i am also looking ahead to the elizabeth dual act -- dole act. it has an implementation cost as well. some of us on -- sen. hassan: it is good to see you. it is good to sit down with you the other day. congratulations on your nomination and thank you for your service to our nation and to her family for their sacrifices. we know when an individual serves the whole family service. one quick comment to follow up on what senator slotkin was asking you about. i appreciated your expression that you will be willing to let the president know or anybody else know if you thought the budget cuts would hurt service to veterans. having done this work at the state level and now here, it is tempting for people in your position to tell their bosses whatever budget you give me will get the job done because that is what you want to be able to do. but cutting direct care in a health strip -- health care system and people who coordinate care can really harm veterans, so i will hold you to your statement that you will stand up for veterans in the budget discussions b

the elizabeth dole act is one that i want to make sure we do properly.when the blue water navy and others, put into play, that it could be done properly. sometimes the great ideas are not the best way. >> you are a great member in the house. you understand when we need to talk to you or somebody of importance it is so frustrating, the last three letters hadn't made it answers, one of the most important things we can talk about is how important it is to be such with the members. >> thank you for highlighting one of the biggest differences if confirmed by this, the involvement of legislative affairs on this hill. i'm committed to having 535 canaries in a coal mine, 100 senators, 135 representatives who can help us work together to see where those issues are not just in funding revenue but actual veteran constituency, the chairman mentioned earlier when we heard from veterans that is what we here in home depot, i want to know where the problems are because i'm -- the secretary sitting behind the desk, i will be out. >> thank you. congratulations on your nom

tip o'neill got together, was primarily led by senator bob dole, got together with ronald reagan who was adamantly opposed to social security, but dole convinced him, no, this is the right thing to do. so what they did is they extended the solvency of social security to its current position. not as long as it should have been, but nonetheless, it was an action that went in the right direction. mr. speaker, i know you to be a man of goodwill and integrity and i hope this is something that we can bring up and work to get this done on behalf of the american people. with that, i yield back. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from connecticut yields back. the chair now recognizes the gentleman from pennsylvania, mr. ... mr. meuser: thank you, mr. speaker. this past week house republicans passed the protection of women and girls in sports act. which ensures that biological men cannot compete in women's and girls sports. makes sense to about 99% of america. the idea that we even need a bill like this is disturbing in itself. think about t we are debating whether boys or men should compe

and deduction goes on students and also so he goes on sale as a joke with us instead of the dole dungeon, he won't be safe, you know, set to go go, he did, you start all over himself. as a shipping, most a ukrainian citizens need to assign to a quite a russian passport. in march 2023. he was previously the head of the georgian office, but under the name of grumble, settle multiple solutions, put on it to get them on you all for on sale boys finance. so if you saw some of able to do a custom where your so the sort of tutoring is the for on site the but the getting more than i do at the point was at the new one of the guys are still find it will cost me no, i'm not getting into any of my school in los angeles. invoices, so this must course due to a faulty portrait plastic. i'm finding a couple 100000 you might have said so ms. lowes. let me keep that. i've been doing less, but it will likely for them to do that. process to people who sell it before. so you thought if she just yeah the, let's go to see more about what i need to take the steps to support the thing you still in the most inter

just yesterday, you see him doling out these awards just today, as well as yesterday. the medal of honor and the medal of valor. and he's also taking a couple of notable trips. he's going to california next week, where he's going to designate a new national monument, and then on to italy later in the week, where he will meet with the pope at the vatican and other italian officials. so clock ticking, 16 days here and a lot on his to do list. >> betsy klein, good to see you. thank you so much. thank you. >> right now, 62 million people across the u.s. are under winter weather alerts. >> travel is expected to be nearly impossible in certain areas as the storm spans over 1300 miles, bringing snow and ice. followed by bitter cold air. cnn's allison chinchar is watching the storm from our weather center. what's going on? yeah. >> so this is going to be a pretty big storm in terms of size. we take a look. right now this is cleveland. again you can see what should be a very sunny day. but it's not. you've got those snow squalls coming in at times very heavy. now one thing to n

but the question is how much hurt will be doled out? i mean, just looking at that, the issue of the loans and grants, you know, you also have research universities. that money is going to be suspended with. and what will he constitute as woke versus not? i mean, you have a lot of hbcus out here that get research money. they're looking to be an r1 research status institution. and will he say, oh, i don't want to do that anymore. and at one point, i remember when donald trump was president, the first time they offered to give more money to hbcus. and then steve bannon came back and said, no, that's unconstitutional. but congress gave the money. so there is a fine line here as to what is constitutional, what is woke, what is anti do or die? we have to see what their definition of all of this is, but i expect there's going to be a lot of hurt for a lot of people between now and the end of this first term. >> ken, i wanted to ask you about another doj related move. the president at. >> least throwing out this idea. >> yesterday that the unit

we'll find out how the floats fared when it came to the prizes doled with some spectacular fireworks shows. crowds gather near the ferry building late last night to celebrate the start of 2025. as you can imagine, traffic was backed up in the city for the event, but it was at least nice and clear to view the show. it all went off without a hitch. that's what we like to hear with no reports from police of any major problems. and one of the country's oldest new year's celebrations today was the 136th edition of the rose parade in pasadena. walk down the fiddle and you get down the boat. >> kick off your shoes and you throw them on the floor. >> country singer timothy wayne was one of the many performers who delighted fans along the parade route. this year, there were nearly 40 floats covered, with an estimated 18 million roses. the rose parade dates back to 1890, and one spectator says her family has been going for decades. >> this is our spot. we make a community. 66 years is how long i've gone since i was a little girl. >> what a sweet tradition. each float costs about $275,000. the

if i'm looking at from what they should do first, we should look at what information they need to doleut to provide americans with better information. host: going back to chemicals such as food dyes and preservatives, do you feel that is something that they should mandate be out of our food supply? guest: i think they need to process that and weigh the pros and cons. i know that the fda just grand fru -- baned red dye 33 starting in 2027, and it seems like there is bipartisan agreement on certain food additives that should be removed. that's not my area of expertise, so in order to process it, you need to understand the science. ultimately, he said i'm fine with people who go to mcdonald's to have cheeseburger and coke, it is about making sure americans have the information any to make the best decisions possible for them. host: and you agree that it should be the same with vaccines? that you should make whatever choice on vaccines without the government telling you these are the vaccines that are recommended or required? guest: well, i think there are differences with the covid vaccin

the elizabeth dole act will be one that i want to make sure that we do properly.we set it under the trump administration when bluewater navies actually put into play. there were times set in that we could be done properly. sometimes the great ideas are at the wrong time are not the best way. you have to make sure that you have the great idea done properly and that is what we will do. >> just say again, you serve, you are a great member in the house. you understand how important it is that when we need information , when we need to talk to you or somebody important it is so frustrating. you have the hearing and you sent letters and the last three letters had not been answered. just say again very briefly because my time is up, but i think that it is one of the most important things that we can talk about today is how important it is again too, you know, be such that you are in constant with the members. >> thank you for piloting what i think will be one of the biggest differences and confirmed by this body if the va in the early stages and that will be the involvem

dole's legacy has been living on in his hometown as the namesake of this school, which is now one of several schools that could be close. franklin mckinley school district says it's faced with a severely declining enrollment. my first. started teaching at bridges. it was fair. and i think there were like 80900 students who richard brooks teaches at the district and says the decline in enrollment has been going on for years. and i know parents are worried about. >> their schools because they're, you know, pretty much community centers. and while his school bridges academy is not on the chopping block, he has a personal tie to dall elementary's. i attended there when i was a child. i had a long history. there was nice to see an honor for the 9.11 victims and for, you know, james don't sell. so it's kind of sad to see something that i thought to be around forever. and the community, you know, possibly going away forever. the district telling kron for news in a statement, quote, at this time, no decisions have been made regarding which school sites will be impacted if captain jason and d

will death just be doled out willy nilly?his is obviously my concern, and i'm very worried about it because no one, no doctor has the ethical qualification for this. they they've got medical qualifications, but who can possibly have this? i mean, surgeons have to make these decisions sometimes about life or death, but should it be up to a doctor to just put this on the table? i say probably not. >> what do you think about it coming from the bma, the british medical association, who haven't exactly showered themselves in glory recently? they're pro medicalising autistic gay kids to make them infertile, seemingly, i don't know. i've read all of this, and i thought this was more about that fundamental moral issue, the ethical issue about whether you raise to someone the concept that they might want to vote for killing themselves. that seems even bigger than the political complaints about the union that we're talking about. and especially when you look at those front pages, corridors full of people who have put such a pressure ju

i wanted to talk about the implementation of the dole act.homecare is incredibly up or did it should be the wave of the future because most people want to age at home or get their care of their chronic illness or disabilities at home. something near and dear to my heart and the heart of veterans and i look forward to working with you on that. >> just briefly, mr. chairman, i am very proud of what you will have accomplished there. taking implementation to make sure that we do it right. if i'm confirmed you will have my commitment. >> senator cassidy. >> k. great job in the chair. you will be a fabulous secretary at the va and you have my support. you are a georgia bulldog fan, but that is okay. not everyone can be a go tiger. >> go dogs. >> listen, i have been concerned because there is such a backlog in terms of people applying for va disability benefits for whatever program there is geared it just does not happen. when it finally happened sometimes a person is dead. when i spot -- speak to people and read about the use of artificial intellig
