the snap program is vital to over 400,000 residents in the state of connecticut. they rely on this assistance. many working mothers, many single parents rely on the supplemental nutrition assistance program to feed their children. as a teacher, i recognize that kids can't learn when they're hungry. this is not their fault. and i think the one thing that we're not talking enough about and the last point i'm going to make is that this shutdown is eroding people's confidence in government. i ran on the platform that government works, that good government works, and it's there to help people until they can help themselves and then at the point where they can stand, they turn around and give back to their communities. that was the platform i ran on. that's what got me elected. this idea that we help each other, that we are communities of people, that message mobilize young people, it energizes young people, engage people that never saw themselves as part of government. this is not government working. this is not what it's supposed to look like. this shutdown is not wha

the presiding officer: the senator from connecticut. mr. blumenthal: mr. president, my colleague from illinois is absolutely right. the votes are there to pass these six bills. the majority leader, in effect, is acting as a buffer for the president. he is not severing this body because he knows that his own members would vote for it and vote to reopen the government. and that is because they are hearing the american people tell them, as they are telling us, reopen the government. that was the message that senator schumer delivered. it is simple, direct; it is true. the american people want the government reopened, and they know we have disagreements all the time. we disagree about policy and politics and proposals in legislation, but we don't shut down the government simply because we disagree. the government continues to do its work and serve the american people, even as we have disagreements. and so our friends on the other side, the republican leadership, are complicit in this shutdown by refusing to permit us to do our duty and our work, which is to co

in new haven, connecticut, they were arrested. the case found its way to the supreme court. may 20, 1940, unanimously, the supreme court held in favor of the cantwell family. let me read you one sentence that shows you a turning point in the progression of american jurisprudence. the court said this, "the first amendment declares that congress shall make no law respecting the establishment of religion or prohibiting the free exercise thereof." up to cantwell, the spring court had determined the first amendment as protecting the people of the united states from the wrongs committed by federal authorities. who was arresting jehovah's witnesses? not the federal authorities. in with the municipal authorities. in a landmark turnaround, the supreme court added a sentence, "the 14th amendment has rendered the legislatures of the states" -- meaning connecticut -- "as incompetent as congress to enact such laws." so as an american today, you are protected under the first amendment not just by wrongs committed by federal authorities but wrongs committed by state and municipal authority

senator, thank you very much for making the trip down for us from connecticut. first, let me get your reaction to all of the news today in this bombshell report from buzzfeed. >> these revelations are deeply damning and this moment could be medic mortally threatening to this administration not only because of michael cohen but also because of the documents and i used to say as a prosecutor when i made summations to the jury, documents don't lie. they can go after michael cohen, but remember, michael cohen, at the time he testified to congress, was donald trump's personal lawyer, his fixer, so his saying to his lawyer or fixer, shade the truth, lie to congress, as bill barr has said very emphatically, it is a crime. >> from your position on capitol hill, sir, have you received or seen any information that corroborates what we have heard today in that buzzfeed reporting that michael cohen was encouraged to lie. >> i have no evidence to support this specific report. and if true, it is one of the sayings that's been repeated, but what we see here is a pattern of the

hundreds of federal workers across the country are per load as we speak, including over a thousand in connecticut but that ec not the extent of the damage when you start having folks at the airport security now able bo show up for their jobs because they have to work somewhere else in order to put food on the table when you start creating questions about whether food stamps are going to go out or get paid when you can have the department g of agriculture functioning to help our farmers he were starting to affect a whole lot of people. you are starting to drag down the entire economy. so, my hope, my wish is that we both reopen the federal government. the fact ofat the matter is this happens every now and again occasionally somebody makes a demand something they can't get through the normal political process and they say if they don't get that demand they are going t to shut down the government. every time i've been through one of these it is the party making the demand that relents and we agreed that isn't the way that isn't the proper way in order to try to get what you want in the united states
