then the house reopens. but the which is really up, but you can see all the the the shoring that we're about to engage the house. you can actually see really very clearly. the the early framing of the house. so what we've got here again is a down brace. these are the diagonal braces that locking corners to keep the house square. you've got original 17 over here. we've got 70, 34 studs. the house was so had so much between 1734 and the 1770s that they actually had to put these extra pieces on the outside to square up the exterior of the walls. and then interesting this way, wherever we find these white posts, these were put in in the 1930. so this replaces the original 1734 corner post, which was eaten up by termites. but then next to it is the 1775 corner post for the south edition, which didn't get eaten up by termites. so it's kind of hit or miss what survived, what didn't survive from that early period. but we will be engaging with all this and then they'll be tied into this big steel framework in order t

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

let's talk about housing. in hawaii we face the highest housing costs in the nation. the people of hawaii asked us to make housing more affordable and available to all within our state. housing is the single largest expense for hawaii families. it counts for up to 38% of household spending on average. even before fire destroyed nearly 4000 homes on maui in august 2023, we faced an estimated 50,000 housing units short statewide. hawaii's building regulations have driven up the cost of condominium element 50%, making this the highest cost of housing in the country. because of our lack of affordable housing, we face a shortage of teachers, shortage of health care workers, and more native hawaiians live in the mainland than in our state. i know that was mentioned another speeches. together we took action and approved 10,800 new units of low income housing for struggling families. exemptions from our proclamation helped approve or accelerate nearly 7000 units of affordable housing across our state. we also worked closely with the legislature and over the last two years you

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

and senior housing.but there remains a great need for more operating and rental subsidies to reach our lowest income populations. with all that said, there is some good news of 662 oci funded affordable units under construction during the fiscal year 23 and 24 419 are at 50% ami and below of those 135 are at 30% army and below and 176 have an operating or rental subsidy. >> we were able to secure rare project based section eight vouchers for our two shipyard phase one projects that are finishing up construction in just the next few months. >> before i go on to our 2324 data, i'm going to provide a brief and i'm going to try to make it briefer summary of how we fund our affordable housing in the current funding environment. most of our projects are funded by a combination of tax exempt bonds allocated by the california debt limit allocation committee or sedlak in the low income housing tax credits allocated by the california tax credit allocation committee or sedlak. we also tap into other state sources w

[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

should be the guest house.1942 the government bought blair house as the president's guesthouse but winston spencer church never stayed in blair house much to the chagrin of eleanor roosevelt in terms of or sort of an equal time. what i discovered, i think it's interesting clementine churchill didn't much for franklin roosevelt roosevelt eleanor roosevelt did not much care for winston churchill and that dynamic plays out in the course of the visit and in the book the white house as stage four winston churchill as your book. so carefully documents and illuminates churchill struggled at times to get back to the white house by 1943, especially 1944, roosevelt running for reelection, has lot on his mind. talk about the evolution of churchill's with roosevelt and how affected whether or not came to the white house. great question. and my reading of it is that early on this visit of. 1941 into 1942, then there was a very important visit in june of 1942. we can into that, if you'd like and then there were two visits th

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

the speaker: the house will come to order. the house will come to order. for what purpose does the gentleman from kansas seek recognition? without objection, so ordered. >> mr. speaker, tonight we're gathered on the house floor to honor the men and women who tragically lost their lives january 29. today we represent the districts and states impacted by the heartbreaking crash of flight 5342 and the united states blackhawk helicopter. the eagle flight left my hometown of wichita, kansas, with 65 passengers and two crew members onboard. they were skaters and a couple and group of friends returning from a trip. .. within view of the d.c.a. runway, we know all 64 passengers and three army soldiers perished. as we mourn the loss of these 6p *6 7 individuals there are no words to we grieve with the families and friends and pray for those in our districts who are in shock at the loss. we commit to finding answers and make sure another tragedy doesn't happen again. americans have paused to honor the 67 souls who perished last week. tonight on this first meeting in

housing.we have created 36,000 new units and we did add of schedule. because we have increased the supply, our rents have been blunted and rent increases have been blunted to half the national average. we see this, the housing crisis, as a big one for the nation that we have to confront. i am leading a task force right now with the national league of cities to talk about how cities can work with the federal government on these housing issues. even when i started, what it takes to build affordable housing, just across of labor, materials, inflation, it's exploded. for cities to continue to be partners with the private sector , we will have to be innovative and have great federal partnerships. mr. balsamo: what is the maximum seating capacity you're willing to do support? mayor bowser: we have seen some flexibility there. flexibility works for the team and for economics. stadiums are in the range of 60,000 to 70,000. mr. balsamo: pivoting to follow up on something that you said, it creates more

across the house floor with a strong bipartisan vote, 71 democrats joined house republicans in moving that policy forward. in my view, with the wind at our back and a leader like president trump who knows financial innovation and technology is where america's heart is, where are entrepreneurs hearts are, that will lead from the executive branch and now with this bicameral partnership with senate agriculture and banking along with our house committees. i look very forward to the success we will have in the 119th congress bit let me ask my friend from arkansas, chairman of the house agate committee. >> we are all still excited about the big kentucky win. it's good to be with you all. we've been working hard on this the last three years. we've had our ups and downs. we started working on it, crypto was gaining popularity and with sam bankman-fried and other things, it seems like perhaps it was in trouble. it's rebounded and is bigger than ever. our goal is to make sure consumers are protected, make sure the industry, in order for it to grow and be able to offer all of the things it does

i want to get to the housing.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 notensity 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 proposal could n

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.

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

house ■democrats wantnothing to do with it.nd we are going to do everything in our power to stop it. i yield back. the speaker pro tempore: for what purpose does the gentleman from florida seek recognition? >> mr. speaker, i ask unanimous consent to address the house for one minute. revise and extend my remarks. the speaker pro tempore: without objection the gentleman is recognized for one minute. >> mr. speaker, i rise today to honor the late great major general mason m. patrick. mr. haridopolos: a west virginia native, west point graduate, and world war i veteran honorably served the nation for 41 years. in 1921 he oversaw the creation of the air corps. recognized true experience from experience, learned to fly at the age of 59. his vision to place air pouer in its own branch was instrumental in building the worrell's first formidable air force n1950, patrick air force base in my district was named in his honor, recognizing his historic contributions to military aviation. today this base is known as patrick space force base a

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,

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

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

public housing is straightforward. this money that comes in will be used to pay off the pension withdrawal liability on the mainstream program expenses over here a very sporadic and so as a revenue they're pretty much in line with one another and same for mod rehab. thank you. okay. >> i do have one other yes, please. just a presentation on the investments. >> great. just before we go to that, do we have so the timeline that we're talking about here in terms of this presentation begins it ends where it begins october 1st and december 31st december 31st and have there been any other hud communications in relationship to our finances at all or in relationship to shortfall updates or otherwise conversations? >> and we'll have another conversation. >> it's scheduled for next week with hud. okay so it's start to your told so so we'll have we'll have updates on the two year tool and any conversations in relationship to hud at our next commission meeting. >> great. >> thank you. great. >> on the investment update slide and me

unless we have companies that can land these individual houses, we are going to begin losing more houses on roscoe. there is, as it always got better for going toward the provider as. howard has gone on both sides of this train in 1700 block or ask america about 17 houses involved in corner of andy road and roscommon. we're just putting everything we have but everything is not enough. badly needed help come from county firefighting units. 22 of their engine companies and control rangers are at the fire. ten more are on the way. can't operate directly ahead of the flames to stop their advance. 23 surrounding municipalities up to fill vacated los angeles station to cover for city companies have moved into the fire. fire decide where residents may remain where they may not. the decisions are based on the prime consideration and any fire safety to human life ahead of the fire. police officers are hard pressed to control the evacuation from the well. they work. radios blare up. messages. of trouble. get our and we need police officers here to evacuate these people. we are going lose some civi

house. so those are great memories we have that are very personal for me and our family. at the same time the most rewarding thing about the job is what we can do to help people in the community and across the commonwealth. host: other influences in your life? mr. mackenzie: i have an older brother. in a family with two sibling, one older brother, i looked up to my hold older brother, provided great guidance and direction throughout my life. somebody i still stay in close contact with. host: married? mr. mackenzie: married, have a 9-month-old son at this point. all of, my wife, thankfully she works remotely, and we have a rescue dog. we pile up in the car and come here to washington, d.c. we can make in it three to four hours. we'll go back and forth for session each week. host: your race was somewhat of a bellwether from 2024. you flipped a seat from blue to red. a lot of money spent. won by a few thousand votes. what was that like for you? mr. mackenzie: we knew it would be a challenging r

lieu: republicans control the white house, senate and the house. it's completely on republicans to not have a government shutdown. if they can't get the votes, they're the majority party, it is their fault if there's a government shutdown. mika and some special guests. reporter: thank you. i do want to ask -- i know at the same time a lot of your members and just now you mentioned attempts to find common ground with the administration and republicans while they're in power. i just want to get your reaction to one of your members, congressman al green, filing these impeachment articles already. do you think it's appropriate? mr. aguilar: it's not a focus of the caucus. reporter: two questions for you. one california-focused. with the governor on the hill today, are you hoping that these conversations he's having with leadership as well as his meeting with the white house will help with leveraging california's position in trying to get some of this wildfire aid? and then more broadly, you know, do you feel leader thune and peekersons -- speaker johns

the house. the speaker pro tempore: the clerk will report the title of the bill. the clerk: h.r. 26. a bill to prohibit a moratorium on the use of hydraulic fracturing. the speaker pro tempore: pursuant to house resolution 5, the bill is considered read. the bill shall be debatable for one hour, equally divided and controlled by the majority leader and the minority leader, or their respective designees. the gentleman from arkansas, mrn from california, mr. huffman, each will control 30 minutes. the chair now recognizes the gentleman from arkansas, mr. westerman. mr. westerman: mr. speaker, i ask unanimous consent that all members have five legislative days in which to revise and extend their remarks and insert ex trawnious -- extraneous material on h.r. 26. the speaker pro tempore: without objection. mr. westerman: mr. speaker, i yield myself such time as i may consume. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman is recognized. mr. westerman: i rise today in support of h.r. 26, the protecting america

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
