heard me say here on this floor in the past, ben franklin was asked as he was exiting the constitutional convention in philadelphia in 1787, he was asked, he said, mr. franklin, what have you wrought here? what have you created here? he said famously, a republic if we can keep it. a republic if we can keep it. that response should not cause us to undervalue its essential meaning. democratic republics are not merely founded on the consent of the people but they are absolutely dependent on the involvement of the people for the continued help of our -- health of our democracy. while there were many things that our founding fathers disagreed upon, the one thing that they all agreed on, as you know, is that they didn't want america to ever be ruled by a king. they wanted to make sure it never happened. and you know what? we still feel that way today. when we pledge allegiance to the flag or take an oath to defend the constitution against threats foreign or domestic, we pledge our allegiance to our country and our constitution under which we were established. let me just close, if i can -- i want to thank all of my current and former staff members for jo

ben thompson. we start with the latest installment in the rupert murdoch succession saga. a court in the us state of nevada has rejected mrch's plans to change the terms of his family trust and hand editorial control of his media empire to his son lachlan. the media mogul�*s other children had objected to their father 5 plans, which would have deprived them of a say in how the family business is run after he dies. michelle fleury reports from new york. this is a case that has played out behind closed doors. rupert murdoch tried to amend a 1999 family trust to give his son, lachlan, more control over the family media empire, bypassing siblings prudence, elizabeth and james, who don't necessarily share his conservative views. now, this ruling, guaranteeing a say for all of the children, could change the editorial stance of the murdoch family's many media assets. these include controlling stakes in the times and sun newspapers in the uk. and, perhaps more significantly, fox news in america, the powerhouse conservative network. it's had a huge influence on republican politics and right wing audiences. a nevada commissioner ru

mrs. kh an and treasurer sisneros and ben rosenfeld for all your work. there were many things about prop m i thought were important, but i thought getting rid of many of these fees is something that as you know, i and my office have been interested in for many many years. i think tom [indiscernible] was working with you on a potential repeal years ago and i'm glad it is finally coming to pass. some of these fees are among the most annoying for small businesses. seamingly the most opponentsless and good to see them going and i think one-in a miserable november election one of the bright spots is able to move forward on this, so thank you for all your work. >> thank you. the way i see it, i want to be clear too though, while-because of the passage of prop m and the promising of the $10 million really from general fund, doesn't quite take place until the third year, is that correct? >> i differ to the controller's office for the balance of the fiscal years, but you are correct, the [audio cut out] april 1 to march 31 and that next bill is where you start to

tributes have ben pouring in for the former indian prime minister, manmohan singh, who has died at the age of 92. mras the first prime minister in india from the sikh faith. in a tribute post on social media, current prime ministeer narendra modi called his predecessor "one of india's most distinguished leaders". and us secretary of state anthony blinken also offered condolences on behalf of the us, referring to mr singh as "one of the greatest champions of the us—india strategic partnership". for more on his life, sophie long reports. almost bankrupt at the time manmohan singh entered party politics, india's image was to change, driven by a booming it sector, and much of this is put down to the liberalisation, the loosening of infamous bureaucratic controls introduced by manmohan singh after he became finance minister in 1991. he put the country on the path to achieving some of the fastest growth rates in the world. i, manmohan singh.. it also paved the way for him to become, in 2004, india's first sikh prime minister. he'll be remembered particularly for making the country talked about as an emerg

mr. snyder said that necessity is the mother of invention. i want to point out the thorstein benaid that invention is the mother of necessity too. um, second, um i am concerned about how in the last round with trump, our office, among many others, was deluged with businesses applying for tariff exemptions and wanting us to write letters and intervene with the administration and the like. i mentioned earlier that at least some have done research that showed that firms favorable to the administration get better treatment than firms unfavorable to administration. mr. greer, do you talk at all about how corporations could game the system, or is there an opening for corruption? because of who gets to pay the tariffs and who doesn't. >> tariff systems are, going back at hundred years, the former treasury secretary mr. gallatin for jefferson madison, you know, tariffs are very opaque and non-transparent in comparison to other sorts of taxes and relatively easily manipulated by wealthy and connected businesses. the problem i saw with the exclusion system you mentioned was that they were

. >> charlie, ben referenced this, you had reporting in 2022, from peter baker and susan glasser, trump was interested in greenland. there was a special team evaluating the prospects mraking federal money from puerto rico, which he disparaged and using it to buy greenland, and trading puerto rico for greenland, and you have this from the same reporting. i said, why don't we have that, trump recalls in an interview for the book, you take a look at a map, i'm a real estate developer. i look at a corner, i say i've got to get that store for the building i'm building, et cetera, it's not that different. he added, i love maps, and i've always said, look at the size of this, it's massive, that should be part of the united states. being president of the united states, charlie sykes, slightly different than being a real estate developer? >> just slightly. this is one of those moments where you go is this real life? is this serious? is this a joke? we lost the distinction between the two. i have to admit i expected a lot of bad things to come from trump 2.0. i did not think the war with panama or denmark was on my bingo card, and are we still talking about annexing canada as

ben cardin's work in this senate shows us how we can create just such a world. tom carper. mr. president, it was late in the 1990's when a staffer handed a letter to gare's then -- to delaware's nen governor -- then governor tom carper. the letter read, i'm writing to the governors of all 50 states to ask the same question -- what is the secret to happiness? dear melissa, the governor replied, serve others, sincerely, tom. that was it. for then governor, now senator tom carper, that simple, self less bit of advice, serve others, could serve up his entire political career and life. he is moderate, bipartisan, and relentless. as chair of the senate environment and public works committee, tom carper helped lead the fight to pass the inflation reduction act, the most significant investment ever, ever to tackle the climate crisis. the law also helped lower health care costs and energy costs and strengthen america's energy security. what a combination. tom carper was a key author of the largest long-term infrastructure investment in the history of the united states, the bipartisan in

mr. cornyn: madam president, i think my colleague from connecticut for offering the unanimous consent request by which we passed these various bills. i just want to discuss the big bennational park boundary act. texas is home to a very diverse terrain, which includes vibrant wildlife and big, wide, open spaces. big ben national park is no exception. this legislation that we just passed by unanimous consent here in the senate expands and preserves the park's heritage, its natural resources, and it's jaw-dropping scenery. while also safeguarding private property rights. this bill authorizes the national park service to acquire approximately 6,100 acres of land adjacent to takeling ga -- taligga park. it says the national park service may only acquire land through donation, purchased from property own others are exchange. it explicitly prohibits the use of eminent domain or condemnation thereby protecting property rights. this legislation is important helping texans and all americans enjoy our big, beautiful national parks and i'm pleased that the senate has adopted this legislation today by unanimous consent. i yield the floor. the presiding officer: the senator from
