when mr. moran collin, was 1st elected in 2018. he didn't really take power. he shared it with the establishment as other prime ministers have have to do in what practice, donnie is called their hybrid regime. the former cricket player played ball with the military until 2021. when he clashed with army cheese silver, who should lead the intelligence agency? by 2022. he was out of office, then con, went after the establishment, transferring taboos by naming and shaming army heads, setting himself on a collision course with the security apparatus affectively feeling his own political face. i think this is also a very simplistic way of looking at it. mister brown khan, he may have read the kind of narrative which has made him a very popular leader in buckets on what he's committed. a long list of mistakes, both why he wasn't follow from 2018 to 20 was thrown out in 2022 in the board of no confidence and he wouldn't afterwards. so for example, he better disparity about some very large scale conspiracy in which the united states was involved with the opposition par

mr. morancongress took a step in the right direction to do something positive to help business in this struggling economy. we came together to pass the tax relief for american families and workers act. this bill will spur american innovation and competitiveness. will reinvigorate jobs at home, and restore trumpery business friendly tax policies that spur economic growth. my east texas businesses have been asking for a pro-growth, pro-job, and pro-american tax package designed to revitalize our economy and provide relief to american small businesses. last night we provided such a package. restoring smart tax policy matters. this bill extends the 2017 republican tax cuts and jobs act that has a proven track record of incentivizing u.s. investment, lifting families out of poverty, and allowing americans to keep more of their paychecks. i stand with our small businesses and i thank chairman smith for his diligent work on this thoughtful tax policy. i yield back. the speaker pro tempore: for what pu

mr. chairman. >> thank you, senator moran. i believe senator fetterman is on the way and senator matt houston. i want to ask another question. i appreciate your interchange with your exchange is a better word with senator smith. pointing out the economy in this country versus other countries and pointing out the wage growth in this country. you know, the people were hit hard by inflation. people for good reason are concerned. i think it is clear though that a big part of inflation has been all the corporate buybacks and corporate greed and it just generally wall street predators. eyesight often in this committee that the average ceo of domantas, the old chrysler, which uaw is on strike with, the ceo makes 140 times what the average worker makes. you are recognized. >> thank you, mr. chairman. late last year i asked various regulators who came before this committee whether they believed the banking system was strong or not and they all answered yes. so today i would like to start with that searing same question for you. in your opinion, is the u.s. banking sector strong? >> unbalanced, the answ

mr trump's efforts to overturn his 2020 election loss. but the supreme court's decision to take up the case could delay it beyond the election in november. peter bowes has moranf this came as a surprise. —— has more. i think it was inevitable that this would end up in the supreme court. donald trump's claims averted been rejected by a lower court and he claims he is immune to this kind of criminal prosecution because he was president at the time. this relates to the allegations that he tried to overturn the result of the 2020 election and mr trump faces multiple charges including one that he conspired to defraud the come of this was a trial does do to start very soon next month and it is been delayed and it is now on hold reading from the supreme court that they intend to hear arguments in april, the third week of april and a decision expected at some point injune and we know now that this trial, if indeed it goes ahead, it will not be happening until at leastjuly and were getting into political convention season in the election is looming in november and one of donald trump tactics has always been to try to delay these legal proceedings against him while he

moran, commissioners. deborah holley, on behalf of the katz's, we agree with mr.winslow's recommendation that this project that you should take doctor, because this project presents exceptional or extraordinary circumstances. um where we differ is that we are requesting the one additional modification. remove the fourth floor. we understand that the need to accommodate the project sponsors , aging families, um, however, they don't need to have a 4500 square foot uh, house house to be able to live together, as shown in on the slide. most of the single family homes in the neighborhood are quite modest in size, about about 1500ft!s, two stories like the project sponsors home. uh, the project would triple the size of the existing home. um, we while there are few, uh, four story buildings in the neighborhood, as shown in this slide, um, they they are multifamily units. they contain 2 to 18 units. but again , the scale is mostly two story, uh, homes. planning department staff got it right the first two times they reviewed the design and told the project sponsors to remo

mr. president, it's been a long night, a long weekend, and a long few months, but a new day is here and our efforts have been moran worth it -- more than worth it. today we witnessed one of the most historic and consequential bills to have ever passed the senate. it's certainly been years, perhaps decades, since the senate passed a bill that so greatly impacts not just our national security, not just the security of our allies, but the security of western democracy. as i have said, if we want the world to remain a safe place for freedom, for democratic principles, for our future prosperity, then america must lead the way. and with this bill, the senate declares that american leadership will not waiver, will not falter, will not fail. with this bill, the senate keeps its word to ukrainians in desperate need of supplies and ammunition, to innocent palestinian civilians in need of relief, to israelis in need of support, and to u.s. servicemembers on patrol in the indo-pacific, the red seas, and around the world. today we make vladimir putin regret the day he questioned america's resolve and we make clear to others li
