mr. schumer: mr. president. the presiding officer: the majority leader. mr. schumer: mr. president, well, the latest round of ukrainian security assistance was a $250 million package that included 155 millimeter rounds, stinger antiaircraft missiles and other weapons crucial for ukraine on the battlefield. that announcement was made on december 27. that's 28 days ago, four weeks. since then no more aid, no more aid has been sent to ukraine. and there won't be more unless congress acts. in the meantime, it's been reported that russia is beginning to restock its own supplies with help from north korea, including north korean missiles. right now senate negotiators on both sides are working furiously to approve another round of ukraine aid by finalizing our national security supplemental package. this package would not only deliver a lifeline for ukraine, it would secure our border, send aid to israel, provide humanitarian assistance for innocent civilians in gaza, and shore up security in the indo-pacific. our supplemental is a prescription for addressing america's top secur

mr. schumer: mr.sident, as congress approaches the january 19 funding deadline, less than ten days away, both parties in both chambers must work together quickly to ensure we avoid a government shutdown. congressional leaders agree, a shutdown would be a terrible way to start the year. speaker johnson and i are on the same page on that. a shutdown will hurt the economy, halt a lot of work of congress and government and endanger services that millions of americans rely upon. if reasonable members on both sides continue working together, we can ensure a shutdown's avoided. we took a big step last sunday towards our goal when speaker johnson and i announced funding level top lines and appropriators right flou are hard at work drafting the 12 appropriations bills. it's good news that all four of the appropriators, the four corners, want to do this, senator murray, senator collins, chemicals granger and -- congress members granger. i want to return to a point i made yesterday about some of my colleagues in

mr. schumer, the congress should continue to provide financial and military assistance to ukraine, because further quote from the leader of the democratic majority: with the beginning of the war, putin made a bet that sooner or later the united states will surrender , they doubt the resolve of the west, they doubt american strength, so we have an obligation to help our friends who are fighting for... for their survival, that's the opinion of the democratic leader, the opinion of the democratic majority leader of the senate, i'll remind you that aid is blocked not by democrats, but by republicans, and not even by all republicans, but by a small pro-trump group, who obeyed trump and now demand some bonuses for themselves and thus do not give us money, but very i hope that in the near future yes... hungary will not block the european union's allocation of financial aid to ukraine in the amount of 50 billion euros at the upcoming summit of the european union, which is scheduled for february 1 this year. the minister of foreign affairs of finland, elina valtonen, said this in an interview with

mr. schumer: now, mr. the senate took an important step towards passing a temporary extension ofnd avoidi an unnecessary government shutdown. we had a strong bipartisan vote last night with 68 members in favor of moving forward with the c.r., and that number would have been higher were it not for weather delays. it's a clear signal that majorities in both partiesn the senate want to pass this funding extension as quickly as we can. now, if both sides continue working in good faith, we can have the c.r. passed by tomorrow. if both sides continue working in good faith, we can avoid a shutdown without last-minuter no many americans. there's every reason in the world to make this an easy, uncomplicated, and drama-free process. i urgy colleagues on both sides of the aisle to do just that. work in good faith. we're willing to cooperate as always with the other side to keep this process moving. but republican members need to be realistic and practical about how much time we have left before the shutdownenate cann

mr. leader. i wanted to ask you with respect to government funding obviously we saw leader schumer start to move e process forward in terms of a potential c.r. is that set should be? and will democrats provide the votes for one? mr. jeffries: there are ongoing discussions about where we're at in the appropriations process and whether we have the ability to complete the that is in fronf us which right now involves deadlines on both january 19 and february 2. i think that we have to continue to press forward to get as much done, but there are some practical realities that many of the appropriators on both sides of the aisle have indicated could constrain them from completing their work as it relates to doing what needs to be done in the most robust way for the american people. so from my perspective let's that bridge when we get to it. it's a question that i think is going to be before us as todd need for continuing resolution, oner rather than later. reporter: thank you. michelle obama said she's ter fid about the outcome of the 2024 election. what's your response to those who may fear the possibl

me and to chuck schumer and listen and to, that shares of intel, homeland security, and foreign affairs, and homeland security government affairs in the senate. and it begins a dear mrspeaker and chairman leaders, as former senior executive of the federal period of investigation with deep experience combating dangerous to the nation, we write to express our concern about a current specific threat that may be one of the most pernicious ever to menace the united states. this is a long letter but i want to read you a couple of excerpts. excerpts. the threat we call it today is new and unfamiliar. in its modern history the u.s. has never suffered an evasion of the homeland, and yet one is unfolding now. military age men from across the globe, many from countries or regions not friendly to the united states, are landing in ways on our soil by the thousands, not by splashing ashore from a a ship or parachuting from a plane, but rather by foot across a border that is been actllorld as largey unprotected with ready access granted. it will be difficult overstate the danger our borders of what is comparatively a multi-division army of young, single adult males from hostile na

mr. speaker. i rise to highlight how president biden's open border policies and senator schumer's inaction, refuse to pass our border security act, is resulting in everyday americans dying. in 2023 the overdose death rate topped 112,000 individuals, setting a new record. fentanyl is still the number one killer of americans ages 18 to 45. 70% to 80% of all fentanyl in the u.s. comes from the southern border. that's not just me saying it, that's what the drug enforcement administration is saying. drug cartels are making $32 million a week smuggling individuals into our country, yes, every asylum seeker, migrant, illegal immigrant, whatever you want to call them, coming through our southern border, is paying the drug cartels who in turn then sell -- use that money to continue to poison our children. by selling drugs. the d.e.a. -- first, met he will say the d.e.a. -- let me say, the d.e.a. seized fentanyl. that's enough to kill every single american. the d.e.a. stated that in december of it 2022 the had -- of 2022, the most of the fentanyl being trafficked were from two cartels and it's being mass pr

schumer and the -- in the senate and to our committees of jurisdiction, the chairs of intrel, of homeland security and foreign affairs. homeland security and government affairs in the senate. it begin, dear mrker and chairman, leaders. as former members of the federal re concerning a threat that may be one of the most pernicious ever. that is a long letter, i want to read you a couple of excerpts. the threat we call out today is new and unfamiliar. in its modern history the u.s. has never suffered an invasion of the homeland yet one is unfolding now. military age men from across the globe, many from countries or regions not friendly to the united states, are landing our e thousands. not by splashing ashore from a ship or parachuting from a plane, but rather by across a border that has been accurately advertised around the world as largely unprotected with ready access granted. it would be difficult to everstate the danger represented by the presence inside our borders of what is comparatively a multidivision army of young, sile adult nations and regions whose background, intent or allegiance is completely unknown. they include individuals encountered by border officials and possibly release

mr. chairman, you referenced that hr to was in schumer's trashcan. you left out that i also said that hr to is in mcconnell's trashcan and they both said when hr two was passed, that it was too radical for them to take up. so when you all talk about you know, why they're doing it in the senate, they're not sharing it with you, that is because they had to start by scratch. hr 2 was so extreme -- >> will the gentleman yield? >> not yet. he rejected every amendment, not you personally, but the republicans voted on every amendment, even though you, on some instances, said there might be some merit in that. that is why they rejected it. so they are starting from scratch over there because of what they got from us were really house republicans on this committee. and then on top of that, listening to senator langford's comments over the weekend and i don't know him, not familiar with him and he sure did not sound like a liberal to me. but he really did sound like he was deeply concerned about what is going on at the border and it sounded like he had deep re

mr. chairman, let the record reflect a yawning silence from the leaders of the social media platforms. >> now all eyes on leader schumer and whether he will bring any number of the bills to the floor for a vote to finally regulate social media. >> john: aishah, thank you. sandra. >> sandra: as we mentioned a moment ago, our next guest was in that hearing room. he is suing snapchat's parent company after his 16-year-old son, sammy, died from a fentanyl-laced pill that was sold to him over the app. sam chapman joins us now. thank you so much for joining us. we understand this is obviously an incredibly difficult day for you, holding a picture of your beautiful son. what was your take away from what you heard from the executives in the room? >> i heard a lot of mealy mouth apology and a little bit of perjury and really a bunch of people who were not ready to support change, and that's what we as parents really want is change so that the number of deaths and the sexual exploitation on these platforms starts reducing and eventually goes away. but year after year it keeps going up. >> sandra: do you want to see a complete ba

mr. johnson, said he was the most conservative speaker we've ever had, and yet here we are the floor this afternoon without conservative policy writers. conservatives don't have a chance to amend it. we're honoring the schumer side deals that led us to vacate speaker mccarthy in the first place. talk is cheap. the american people deserve better. the notion of fiscal discipline itself might as well be put in a time capsule. congress considers no budgets. legislation never hits against cost limitations. and every bipartisan disagreement is solved simply by spending more on the pet programs of the opposing party. this continuing resolution is a perfect example of how we arrived at this unsustainable fiscal situation. and i urge my colleagues to oppose this legislation. the last thing i want to say is i think it's rich to hear some of my colleagues on the other side of the aisle discussing the sovereignty of the ukraine border and how necessary it is to protect their borders while we do nothing to protect our own. i reserve. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman yields back. mr. roy: reserve. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman reserves. the gentlewoman from texas, ms. granger, is recognized. ms. granger: i

schumer's staff for months. >> yeah. laura, no one is strong arming me. i looked at the president right across the table at him in the cabinet official's room. i said, mr.ve the authority right now to end this catastrophe. it's your actions that created it. in fact, mr. president, i told him in the meeting today, we have documented 64 instances of you taking executive actions and your agencies that created this catastrophe. mr. president, it's on you to unwind it. we don't need new laws. you could do it right now. i have cited to him, read him the legal authority on the phone thursday last week that he could take. and do you know what he said in the meeting, laura? he said we are ready to do big things on the border. hallelujah, mr. president. president biden do your job. fix the catastrophe that you created. it's unspeakable humanitarian catastrophe. and national security catastrophe. 302,000 people came over the borders in december alone. >> laura: they know this, mr. speaker. so, you going over to the white house today, i mean, i understand you want to show come did i with the democrats and you have a reputation wanting to work and that's great seam
