welcome to the house of representatives, mr. speaker. where the voices of the american people are shut out as republicans continue to ram through their radical agenda. mr. speaker, h.r. 3003, does nothing to advance cooperation between local law enforcement with the federal immigration and customs enforcement. cooperation between local and federal agencies to apprehend, try, and punish serious criminal offenders and in the case of foreign nationals to imprison and then deport them, has always been a high priority. these are matters of national security. but instead of continuing to foster cooperation and strengthen this priority, this bill chooses to blackmail, coerce, and meanize local law enforcement agencies and demand that they potentially violate the constitution of the united states, in particular the fourth amendment, the 10th amendment, and the 14th amendment. i wish my republican friends were as faithful to the rights enshrined in these amendments of the bill of rights as they are to the second amendment, but then that's a whole

the blocks, which is the technical term that they're using in the house of representatives, in other words capping medicaid to each of the states, will cause states to strip critical supports that my son needs to live and to try to learn and work in the community with down syndrome. these medicaid funds have enabled him to participate in an adult supervised day program and transportation to and from the site. this program involves classes, such as daily living skills, social skills, and daily life skills. he's also able to go out once or twice a week to socialize. he has become more confident and happy. that's from a lady in sebastian, florida. mr. president, we need to find ways to improve the health care system. we need to fix the existing law. we don't need to unwind all the good things that we have done. we need to fix it in a bipartisan way. so when folks come to me and say senator, what are we going to do to fix it, then what i say is it's my responsibility to do something. so last week i filed a bill with a number of other senators that would lower health care premiums for peop

when it comes to leadership, he's one of the leaders that even the newest members of the house of representatives know the best. >> pelley: nancy cordes, thanks so much. the 66-year-old gunman, james hodgkinson of belleville, illinois, was said to be upset over the country's political direction. dean reynolds is in the gunman's hometown. >> reporter: 66-year-old james tom hodgkinson died from his wounds today but left behind a trail of bitterness directed at the rich, the republicans, and the president. hodgkinson was born and raised here, one of three children. he married and lived in town with his wife. he ran a home inspection business until last year when he lost his license, and, according to the local sheriff, richard watson, he had a record of damaging property. >> if he gave us some kind of indication that, you know, he was mental, if he was out there target practicing for some other reason, then we'd have looked further. >> reporter: politically active. >> the 1% are just not giving a damn. >> reporter: he was supporter and volunteer for senator bernie sanders in 2016, and he was just as

of a district to flip the house in 2018? >> yes. they need the suburban districts and more so they need the rural districts. one reason that the districts won the house of representatives in 2006, they won multiple seats in rural indiana, rural ohio, western north carolina. those are the type of seats they need to win to flip the house of representatives. they are not in play at all in any of the districts. this is like in hockey, bret, where you have one team that outplays the other but there is a hot goaltender on the other side. you need your goalie to steal a couple of games. here the democrats haven't been able to steal any of the seats. they need a steal to get in the house. >> bret: overwhelming trump in 2006. would ossoff's success if he won tonight be sort of a recruiting tool for democrats to find that kind of candidate? and conversely since he lost, does it hurt the effort? >> you are always looking for a model that goes in the next election. this is a try and true model. let's see if it works in the fall or 2018. by the same token republicans will look at this and they will keep going back to the same play book. nancy pelosi. they have done that since 2010.

madam president, it was about a month ago that the house of representatives by a narrow vote voted to repeal the affordable care act and to replace it with their own creation. that effort by the house of representatives passed by, i believe, two, three, or four votes. it was very close, and it was a partisan roll call, all republicans voting for it and no democrats voting for it. so it came to the floor of the house without any bipartisan preparation. and it was only after the vote that the congressional budget office took a look at the measure and reported to the american people its impact. now, that's unusual because when you take a big issue like reform of america's health care system, historically, traditionally, when members of the -- members of the house and senate will send their versions of the bill to the congressional budget office and ask for analysis, tell us how much this will cost, tell us the impact on the deficit, tell us what it will do in terms of health care coverage. but the house republicans chose to vote before the analysis. well, the analysis still came out, and

house of representatives -- doesn't even immediately go into the house of representatives great he is left in this position to wonder, like every other ex-president, what do i do next? he's not young and he still feels a lot of energy, and he wants to contemplate how he will leave his mark. there was not a straightforward process is some of the entries -- as it would show us. >> for adams, this was not just his personal loss, it was also a loss of the national republican coalition, his alliance with the virginia gentleman, and what he thought -- public and statesman. that it was in the family tradition to work with. we often are struck by evans versus jefferson in the election of 1800, and we are struck by their differences. we forget in the 1770's, john adams did not bring the issue of slavery up in the constitutional convention. he did not -- and if his constitutional rising -- john adams is pretty good at working with southerners. you could call it diplomacy, statesmanship, nationalism, it was all those things to them, that's the tradition that he's working in. to be defeated by ja

of the united states decided to have a celebration at the white house. we saw him on television gathering the republican members of the house of representatives and celebrating the fact that this measure had passed and finally they were going to repeal the affordable care act. but then the american people took a close look and the congressional budget office issued its analysis, and it turns out that 23 million americans would lose their health insurance because of this republican measure that passed the house of representatives. it turns out as well there would be a dramatic increase in health insurance premiums for people between the ages of 50 and 64. it turned out that in my state and many other states, hospitals were in danger. the only hospital -- the illinois hospital association says they would lose 60,000 jobs in illinois with the dramatic cutbacks in medicaid, endangering hospitals in rural areas and inner city areas. the facts started coming out about this repeal bill passed by the house of representatives and the president of the united states had a change of heart and announced to the american people it was a mean bill, a mean bill. the presiden

rosenstein in a statement to the house of representatives essentially told them that he learned on may 8th that president trump intended to remove director comey. when you wrote your letter on may 9, did you know that the president had already decided to fire director comey? >> senator feinstein, i would say that i believe it's been made public that the president asked our opinion.

the facts started coming out about this repeal bill passed by the house of representatives and the president of the united states has a change of heart and announced the american people it was a mean bill, i mean bill, the president was right. it was mean legislation. it means the millions of lives lost their healthcare, means l seniors would find their premiums going up dramatically, meaning to the people living in rural areas and count on those hospitals. while the president was right, it mean. then the responsibilities shift to the united states senate and the majority leader. senator mcconnell and his followers had a chance to do a bill that would not mean, they had a chance to sit down on a bipartisan basis and to have the same process we use to create the affordable care act. that would have involved public hearings. we had 50 public hearings on the affordable care act and it woulo have involved a real amendment process. the affordable care act had a 300 amendments, how many were offered by the republicans was marked over 150 offered and adopted. in a bipartisan process when we pass th

this does not change the numbers in the house of representatives whatever way it goes, why are peoplemoney?m whatever way it goes, why are people putting in so much money? it is because this particular seat, donald trump won it by onlyjust over i%. it has been held by a republican for decades and they think it is a chance to pick up a seat, the democrats. it is a sunbelt, southern state, educated. they have to win it if they want to pick up enough seats to flip the house of representatives over to the side. there have been some special elections in the past, kansas and montana, they came close on but did not go over the top. those seats donald trump won handily. they are focusing on the elections in 2018, seats like this one. if they can flip it it is a good sign if they cannot put that despite spending these resources, democrats will start to second—guess the strategy and wonder if they can ta ke the strategy and wonder if they can take the house of representatives back next year. the democrats have the donald trump worked out but have they worked out what they worked out what they'r

doctors at medstar washington hospital center say the condition of wounded house of representatives majority whip steve scalise has been upgraded from "critical" to "serious." they say the louisiana congressman has been more responsive and talked with family members after undergoing another surgery yesterday. scalise was shot in the hip when a gunman armed with a high- powered, semi-automatic rifle opened fire on the republican baseball team's practice in alexandria, virginia, last wednesday. while spending father's day with his family on his first trip to camp david, president trump took to twitter to tout his approval ratings and criticize the special counsel investigation of his administration and campaign. mister trump said:" the new rasmussen poll, one of the most accurate in the 2016 election, just out with a trump 50% approval rating.

but they're not going to win back the house of representatives if they try to run a national campaign. they're going to have to run these individual races, 25 of them in order to take back the house. and that's extremely important because then they're going to be able to cause all kind of havoc on the white house. so while this is a depressing time for democrats, i'm pretty sure these deep pocketed donors are going to continue digging down deep to try to do what they can to cause havoc and chaos for donald trump as best that they can do. so democrats, while they need to figure out where they're going, i wouldn't say it's lost for them. >> democrats hopes of oo big win crushed tonight. i'll talk to one who says her party needs to do a better job reaching out. stay out front with tempur-pedic. our proprietary material automatically adjusts to your weight, shape and temperature. so you sleep deeply, and wake up feeling powerful. find your exclusive retailer at tempurpedic.com listen up, heart disease.) you too, unnecessary er visits. and hey, unmanaged depression, don't get too comfortab
