now if for a total of the to know if it's out to people previously is federal way. connie reported from goma and the d. r. c. and i thank you so much. rwandan troops are supporting the i'm $23.00 on its allies and they're not the only foreign troops on the ground. in the d. r. c, the prompting fears of a regional escalation, nearly 12000 un peacekeepers had been stationed there since 2010. their mandate is to protect civilians spec control, so has repeatedly accused them of abuses, soldiers from malawi, south africa, and tons, and they are present as part of a south african developments community for us. burnsy, a close ally has supplied 821-0000 soldiers since october 2023 to strengthen to the new york these defenses. while the guns and military is deployed to combat and armed group link to i assume that operates near it's border. eastern c r c is rich and minerals, and for decades, conflicts has been fueled by groups buying for control of these resources. in 202341 percent of the global supply of colton, which is essential to the production of electronics came fro

on their own customers, the don't have the so that's a beautiful federal way. this place houses for this. they don't have a satellite. so might them, i'm, you nimble. the district boarding you. the 2nd reason is that's just these protocols, which now, but on this thing, you didn't have their defense workspace and you, most of the big systems apply to any more different. because what didn't sausage could be a target for and the talk for further south because at the district was thinking this is not russian in for us to, to interest structure. ok, it's an object. so the international energy infrastructure has to be split through . i don't know, a consort, some shareholders of the costume, find one source in a moment or american companies these gifts to chevron, i think oh yes. i see you are paying companies such as any junior investors local as well which in function know, overestimate what if it's good? we don't even make much what it can understand me so much money on this in the insurance industry, just don't name. it has like a little economic sense for us wi

and they are operating in a way that violates our federal protections against arbitrary and capricious government, seeking to go in and even brag about how they're going in to rep shop across the federal government. and so we have a host of concerns. we are happy that the courts are beginning to check this behavior, especially with the court order that. the attorneys general were able to were able to secure yesterday. with respect to treasury data. you had a meeting with the senate minority leader, chuck schumer, recently and he posted on x about the legal work that you all are doing to, quote unquote, protect the american people. what was the nature of this meeting? and will you be working directly with democrats on your legal challenges moving forward? you know, we're a nonpartisan organization and we invite anyone in this country, whether you're a conservative liberal, independent, whether you vote democrat, whether you vote republican, whether you. we hope you vote. but whether you don't vote, we invite everyone into our work, because this is really a moment that is not about one p

there may be some federal district courts and courts of appeal that are going to see it that way. ultimately, this will wind up at the supreme court printer recent history of the supreme court has been to allow the ever expanding executive power to take over all aspects of government. i'm extremely pessimistic. i realize litigation will slow the administration down to some extent. but by the time we get to the supreme court, my great fear is this will all be for naught. what are your thoughts? i will take your response off-line. guest: thank you. we do not believe there is one silver bullet to get out of the situation the country is thrust into, a situation deeply harmful to people and communities. litigation is an important role. without litigation, communities would still be going without programs like head start and meals on wheels and essential services. without litigation, musk and doge would still be rifling through data at the treasury department on individual americans. litigation is going to be really important in the immediate term. your concern about the broader place t

we represent federal workers. but by the waypiece of leverage they have. that's what republicans would do. and frankly, that's what democrats have done for decades. they just have gotten away from that a little bit. >> it's a very thin line, though. when you talk about using that leverage on that issue. >> it is very tricky. >> but i have heard the same thing from other democrats on the hill. they say you can't just use the same old playbook. and so certainly they're trying to pivot. you have a really fascinating project right now though. it's called the blueprint. it's a new podcast. your first episode came out, what, two days ago. >> yesterday? >> yesterday. together time is a flat circle, but i think it's a really fascinating project for this moment, because the blueprint feels like it's being built in real time. >> that's right. and, you know, one of the reasons i wanted to do this was after the election, i felt like there weren't clear answers on why that why the election happened, what what democrats should do moving forwa

. >> this was a quiet part of the federal governmental recently is the way the federal government getsver they need to go the payment processing part of the government it was run by civil servants, now elon musk has put a couple people, one of his folks in charge of this there is a court fight going on that is restricting the access and working have to see how that turns out. >> walk me through this elon musk is not an elected official and doge is a new agency it feels like if i'm remembering my rockface correctly there are three government branches of government and everyone has checks and balances, what is going on here. >> schoolhouse rock is going to need update for silicon valley. elon musk brought some of the move fast and break things mentality to the federal government and again, it's trawling all sorts of it until legal challenges a number of lawsuits federal unions have filed suit against them eventually this is probably going to go to the supreme court. >> looking at all of this in the chaos in washington and tariffs in the market is holding up okay, why do you think that is

local government area off kush effect, which is located along the legal federal express way. it is home to a population of about 600000 people. the on just have boss stuff is are known to be a significant legal and making it a busy hub of transportation in the city. yeah, unfortunately, i didn't give me that sense of belonging. everybody's and for them. nobody's went home, nobody is there. so their price simple like old debt to what you're trying to click buy for to uh, use your window deck. i don't, i don't, i don't try to force it because i didn't want to take the picture. they bought it for the rug the street. so another thing i'm very passionate about is apartments on social issues. in my portfolio, you find the i do of one of the walks i have around a social issues my work on closing with trying to quest to the vices of we have and it's part of the road way. people tend to and the beats anything. why then also flavor, man, i does a project i've been doing since 20 dates in on the since issuing port harcourt. because we have people in liberally refining crude and did you

i think there has to be more explaining because a lot of things the federal government does every day periods feeling is that your wayhe federal government is a lot more complicated than elon musk and put in a tweet. the story you referenced is in florida with the bahamas. to the reporter mentioned how much money china is investigating in the bahamas. here's a question we should ask ourselves, how much is the united states investing in the bahamas? the balance sheet, china in the green then and bahamas and central america pales in comparison to our investment. who was doing that? usaid so what is the replacement? stay when i would ask how much training is investing in guatemala for transgender surgeries. >> sandra: ableism zero. >> sure, tune his biggest embassy in this moment is the bahamas. >> if the goal of the trump administration is to take on china, we should also look where china is making on investments. they are making it on the continent of africa and on the korea been. and -- caribbean and pales in comparison to china. >> john: the secretary has been saying usaid does do a lot of good investments and those

way? so far, courts have mostly allowed them to make the cuts to the federal workforce. >> capturing the public'son with elon musk, but kind of running downstream, if you will, a little ways. what's going to be hugely important is immigration. that's a big deal in california. and whether or not you're going to do things relative to fema. that's important for los angeles and for conditional izing aid, disaster aid, for the recovery there. in the wake of the wildfires. >> sonoma state university professor of political science david mcewen also saying another issue to keep an eye on is whether consumer prices remain high. since lowering costs was one of trump's key campaign promises. >> the senate confirmed kash patel as the new director of the fbi. today's final vote was close 51 to 49. during president trump's first term, patel worked as chief of staff to the defense secretary and as principal deputy to the director of national intelligence. patel has been a vocal critic of the fbi for years, and vows to reform the nation's top law agency. the trump loyalist has faced opposition from democrats ove

at home a federal judge cleared the way for trump's deferred resignation plan for federal workers to go forward. jarred hill is here with details. good morning. let's start with the court fight over federal jobs. this looks like a win for the president and setback for labor unions. >> reporter: to be specific here, the judge didn't say anything about the legality of this buyout program but did rule the unions themselves don't have standing to sue. they're not directly impacted. federal employees are. as that fight comes to an end, president trump signaled an end to the fighting between russia and ukraine is more important than ukraine reclaiming land that russia has taken. >> i think they have to make peace. >> reporter: president donald trump says negotiations will begin immediately toward ending russia's war with ukraine. at the swearing-in of his new director of national defense, -- national defense tulsi gabbard, the president said he spoke to leaders of both countries on the phone yesterday and told reporters he plans to meet face to face with russian president vladimir putin. >

federal assured way my florida she knew was like you strong enough listen to the, the physical and that's the, this is how they shut down the russian office of the so called milton group, a large scale network of co centers that scammed hundreds of millions of dollars tens of thousands of people in europe, africa, and the last in america lost them money. many would devastation lost all hope. remarkably, the criminal network gained power and scaling ukraine and the mazda minds of this criminal m, as still as large. so shutting down the most go offices is just the beginning of the investigation. the beginning of the story of the scan ukrainians. while the in the early 2017, the american groups of the school center we're located from albania, is toronto to keep in ukraine, where corruption has long been arrived. i, with crook, civil stripes built relatively sites. the company was founded by georgian born, w, told us the set to be not only the hands of the new office, but also the chief invest.

way the government operates, not you and i must deliver. that was bill clinton in 1993 talking to his cabinet pay one of the first things he called for was a reduction of 100,000 federal that in his eight years. >> sen. kaine: and you know what he did? he worked with congress to do it. donald trump has two republican houses, and he's got a budget discussion that has to have a resolution by march 14th. why isn't he getting the republican leaders done in the white house and saying, here's what we are going to do? he's making all these cuts without them because he doesn't even think the republican leadership will go along with him. bill clinton did things to shrink the size of government and he did it with congress. there's a difference between that and ignoring congress and filing the law. >> shannon: but the executive branch has a lot of authority and purview over things within the executive branch and decisions about money and how it's dispersed. disbursed. >> sen. kaine: there is this law, the empowerment act, once congress has appropriated dollars for a particular purpose the president is not allowed to say, i don't like that, i'm going to spend this money but not t

was 35 years ago when bloomberg news began so the notion that you are going to cut somehow federal workers as a way to trim the deficit is absurd at this point. the only way you can actually trim the deficit significantly is if you raise taxes on the wealthiest americans. that would be billionaires, of course, and that is not where they want to go. >> anything about the components of the bond market, what are the numbers that are most stunning to you based on the reaction we have seen in the early weeks of the administration? >> one of the most proficient users of the bloomberg terminal is my colleague, and what he is able to show us by just using the bloomberg terminal is that in the bond market, if you look at breakeven rates, but not just for two years, if you look at breakeven rates for the 10 year maturity of securities, you look at breakeven rates for the 30 year maturity, they are all saying the same thing at the same time right now and we have not seen that in quite a long time. we did not see it last year. last year, the bond market was coy assent -- this is a departure from the stability

then there's the bigger question of what this will do to the functioning of the federal government, which, by the way, doesn't exist in washington, dc alone. in fact, most federal employees live outside of dc and its neighboring states of maryland and virginia. 147,000 live in california, 130,000 in texas. florida has 94,000, georgia, 80,000. pennsylvania 66,000. set aside defense and the postal service, both of which are exempt from this offer, and most of those employees work in health care, a lot of them in veterans health care. how many of them take the buyout and work in the private sector? what about high level tech workers who can surely make a lot more money elsewhere? or civil engineers or architects or biological experts, or quality control and safety inspectors or prosecutors or investigators? it's clear that donald trump and elon musk want to break the government, they say, to fix it. but what's not clear is if there's any actual plan to put it back together, and whether they have any clue about what exactly they're taking a hammer to. joining us now, msnbc legal correspondent lisa rubens

dedicated their lives to making sure that we have the best people working on federal government that we possibly can. and by the way, the port but laws on this i think with justification. congress hasn't even provided any funding for this federal order to take place that the administration is offering. so i think there's a lot of laws and there's better ways that we could work toward government efficiency. host: before we let you go, republican leadership trying to determine what course of action will be when determining a budget. what do you think the role of democrats will be as far as the process of coming up with that and whether they will support it? guest: i think it begins with reaching out to a bipartisan agreement on the budget. that has not happened at this point but the speaker, with a very narrow margins that we have, we are going to see if they are going to be able to deal with the budget debt ceiling and avoid government shutdown all at the same time with narrow margins of maybe one or two votes in the house and senate. if recent history is any proof, it has only occurred will be of work together in a

we look at it is the federal government whatever agency we would prefer more block grants and more ability to spend the money the waynk ilwe can work more efficiently than wash through the federal bureaucracy. >> i will like to talk about the federal utfunding freeze. there have been reports of some farmers throughout the country not receiving usda grants. they come to rely on for the operation. farming is so critical oklahoma i think it's our number two number three industry. from a business perspective working to figure it out let's figure out the rules of the game we believe we should be subsidizing every single thing. we have to look at the balanced-budget the overall effort we need to get to. you guys know better than i do from the federal lever the continuing resolution so don't think our founding fathers even envisioned a time when congress would not be doing their core functions of how much we should be spending and negotiating. farming is important but so is apparently all the stuff that usaa does and when you move someone's cheese everybody's complaining about it. in our opinion the president has the right

so really, the question of debt was about the debt of the federal government. the ways in which the federal government had financed the war and how that debt would be repaid. and then what the sort of monetary policy would be moving forward. most of the confederate debt was left to the south. it was not something that the federal government dealt with at this point. in 1869 was the south an economic disaster or was it recovering? it was very much an economic disaster, yes. of course, the southern economy had almost wholl driven by the institution of slavery before the civil war, and especially the cotton i cotton was not the onlyproded in the south, but it was overwhelmingly the most important crop by the tim the civil war, two thirds of american exports were cotton and the united states south produced two thirds of the world's cotton. after the war for a variety of reashe cotton economy collapsed. there was increased production. there were other areahe world that were producing cotton. you'd had some different epidemics that had destroyed cotton crops across the south

example, to have their own view of reproductive rights, and they allow states to sue the federal government in the wayal courts. the key thing, of course, is that this administration continues to obey court decisions. the courts, after all, don't have enforcers for their policies. and so it comes back to what you were talking with juanita about earlier, that these worrisome sort of signs that, well, gee, you know, maybe they are usurping our executive authority, that sort of thing. but i, i doubt that our supreme court at least will have much patience with that sort of argument. and i have a feeling we'll have an answer to that question sooner or later, because this administration seems determined to push that envelope. >> yeah, they're pushing faster and they're getting tested. and then when they're losing, as we began the broadcast, they're throwing a lot of other stuff out there which you can't completely ignore, but you want to put in the context of their screaming because they're losing. it's not that they started the day wanting to talk about the referees. they're ending the game screaming about
