the service center off of my pack. yeah, i'm killing team members of the security forces and the to, and security forces have killed at least a members of 8 of them is of the or the gene. but those that was not all in the port of my pack. ya. so we have seen that the, the, the, the, the loyalist attacking the security forces and in return to say that they have the power of that attack. however, that is an important business have for cdn, it's almost is the biggest c port. we'll see that that's connecting the cd up to the world better the security forces are seeing that they're pretty in control of distribution in the city center or flip back yet, the other hand in tattoos. the 2nd largest city in the course of the area off, see if you so the syria security forces are seeing the leading, controlling the city center as well. but in japan and in bon yes, in kind of about how these are relatively small as towns still that are secured, which has in the city centers have a now we can see that the fight

there's a name that was a lot of this and you know, special unit of the russian national got together with the federal security service, a found documents, there was information uncovered, the children were vaccinated in this facility. and you, there is evidence of international european organizations being involved, all the data along with all the documents that were passed on to other services in order to continue the investigation. so do you know, among the documents found in an orphanage in lucy chomsky while there was a list of over 20 children who were administered injections of unknown vaccines, brought by foreign medical personnel. that would mean when we lived under ukraine, all employees were forced to vaccinate. there are 2 vaccines. i know of the cold pie, dra madera, and they were full of the vaccines issue, the contents of which was unknown to us. we would not allow to walk without being vaccinated under threat of being fired. and we will also told that we have to box and ate the kids because cove it is spreading. i know of one case where a mom died afterwards, but we know nothing about the fate of those

national security. i have strong views on this question because during my first service at the national security council, one of the areas that i oversaw was electronic warfare. some have taken the position that making spectrum available for commercial use is undesirable because dod uses the remaining bands. i agree that it is critical for dod to maintain the capabilities it needs to accomplish its mission. however, we have an opportunity to expand those capabilities while creating opportunities for commercial use. there is also a misunderstanding about whether congress needs to provide new statutory protections so that spectrum reallocation doesn't threaten national security. as one example, under an existing statutory provision, dod cannot surrender spectrum unless the secretary of defense and the chairman of the joint chiefs certify that they will maintain essential military capabilities. the biggest misconception we confront is that we only need to ensure that dod has continued access to spectrum to prevail in the electromagnetic domain. the reality is that our military's budget is dwarfed by the co

national security concerns associated with the lpta f.a.r. standard. instead of looking at the initial price tag and procuring the cheapest product or service, it's vitally important that the united states government understand the national security implications of -- implications associated with its federal procurement policies. i want to thank the ranking member, mr. connolly, for co-leading this bipartisan initiative with me. i urge my colleagues to support this commonsense piece of legislation, and i yield back the balance of my time. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from florida yields back. the gentleman from kentucky reserves. the gentleman from virginia is recognized. mr. connolly: we have no more speakers on this side and are prepared to close if the majority. is. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman reserves. the gentleman from kentucky is recognized. mr. comer: i have no further speakers and am prepared to close. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman is recognized. the gentleman reserves. the gentleman from virginia is recognized. mr. connolly: thank you, mr. speaker. once again, i believe this is a commonsense approach to contracting

consumers and it is really a matter not just of competition but of national security and health andum human service with those framing remarks, i want to invite andy and john to make remarks of their own, and we'll have some conversation and then we're going throw it open to questions for all of you. so thanks again. and welcome john and andy. >> thanks so much. diana, thanks to the progressive policy really great to be here an great to be here with all of you. i want to just offer a few remarks to kind of underscore really a lot of what diana has already said and to offer a little bit about what we did at usda under biden-harris administration to tackle food and agriculture to do our best to bring prices, bring inflation down, and to bring more opportunity to rural america. because -- it is absolutely the case that these challenges -- should i start again or -- >> well let me just -- incase you couldn't hear me -- let meb just start at the top. i want to really underscore andy greene i was senior advice for competitive markets at usda over last four years i want to underscore what great remarks th

service members and their families. and it would impede our ability to react to national security threats. even some of my republican colleagues agree with me on this point. one republican colleague has said a continuation resolution is bad for our military, and weakens our national security. a c.r. means new weapons programs cannot get started. ship building will be delayed. a year-long c.r. means we are not serious about building a military that will deter the p.r.c., russia, or iran. the white house may be out of touch with reality when it comes to ukraine and supporting our allies abroad, but their felty to vladimir putin does not mean the united states can resign the role in standing for democracies around the world. washington republicans need to get it together. they control the white house, and they control congress. if they have a government shutdown, it falls on them and their inability to govern. i yield back the balance of my time. the speaker pro tempore: the chair recognizes the gentleman from illinois, mr. davis, for five minutes. mr. davis: thank you, mr. chairman. i rice t

advisor here if in new york city when the pope came to visit, when we had national security events, working with the secret service was absolutely essential. but again, has that changed? could it get better? these are all the a questions that need to be done right now except inn the trump presidency. raich rich the trump add administration is canceling $400 million in grants to columbia with university because of ongoing protests. what do you make of what's going on at columbia, and do you think there's going to be changes from the university given what the administration's doing? >> currently, the department of justice and department of state are examining what has gone on on the campuses. first of all, let's be clear, anti semitic behavior, anti any group behavior on campus should never be with allowed if it involved any type of violence itself. so what you have here, obviously, you have that fine line between the ability to protest and then the safety of other students. and president so the county of justice is taking -- the department of justice is taking this very seriously. the department of state has announ

as i said before a nonpartisan civil service employees play a vital role in protecting national security, caring for veterans and ensuring safety of our transportation system. your record of use include support for legislation that would make all federal employees at will gives me serious pause about how you will manage the federal workforce. we finally have questions about your record of disregard for independent oversight including retaliatory actions by revealing the name of a whistleblower. i appreciate you being here today both of you to answer these questions and how you intend to manage the operations in the budget of federal government if you are confirmed to the role. chr. paul: mr. edgar is being introduced by senator johnson. senator johnson you are for your introduction. sen. johnson: it is my pleasure to introduce mr. troy edgar, mr. president trump nominee for -- is from loss alameda's california, and serve as a mayor and county official for years. is also a u.s. navy veteran with executive experience providing leadership and advisory services to companies across a range of

this waiver is fake because there is a clear national security interest for keeping all of these servicebers. so one thing to note is that in the first trump administration, his trans troop ban was just about people coming into the military that you couldn't recruit people who were trans. now they are actually kicking out the thousands of service members who are currently serving who are trans. that means we are losing thousands of service members who have years and years of experience. many of these are senior enlisted folks who have deployed multiple times, have very specific training and capabilities. you know, i was talking to someone who was one of the only civilian evacuation people in her unit, talking to another one who worked in the special warfare unit doing very specialized training, like to replace the kinds of talent that we are going to lose. it will take 20 years and billions of dollars, and that is not good for our national security. these are folks who have already met all of the requirements to serve already. if you cannot deploy for over a year for any reason, you have

. >> new doge cuts coming for the national weather service, the pentagon and reportedly the social security a inistration. i'm caroline shive in strict dublin. dublin unified school board voted to cut 30 or so jobs, including 13 teachers, by the summer. many of the teaching positions impacted are electives like languages or music. the district says it needs to cut spending by around $6 million for the next school year. the board says it will consider reversing cuts if the district can find a way to bring in more money. berkeley unified is considering laying off an effort in an effort to balance the budget. the district reportedly sent out notices to teachers and staff members warning of possible job cuts that could happen before the next school year. however, the superintendent stresses the district has still not made a final decision on possible job cuts. berkeley unified is currently facing an $8 million budget deficit. >> the trump administration's cost cutting measures are sweeping through more federal agencies, cutting jobs and programs as they go. today, we're expecting to learn more

things that we need to address as a country, not to mention all the national security concerns that we deal with in the armed servicesith the pentagon. these things require budgetary changes. you wouldn't have the same exact budget in your household as you did last year. just copy and paste. that doesn't work too well. of course, the other option for the republicans is shutting the government down. we're perilously close to doing that to. >> all right. let's you mentioned veterans. i want to get to that because there's been so much backlash specifically to the cuts to veterans services, along with swaths of veterans who've been losing their jobs. politico reports even some republican lawmakers are making panicked calls to the white house opposing the cuts, and service members and those who treat them, they're speaking out at town halls. take a listen. >> i'm an army veteran, and i became a. trauma therapist. >> to work specifically. >> with current military veterans and their family members. these reckless actions are. literally going to cause. service members and veterans their lives. for providers, it's going to im

loss at least $1 billion taxpayer or public health or safety delivery of essential services to americans, national security, privacy, economic growth or rights of citizens. these potential billions of dollars could be better use the for lowering taxes, i will proving roads or -- improving roads or making live better for people. the average american works too hard to have taxes wasted. i want to make sure they are being spent wisely and get more back to americans. this list helps track the progress of deficient cyst -- deficiencies to make better use of taxpayer money. they must be true to the purpose and remain stewards of taxpayer dollars but year after year bloated programs managed by the bureaucracy continue to fall short of goals and are plagued. there continues to be waste and abuse. for more than 30 years g.a.o. has provided members with this report yet familiar programs remain which were there at the beginning. americans are tired of the federal government failing its report card. the people elected president trump to drain the swamp and rein in the bureaucracy and he has delivered. he has tasked do

national security responsibilities, it will stay internal. now, contrast that with what we heard from health and human services the first time this email came out from opm. and they said, the health and human services says that assume what you write will be read by foreign actors. how can homeland security say, oh, we're safe. it will stay in house. and hhs says somebody who wants to hurt us is going to read this. just write that accordingly. >> are you asking me to to to determine whether there's a consistent message coming out of doge? the answer is no. i mean, it is, you know, you can't you can't square it because it's so random off the cuff through tweets, emails sent on weekends for monday deadlines. i mean, none of it. none of it is how a stable government, uh, and its workforce ought to behave or be subject to. you know, i know people will get into the debate whether what doge is doing is, is, is going to make us more efficient and undermine it. i don't even think we get there yet. the question we have to ask ourselves is this the process that we want to streamline services, to get government employees, um, to to disclose what they are d

national security strategy and national defense strategy. they put that together. by the time it comes out it's about three years behind the threat. then you look at the service branches and go okay, , our efft the plan is the pod, future document. by the time comes that you look at and go cost, that's about a year or so behind the threat. jason is right there . where is the threat most immediately identified? the unmet needs met. this is what when you come this way need today. i agree. how'd we push more money down to the cocoms? people of the chain in ost and the service pages give no, you can do that because with all these things in the planning documents that we have to do. what i argue is the planning process and how we identify the threat and how would operationalize resources towards the threat is behind the curve. we have to operationalize money and get a quicker in the hands of the war fighter. the operational efforts of what happens to things like radar, with socom acquisition, we talk about how innovative and cream that is but the problem is that is the exception rather than the rule. that has to be the rule. nsb the baseline. this is how were goin

national security agency we can and should and will polygraphph personnel. meanwhile, the effort to shrink federal government continues. health and human services employees were offered a buyout of $25,000 to resign from their jobs. that's according to a person who received the e-mail and an administration official. about 80,000 people work for that agency. they have until friday to decide if they're going to accept that offer, frances? >> alice, thank you. >>> now to washington where the secret service shot and wounded an armed man close to the white house. it happened just past midnight yesterday. local police reported what they called a suicidal individual traveling to d.c. secret service personnel shot him. president trump was not at the white house during the incident. >>> in new york, an attorney for a palestinian activist who helped organize protests at columbia university says he was arrested by i.c.e. nbc's camila bernal has more. >> reporter: a palestinian activist who helped lead the protests at columbia university is in i.c.e. custody. mahmoud kahlil's attorney saying he was wrongfully arrested by immigration gents. kahlil was one o

national security. the citizenship and immigration ser services ombudsmen has warned that chinese nationals in our university systems are engaged in widespread technological espionage both on campus and in the workplace. foreign stem students often take tech jobs that give them access to sensitive technologies. now, this shouldn't be possible. why? because the law clearly states that student visas are solely for study, not for work. outrageously, the department of homeland security has -- granted work authorization to these students. the department of homeland security has even allowed foreign students to stay in this country under their student visas for years after they graduate in order to work. if we want to protect our national security and our competitive economic competition with china, this must end. so i am hopeful that with new leadership at the department of homeland security, these unlawful work authorizations will no longer be approved. that leads me to calling on secretary noem to protect jobs, innovation and national security by terminating the cpt onned opt student work programs. in other wor

is about the national security strategy of the national defense strategy they put that together by the time that comes out it's about three years behind the threat then you look at the service branches they got okay, our effort of planning it is supposed to be a future document said by the time it comes out you look at it and go that's a year or so by the threat. jason is right. where is the threat most immediately identified the unmet needs list. they see on a daily basis this is whatt we need, this is what i need today. i a great how do we push down to the cocom's? people up the chain and service branches are going to say no you cannot do that we have all these things in these planning documents that we have to do. what i argue is the planning process helps identify the threat and how we operationalize resources toward the threat is just behind the curve. we have to operationalize a money get it quicker in the hands of the wariz fighter for e operational efforts of what happens in things we talk about how innovative and creative that is but the bloom is that is the exception rather than the t rule that has to be the rule this is how are going to do things it has to be clo

she talked about jobs, she talked about national security, from coming from a bipartisan household. she talked about being moved to serviceork on 9/11 and then signing up, she went to work for the cia and did three tours. and i see progressives criticizing her, saying this is the right way to handle it, you get this message and you go out and say george bush wasn't that bad or she had a line saying i'm glad donald trump wasn't an office instead of reagan because we would not have gotten out of the cold war. they are picking on her for praising reagan. take a step back. elissa slotkin just won a swing state. she won a state that donald trump won. if it weren't for people like her and tammy baldwin we would be in the world of trouble. these people saved the party. since 2021, democrats have moved, plus 11 in terms of wanting to be more moderate. a moderates over perform. the progressives underperformed by up to five points for the justice democrats so when i see people going at her about this, it's like mind your own business and show me what you have won lately. >> dana: there's jessica standing up. >> greg: there you go.

services, department of the bureau of contracting and business practices, improving small business administration, resolving federal housing, finance issues through hud, epa issues around environmental liability. there is national nuclear security on here, enforcing tax laws including the irs, improving certain fda and doi programs, improving v.a. service, cms programs, and also the regulation of the financial regulatory system, and all of these things are really about the transformation of how the federal government provides services, and i heard you just say to mr. lynch as well as to mr. -- that with respect to some of the specific programs that were asked about that the indiscriminate elimination of funding and staffing for these programs would not only fail to actually resolve the issues that you guys have identified about potentially make them worse. is that correct? >> that is a possibility. >> yes. so obviously, there's been a lot of conversation today in this committee about the actions that are being taken pursuant to doge by elon musk and this indiscriminate funding freeze that is happening, the dismantling of these programs, the hacking of federal data, and the mass firings, we know that there's more that are planne

national weather center. social security administration office and an indian health services office will remain operational inhy responded to cole's post with a hard truth that, quote, donald trump shuts off spending so that each congressman, governor, senator, mayor has to come pledge loyalty to get the money turned back on. julian denver are back with me. julie, let m get your thoughts on this. so is that a fair description? petitioning the king is the error that we find ourselves in. i mean, when you see it that way, that clearly it is simply a test that donald trump is this good cop, bad cop regime. elon musk shuts things down, cancels things, deletes things, and then donald trump waits for the local politician to come kiss the ring, pledge loyalty, and then he grants them whatever they want. >> it's like that scene out of the godfather, right? the first scene where, like, you know, don corleone, i come to you to ask you a favor and your daughter's wedding day, whatever that quote was, it's the same kind of thing. but it's not just congressman, right? it's companies who are going to get waivers from all t

and other security screening in developing viable alternatives to technologies and services currently dominated by p.r.c. firms. and u.s. terminal concessions are less problematic from a national security standpoint but should be scrutinized rigorously. second, u.s. must work closely with the government of panama to protect our vital national security interests that are concentrated at the panama canal and should include helping attract private capital to take over rescinded concessions and expand and upgrade existing facilities. third, rather than trying to match china's port, it should leverage our partners in asia and europe to compete collectively. finally, congress should prioritize legislation like the ships for americas bill proposed in the last congress to coordinate our national maritime strategy, including creating a maritime security adviser position, to improve strategic planning that integrates economic and national security concerns. challenges posed by china's port investments in the hemisphere are real but manageable with proper attention and coordinated response. thank for you the opportunity to testify and i'll look forward to your questions. mr. gimenez: tha

region is a stable way back home the and our security threats and the lack of services and they prefer to stay here until that changes with the for city, a nation of dying, of being held in damascus. city as new administration has rejected all forms of discrimination based on race, religion, or sect. it says, do you need all the liliana sees this camp along with the family school, friends, and neighbors as who are for the city a is a tell you to of atrocities. landmark hello. sure. yes of to syria was liberated. i heard of tool to inside know your prison. that's what i hear about syria from my parents. i don't know much else about syria, but despite that, i'm curious to see it because my parents wants to return home. those living in this can have residency permits, but they limit the ability to move outside the send me it to them is could this region some refugees already over it tells me to city. because the code to city and democratic forces o s d f is hesitant to surrender its arms to use on the camp has become a homeland for a generation, have been born and the grown up in your desire. yet many of their parents and older relatives are unabl
