connecticut relies on these workers, not just the 5000 in connecticut, but we rely on these workers to keep us safe, to keep our children safe and educated, to keep the lights on, to keep the heat going. i know that that national security and law enforcement officials are excepted from this buyout program. but what about the 6000 people that kash patel wants to treat immediately? this is very dangerous for connecticut and for states across the country. >> i do wonder if their argument is that they want to eliminate waste and make the federal government more efficient. whether you believe that is just a front. is it disingenuous? do you think that they have ulterior motives? >> yeah. not only is it disingenuous, but vivek ramaswamy before he was ejected from this effort, said that they wanted to be compassionate and be there for workers. but listen to russell vought, who's the president's nominee for the office of management and budget. he said that they want to traumatize workers, make it so unpleasant, make it so traumatic that they don't want to go to work. and so there's a much more

the speaker pro tempore: the chair now recognizes the gentleman from connecticut, mr. himes, for five minutes. mr. himes: thank you, mr. speaker. it's evident to me that two weeks into the new administration, we no longer have a congress, that we no longer take care that laws be faithfully executed. we passed a law that says twitter must eith beer sold or -- either be sold or shut down, but that doesn't matter, it's not. the constitution of the united states says that birth right citizenship is a fundamental constitutional right, but that doesn't matter. apparently it's not. and we've happily given up the power of the purse. usaid is is a legally established organization. whatever you may think of it. so we've given up the power of the purse. but, mr. speaker, what we cannot give up in this institution is our obligation to keep the american people safe. safe from terrorism, safe from gang violence, safe from fentanyl. and what concerns me as ranking member of the intelligence committee more than much of what i'm seeing out there is the attack, the purge of the federal

but then spent a lot of his later career, new england and a lot of people don't know that connecticut and massachusetts and knowing what states outside of rhode island kept to an official state church after the adoption of the first amendment, which which shows, again, that that first amendment in the bill of rights applied to the national government, it not not the states. and so, again, the baptist are clamoring for an end to the state established roots of religion. they found it obnoxious even to you know have to sign exemption from religious taxes. they could get exemptions but they had to do paperwork get it and they thought this is this still a violation of our religious liberty? they even have to do that. and so, i mean, one really illustrative is when jefferson writes baptists in connecticut about the wall will separate and between church and state and, he's talking about the established church in connecticut and the baptists said to him as president and. oh one 1802 you can't you do anything, get rid of this stinking establishment. and jefferson said, you know, i'm just the p

but the facilities that exist right now serving veterans in connecticut or kansas should be the gold standard. they ought to be top-flight. we want to give veterans the best care possible, would you agree with that one? >> 100%. >> thank you. let me just conclude by saying you know, this conversation seems a little bit surreal this morning because i'm getting emails from health care groups in connecticut whose funding has been frozen. these are suicide prevention, they are addiction treatment, they are payrolls that are halted. their budgets are in danger. we are talking about community care, potentially decimated. there's chaos and confusion as a result of this freezing of on this. in my prior life as attorney general, and the state of connecticut i would be in court saying that this action is illegal, it's unconstitutional. congress has the power of the purse, it is a procedure of power, monarchical and autocratic and it is a violation , but put aside the galleries, is potentially devastating to health care for veterans. the foxed suicide prevention program that is mentioned is jus

the presiding officer: the senator from connecticut. mr. blumenthal: as my colleague, senator schiff from california, has just powerfully stated, we are in the midst of a constitutional crisis. a crisis that would have been unimaginable just weeks ago, a crisis that involves a president disobeying the law. now presidents in the past have disobeyed the law, they sought to test the boundaries of their power, and the courts have blocked them, but never has a president violated so many significant laws and the constitution to rapidly, so repeatedly that we are, as senator schiff said, lost in the chaos. and it falls to the arbiors of -- ashors of law, it is also encouple bent on the enforcers of the law. any of us who have served in the department of justice -- i was the united states attorney for connecticut for four and a half years -- knows that the most important decisions that any prosecutor, any law enforcer makes, is whether to uphold the rule of law and sometimes say no to an fbi agent who is too enthusiastic about a case and wants to i

from connecticut.e the luxury of doing and fermenting violence instead of working, instead of studying have too much time on their hands. for the most part they are not international students. it sends a positive message to campus administrators the trump administration is paying attention and this cannot keep going on. i know israelis have been meeting with college students as recently as last week. they were in israel talking to israelis. it's a good first step precooked's bottom client the last 10 seconds i've got here president trump should continue to hold a light against this worked ideology that infiltrated these campuses. >> they been doing this across the board but all this radical agenda and ideology is under the same umbrella he is taking on from all sides it is long overdue it's a relief to jewish americans that's why a lot of us. griff: bethany thank you for taking time today. coming up security preparations are underway in new orleans with just a week to go before the super bowl. more on

and now a connecticut lawmaker is waging war on the ads and the movie trailers. his state bill would require connecticut theaters to tell thei customers exactly what time each movie starts. right now, start times are set around when the lights go down, which is right about when those trailers begin. he'd prefer movie lovers to have the choice when to show up and not risk being late. 2020 five minutes go by commercials previews before the movie finally starts. in the broad category of consumer protection, truth and information, and preventing people from being a captive audience when they don't want to be. now, the theater operators there fear the legislation may hurt more than it help. that's because some of their revevenue depends on the mesging and ads. i kind of like to see what's coming out. i know that's the thing. i like the previews, but i was telling kari i don't need to be reminded of what brand of theater i'm in. when i'm in that brand of theater. there we go. but if this is our biggest problem, i think that's true. that's true. a lot of folks are deali

let's turn to democratic senator from connecticut, chris murphy. senator murphy, let's start with usaid. you joined protesters outside the office responsible for usaid after employees were told to not come in to work, secretary of state rubio said today he is now acting director of usaid. it's moving under the state department. take a listen. >> there are a lot of functions of usaid that are going to continue, that are going to be part of american foreign policy, but it has to be aligned with american foreign policy. usaid has a history of sort of ignoring that and deciding that there's somehow a global charity separate from the national interest. these are taxpayer dollars. >> does he have a point, do you think, senator, that that money should be spent in a way that's not contradictory to american interests? well, listen, marco rubio knows better. he knows what he said isn't true. usaid doesn't spend money independently. they spend money based upon specific allocations of money to spend in advance of u.s. national security interests prescribed by

i'm pleased to introduce one of the individuals leading the charge, the senator from connecticut, senator chris murphy. sen. murphy: so elon musk has been floating all sorts of awful, terrible conspiracy theories about what happens at usaid. let's make it very clear that every single day, america is safer because of what happens at usaid. usaid fights terrorist groups all across this world making sure we address the underlying causes for a retreat to terrorism. usaid chases china all around the world making sure china does not monopolize contracts for critical structure all around the world. it supports freedom fighters in this world up until yesterday delivering firewood to the brave ukrainian defenders on the eastern fronts. but let's not pull any punches about why this is happening. elon musk makes billions of dollars based off his business with china. and china is cheering at this action today. there's no question that the billionaire class trying to take over our government right now is doing it based on self-interest. their belief, and if they can make us weaker in the world, if the

john brown was born 1800 in torrington, connecticut, into a family of abolitionists through of his grandfather, served in the continental during the american revolution, the one he was named after died in service. the browns always believed that america was the greatest nation earth, but it couldn't be it couldn't achieve what it as long as it the yoke of slavery around its neck, good lord would not allow it. so they were patriots wanted to have america be as good as it could and it could not be what it was with the of all villains as john brown referred to it, the abomination of slavery. when john brown was 12 years old, he was out on a trip and befriended a young slave boy approximately his age and one day he witnessed the master of that slave boy beat that slave boy with a metal coal shovel. john brown wrote that when he realized what slavery meant, meant that a slave did not own their own life because that man could have killed boy. he said, thank the lord. he didn't, but he could have. and if he had, he would have broken no laws because that boy was that man's property. he swore to himsel

wilson center nearby during a talk by frank caustically all wonderful scholar at the university of connecticut about george kennan's diaries and george kennan and russia writ large. and there were several moments frank talked, you know, kennan said this. kennan thought that, wrote this or the other thing about vietnam, about the imf missile deployment in the early 1980s. and, you know, i then working as i am now on the foreign relations of the united states series and i suppose to say my views in my own, not those of the government, but i kept thinking to myself at each of these moments, i know that paul nitze is intimately involved in these negotiations and that kennan is writing in a way the kind reinforces what i think a lot of critics of american foreign policy were already inclined to, and he wrote beautifully. i mean, really a great scholar, historian, but did actually change the policy. and that kind of got interested in in the end, his longevity and the kind of point i'm making the book is you know from roosevelt to the title from roosevelt to reagan paul nitze ackerman's white house t

today, senator richard blumenthal of connecticut said something along the same lines. axios is reporting tonight that democrats in the senate are closing in on, effectively a total shutdown strategy, not allowing anything to go through the senate, no nominees, no nothing within the maximum power they can exert to try to stop it or slow it down. that maximum shutdown strategy is effectively the strategy that's been advocated by the group indivisible. indivisible did an organizing call, a national organizing call on sunday night? guess how many people turned up on that call? 50,000 people turned up on that organizing call on sunday night. >> we've got to ask ourselves, what could democrats be doing that they aren't doing? and how can we, all of us, how can we encourage them to take those actions? back? when lee and i were congressional staffers in 2009, democrats had a trifecta, and we were working to push a universal health care bill through. and in response, senate republicans, who are led by mitch mcconnell, they circulated a memo that detailed all of the tactics avai
