housing. and there's a reason for that. and that is that you think if two people have the same income, they're living at the same level. that's not true if you're a disabled veteran. because you have the additional difficulties and the additional expenses of being disabled. you may have to pay for a health aide, you can't get across town to take advantage of a sale, you're going to have a variety of additional costs because you're disabled. and that's what your disability benefit pays for. those additional costs. it doesn't necessarily mean that you have a standard of living that includes your disability payment. today we deal with congresswoman de la cruz's or now we deal with congresswoman de la cruz's bill which i strongly support. and i hope will pass unanimously in the next few minutes. this deals with the h.u.d. community development block grant program. as i said, my legislation, which will come up hopefully not too long from now, that deals with a different h.u.d. program. and i urge e

i want to get to the housing. so we've talked a lot about short medium solutions on the food and security aspect of it. the last is about the housing itself. i know a lot of this will depend on things that we hear or we haven't had discussions yet with the developer but can someone from planning or comment on should housing proceed? what would be the steps involve moved from now to going forward that we have to be mindful of in terms of a timeline? >> so if there were a housing proposal submitted for the site that would be reviewed by the planning department first housing is a principally permitted use on the site. there's not a density limit and so we would look for the developer to propose something which the department would respond ensure that it complies with the city's code. typically developers will do community outreach and work with your office and others in the community either prior to or during the review and submittal of that proposal. then once it is approved which depending on the scope of the propo

if clay will work in the house to win him that house election and so win the house election takes place on adams wins a lot of jack soni and supporters like to that meeting and then they called a corrupt bargain. they point to that meeting as changing election from jackson, who in their viewpoint was clearly the choice of the people to adams becoming president, which was a subversion of democracy and in their viewpoint. and so that becomes the major to really for the 1828 campaign from the jackson perspective, is this corrupt bargain stolen the election from the people it stole the election from jackson. and so part of what 1828 is about is trying to reestablish the will of the people by electing over adams, who his opponent again in 1828 and the result in 1828. andrew jackson 178. electoral. 600,000 popular votes 56%. john quincy 83 electoral votes. 501,000 votes in the popular election. that's quite a change from the year four years before, wasn't it? yes. and one of the things people don't realize is that prior to 28, a lot of states restricted, who could vote. of course, women and a

the house does not. other than the approach to final passage, what we know about the house and senate, the differences in their priorities. guest: they want to do the same things. they have the same agenda. it is how they get there. mike johnson wants to do this in two processes, with one bill being for the border and energy and defense and another tax package that will go first with the border bill. on the senate side they want to do one big package, tax and border in the same package. mike johnson sees it as easier to get two bills through the house, not packing everything into one. he says senate leadership does not totally understand the reality of politics in the house. senate leadership wants to do it in one bill, get it done, and again that is the tension. how much patience does john thune have with mike johnson and allowing him to try to do this? host: our guest for the next 25 minutes verso is stephen neukam, the co-author of axios's hill leader newsletter. you can start calling in line. republi

where are house republicans? it only takes three to join us and we can move the taxpayer data protection act. i think we've been very clear in terms of the pushback that's taken place in the congress and we've been partnering with democratic attorney generals, unions, advocacy groups and democracy reform organizations as it relates to the litigation that has been filed that is successful to date in stopping the overreach and the unlawful, unconstitutional and unconscionable power grab being led by an out of touch, unaccountable and out of control billionaire puppet master. reporter: [indiscernible] mr. jeffries: 2028 is way off in the distance. house democrats are engaged in the hour by hour, day to day, week to week struggle on behalf of the american people. in the context of the first 100 days and beyond. there's a lot to like about stephen a. smith, including the fact that we are both die hard knicks fans. reporter: [indiscernible] mr. jeffries: i have not had the opportunity to speak with governor hochul abou

and we know here in the house unfortunately that the house republican leadership has demonstrated no interest in reining in this out of control behavior. here in the house, all it takes are 3 republicans to join with us to protect the american people. >> leader jeffries, in addition to this bill, what do you see as the options that democrats have to push back on elon musk's efforts and doge's? >> we will continue to use the congressional arena. as well as the litigation arena. and the mobilization arena to push back against the far right extremism that we are seeing across the board from this administration and from house republicans. we will introduce legislation. we will move that legislation aggressively. we will work through the court system and we will continue to communicate to the american people about what's happening, why it's happening, and why the promises that were made by republicans to lower the high cost of living aren't being kept. this is day 18 of this new administration. not a single bill, not a single idea, not a single initiative to lower the high cost of living.

[video clip] >> republicans control the house senate and white house. if they want to keep government open they should keep government open. we are working with them. the chairwoman will lead our efforts to negotiate and work through issues just like we have for many years through multiple congresses. that is our plan, that has always been our plan. if republicans need votes they can come to us and we are happy to negotiate. there is -- and i said this last week. there is very little appetite to help republicans when we do not trust that donald trump is going to spend the resources we have allocated for education, for health care, even for our defense. with elon musk and his unelected friends running through and combing through the federal system, we do not have those assurances. these are not advisory bills, this is not advisory spending. this is the full weight of law as described by the constitution. we are standing up for the constitution and our article one responsibilities. host: the representative saying there is very little appetite to help repu

goals for affordable housing.ll put that as a motion and yeah, hear it from there. >> i'll second that motion. >> i second the motion and i would like to say as we are continuously widening the gap between our needs for affordable housing and these types of projects get us further and further away numerically that this could be a try to start doing it differently. that's still is conforming to state laws but it's done a little differently. >> commissioner ron i don't see any harm with giving more time for this to be explored. the the commission's interest in this is pretty clear in our desire to outcome. it's very clear as i said before, you know, if this comes back and nothing has changed i'm i think that the project i would likely have to reassess it at that time but i do have a question for for staff i do want to make sure we're not inadvertently de facto approving the project for some sort of timeline issue. again, under state law. so is there any maybe this is something that needs to be explored or to have a

we see nothing from house republicans, nothing from the administration. they told the american people one thing and they are doing another. and they are not even stepping in to protect the best interests of the american people, which is why taxpayer data protection act is so urgently needed. >> thank you mr. leader. can you attempt to answer your own question that you and -- posed which is why is elon musk accessing all of this data through the federal agencies? you mentioned names, social security numbers, medical records, things like that. what is your worst fear here about why he is doing this? >> that is a great question and i'm going to yield to our two sponsors. >> certainly we need that answer, but we know that we need the protection. this is uncharted, unprecedented ground. i'm telling you as a former treasury person, i mean, i was there during an actual crisis. now a self-inflicted crisis. we need the answer to why he's doing it. we need our legislation. we need this taxpayer data protection act. this is unbelievable lawlessness. we've always had

every day in the trump white house, but did happen every day in the biden white house. they asked questions about elon musk's possible conflict of interest, but no one in the white house press corps asked a question about elon musk literally snatching food away from starving babies. there has not been one question asked in the white house by anyone in the white house press corps, to the white house press secretary or to donald trump about elon musk's decision, supported by donald trump, to take food away from starving babies, from starving mothers, from starving grandparents. in sudan, where the united states agency for international development was saving lives every day by getting food to people in the middle of a famine. elon musk's conflicts of interest, though, of course, are not as important as the people that he is actually killing in africa this week. and that is what he's doing. that is what's happening. you heard doctor atul gawande, former usaid official, on this program monday night, saying lives have already been lost. people have already died because of wh

ringback the white house to respond a, it's a unique offer. no one that no other country in the world has stepped up and made an offer. but i think that's what people need to think about. seriously, it was not meant as a hostile move, it was meant as a, i think, a very generous move the offer to rebuild and to be in charge of the rebuilding of a place. many parts of which right now. even if people move back, they would have nowhere to live safely because there are still unexploded munitions and debris and rubble. this is in, on how biddable place for human beings do you really think that that families up can live their dream in a region that looks like this with no running water, no electricity. and the special onboard of the president, steve woodcock, recently traveled to gaza as you all know. and he came back with images that he showed the president of the dire situation here. and the president made this decision with a humanitarian heart for all people in the region. well, the u. n. says 90 percent of homes in gaza are in ruins from the isr

it is still going to be expensive to buy house -- produce housing in many parts of the country where a lot of the urban areas, the obvious places to build housing, has happened. there is a short-term problem that should go away in the coming years, but there is a longer-term problem with housing availability. that's something that is not within our power to affect. sen. gallego: one of the things i've seen in arizona is we have people who are locked into mortgages at 2.9%, 2.8 percent. for them to move to a new house, they will have to essentially go in and try to get a bigger house with a mortgage payment through the roof. while i know the fed doesn't set the mortgage rate, this seems to be one of the biggest drivers of inflation. like in arizona, housing costs, the decisions that you may on whether or not to move rates are based on inflation, driven by housing costs. we are in a sort of her pet -- perpetual and vicious circle in arizona. i don't know what the answer is, but i want there to be some sort of understanding. it can't cut itself over and over. chair powell: that's right

housing has been a critical issue in our city. so the housing part hasn't impacted us too much. 67 units have been going on its current time line. the bigger challenge for us was showing the families in our communities, low income families had the resources we need to survive the pandemic. many of our families didn't have the luxury of working from home, working in the zone and things of that nature. making sure they had access to covid testing and things of that nature. so i want to give a big shout out to our resident leaders, our service providers across all four sites. for those that don't know, hope sf is four sites. sunnydale is one of the four sites. and so across those four sites, the most critical thing was making sure folks in these neighborhoods which have historically have been disconnected from resources have the things that they need to remain healthy, to, you know, survive the pandemic as we all had to survive the pandemic and we did pretty well. we were able to bring back scenes and covid testing on site. food dist

they control the house, the senate and the white house. march 14th.on the republicans to pass a bill to fund the government. if they can't do that, and i'm still in the house of representatives, and they come to me and say, tom, we need your help to pass our republican spending bill. i mean, it's just a no brainer. i'm going to say no, not unless you can guarantee me that every single penny we spend that we give this administration will be spent as congress directs, whether it's meals on wheels, farm aid, education, feeding hungry people around the world. if we enact it, you have to spend it. >> what about legislative action? other legislative action. we saw senator brian schatz hold up some nominees as protests, much like tommy tuberville did with the pentagon to protest the availability of abortion for people in the pentagon. is there any legislative action or holdups or processes that can happen within congress or within the senate to stall things? is that the sort of action you're looking for? >> some. >> not so much, because, i mean, it's look fi

house.ow, this has gotten over the decades. we've seen this in the clinton administration, in the george w bush administration. more power has been gone to the oval office from the agencies. but this is on a whole dramatically different level. and, you know, they are trying to just run roughshod over systems that have developed over decades to try to provide some checks and balances, not only in in legislating, but in how we hand out contracts and everything. and what happens when musk leaves the government and he has all that. what happens with all this information. when or if? well, if but you know, i mean, he is a special government employee. he has some limits. >> but 130 days in theory. >> what my what's fascinating to me is that i'm hearing on the hill is there's a couple different reads on this is is that trump wanted musk to take all these arrows at first, okay. that he was he you know, he was happy to have the world's richest man working for him okay. but now there's also republican

plan. -- that's the house plan. with first getting a budget, then getting a reconciliation bill. it will deliver for border security, making sure we can build the wall, making sure we give our border patrol agents the tools they need. night vision goggles, other technology like drones, so they can more safely and effectively protect and secure america's border from the massive flow of illegals we saw the last four years. we will produce more american energy. yes, in the gulf of america, in anwar, and every point in between we will deliver in that big, beautiful build more american energy that was shut off by the biden administration who coddled foreign countries, made us more dependent on foreign energy. we will reverse that and allow our country to deliver again, not just creating more jobs. not just lowering costs for families at the pump, and at the grocery store, which it will do, but allowing us to be energy independent again and help our allies around the world. exporting lng for example when biden said no to

that is the house bill.n't just deal with border, we deal with whole 1 75 billion this russ vought talked about for the technology for border agents and defense spending, it deals with making sure that we renew the trump tax cuts, and add those items like no tax on tips, that president trump talked about at every rally. he really believes in it, it is important, it is something that a lot of people are counting owe'll do those, in our bill, starts with the budget we're finalizing details with budget committee, they are looking to go thursday to actually move the budget out of committee, we still have a couple final pieces we're tweaking, i feel confident we'll get there, then we start process, in march, circle your calendar, you will see 11 different committees in house taking action in the month of march to deliver on all of these promises, on top of that, that is one big beautiful bill, american energy production. finally opening up from the gulf of america in my district to anwar and alaska, and every poi

house democrats won't stand for it. i want to yield to start by the esteemed ranking member of the house budget committee, brendan boyle, to discuss this further. mr. boyle: thank you to representative neguse and my other colleagues. minutes ago house republicans finally released their budget resolution, and i congratulate them on reaching a landmarked agreement among themselves, we think. but the reality is the details are exactly as we feared and expected. it is a republican betrayal of the middle class. we just waged a whole long presidential campaign in 2024. what was the top issue? the top issue here in the united states was the same as most western democracies. the fact that costs had gotten so high coming out of the post pandemic era. the inflation crisis has hurt families in america and indeed worldwide. that is what republicans and donald trump talked about during the campaign. so what's in their budget? nothing to bring costs down. absolutely nothing. but what they do have is $4.5 trillion in more debt. this i

we, house democrats, are the commonsense caucus. instead of working with democrats in a commonsense way to actually find bipartisan agreement in 2017 around so-called tax reform, they decided to jam the g.o.p. tax scam down the throats of the american people. and set up a situation where 83% of the benefits would go to the wealthiest 1% of the american and every single democrat said we can't support that because that's not in the best interest of the american people. understand, if you go back to 2017 which your question relates to, there was a conversation about lowering the corporate tax rate to make sure america could be more competitive. and corporate tax rate, as i recall, was at 33%. 33%. and the obama administration's budgets had indicated that we would be prepared to drop the corporate tax rate to 28%. that was a democratic position. the far right republicans were saying, we want to drop it to 20% or 21%. the c.e.o.'s of america said if you could lower it to 24%, 25%, that would put american companies in a competitive positi

speaker, the house is on fire. the house is on fire. there is nothing legal or constitutional that is going on. we have unelected billionaires running the country. we have a president who is pardoning violent criminals, and i suppose if they ignore the court orders, he'll just have this daily list of people that he'll pardon. so they can continue. mr. speaker, the house is on fire. the insurrection is continuing. and it's affecting you. whether you are a head start child out there that needs it, whether you are a senior in a nursing home who will get inadequate care, are you going to be laying in your feces for 10 hours because they are cutting medicaid, whether are you a farmer who has not gotten your usda funding, the house is on fire. .. whether you're a social security recipient and they've gone in and created a back door to your data, they know your bank account number, the house is on fire, y'all. we need to stop acting like things are normal. it is not normal. and i yield back to the gentleman. mr. casten: thank you to my friend,

she walked through the house. bathroom light was on. veronica ord: and i went and looked in the bathroom. then i went our bedroom and i seen her purse and everything on top of her dresser. so then i'm like, where would she be without her purse, because that wasn't unusual. so that's when i had called keith. keith morrison (voiceover): keith was keith mcphillips, her mom's fiance. he was just leaving work, told veronica he was thinking of stopping for coffee with a friend on his way home. then veronica told him about tara, that her purse was home, but she wasn't. keith morrison: what did you think when she told you that? well, just something wasn't right. because if tara was going to go somewhere, i knew she wouldn't leave her stuff on her car. she would have said i won't be here when the kids get here. that's how responsible she was. keith morrison: sure. keith morrison (voiceover): keith canceled the coffee plan, drove straight home. keith mcphillips: as soon as i got home, it just didn't look like. there was all kinds of tracks on the

at the white house. and it comes as tensions flare among gop lawmakers over advancing trump's agenda, putting the president's legislative plans at risk. cnn's jeff zeleny joins us now from the white house. and cnn's manu raju is live on capitol hill. jeff, to you first. what do we know? >> look, pamela. >> the center. of the. >> president's legislative agenda and the future of the president's legislative agenda hinges on meetings like this. and we know that house republicans will be here shortly to meet with the president. and essentially, he wants to sign a bill that will, you know, be the heart of his legislative agenda. but the question is, what kind of bill will it be? there are very different approaches here. the house wants to do one bill. the senate wants to break it into a couple of different bills. the president has said repeatedly he does not have a preference. he talked about one big, beautiful bill. but i am told in recent days he is coming around to the idea being pushed by senate republican

house republicans kept our promise. we passed a bill, i know it's hard to believe we had to pass this bill, but we passed a bill to prevents biological males from freely walking into girls locker rooms. it's ridiculous that we had to do it, but here we are. democrats would rather allow men to compete in girls sports than protect our little girls. they are truly out of touch with reality. for those that support this insanity, you are allowed to live in your distorted reality, but that doesn't mean i have to live in your distorted reality. and our girls don't need to live in your distorted reality, either. we fought for 50 years for women's rights. now democrats want to undo it. i can assure you that will not happen under my watch. house republicans are committed to putting a stop to this madness. we are the party of common sense. the difference between the democrats and the republicans is that our agenda is about opportunities, about freedom, and about putting america first. while their agenda is about control, dependenc

is in the house. it really seemed like joe biden with not push back on the left at all and felt like bernie sanders was running his economic policy and my question is how can democrats, it seemed like obama did this more, push back on the left than sort of staying moderate because i feel a lot of people were turned off by some of joe biden's policies. >>it's interesting you have that perception because i have heard the same question in reverse. i have literally had progressive friends of mine say, you know, it really seemed like wall street was running his policies and why wasn't he more populist or aggressive and had it said to me including one particular good friend of mine in my district. so i think some of that is the perception of the person asking the question and where they're coming from. but it does speak to a larger issue and that is any time you're in the majority it is challenging to keep everyone within your tent rowing in the same direction and on the same side. as time goes on, we'll se

no one on the republican side in the house and senate who control both the house and senate is going to speak up and challenge us. but we need to protect amer americans' privacy and their social security. for 40% of all americans social security is the basis for their retirement and retirement savings. for 28 million americans social security is the only thing that they have. that's why we have to make sure that we are protecting it as well. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman's time has expired. mr. larson: the letter that we sent to -- the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman's time has expired. mr. larson: thank you. i yield back. the speaker pro tempore: thank you. members are me inded to remain -- reminded to refrain from engaging in personalities towards the president. the chair recognizes the member from missouri, representative bell. mr. bell: mr. speaker, esteemed colleagues, and the people of the st. louis region, first i would like to say happy birthday to my father, john bell. happy heavenly birthday to my stepfather, larry greer. and happy founders day to the national a
