, statutory standard for liability.o what the sixth circuit did here, for instance, by asking for a reason to ink that an employer usually does, and it's against a group requires evidence that a plaintiff would not need to establish liability under the statute. because even if an employer gerally treats a group well, if a plaintiff has evidence at an employer discriminated against her, she should be able to proceed. >> i hear you sing the first step is to make sure you make clear that step one is a lobar -- is a low bar, you're not proving your case at that point. >> i do beeve that is important, a plaintiff is not required a steone to prove discrimination is more likely than not. they need to prove in step one that the facts, if left unexplained, would make them a script -- discrimination more likely than not. that does significant work, because if an employer cannot come up with a nondiscriminatory reason, any reason, even arbitrary reason fowhy it took the employment actio it took, that in itself was higy probative w

the standards were not met. are they required to meet the standards that currently increased? >> i think i mentioned earlier that we work on metrics that we are following and we followed a lot on the dashboard of the nine core metrics that we follow during the reset and that we will continue to follow as we move forward. you may see that in gao recommendation that we need to set our targets and thresholds, we set 8 of the 9, the 9 will be cement momentarily and that would be a measure of how we measure success but many others. oracle needs to meet those nine standards before we consider michigan a success and then we flex to the next facility? >> right,ic those standards -- some of the metrics are operational metrics, right, it is how we measure quality of care at our facilities. it's access to care for veterans. it's wait times my question is,t in 2026 come there's going to be those checks in the box. if they get three out of the nine, are the good to go and that is considered a success? or do they have to have all nine? i would say obviously they need all nine, but i'm askin

are they required to meet the standards that exist or have we increased those standards of success? dr. evans: i think i mentioned earlier that we have worked on metrics that we are following, and frankly with oracle health, we follow more metrics that are on the dashboard, the nine core metrics that we followed during the reset and we will continue to follow as we move forward. we have defined the thresholds for success for each of those with the exception of one that we are finalizing after we did a burn down of trouble tickets. and we are resetting with the normal. you should see that in a recommendation that we need to set our targets and thresholds. we have set eight of the nine and the nine will be set momentarily. that is a measure of how we measure success. rep. luttrell: so the -- so oracle needs to meet those nine standards before we consider michigan a success. and then reflex to the next facility? dr. evans: right. and i think some of the metrics are operational metrics it is how we measure quality of care at the facilities. it is access of care and wait times. rep. lutt

set the standards so the world heeds our standards and goes with our standards. that will be very important for america. sen. young: you can imagine a future through which your leadership and that of others and if the administration we are able to tease out our own standards, harmonize the standards with other, non-china countries and then, for those countries to produce products and export them into the rest of the world they would have to abide by our standards of transparency, openness, and consumer protection, all the rest of it. i think you are headed down the right track there. i hope we will have an opportunity to work on that should you be confirmed. let me turn to digital trade. despite the crank -- strength of u.s. digital services in the previous administration abandoned u.s. leadership on digital trade. they were first decades of bipartisan policy that promoted our digital exports including withdrawing support for key digital trade provisions at the wto, ignoring bipartisan congressional directives, and leaving american companies vulnerable to discrim

surely as my brother said, that very many double standards. so when we see that, those countries that have led in the past, you know, in terms of ensuring that there isn't national equivalence, that of course, old days we have standards. we have 5, you was, you know, when those countries, particularly into waste bins, we school or actually take away the powers are biggest international institutions. well then he becomes extremely painful, particularly for african countries. that's why we need to insist that to, you know, communities whereby the people allow me to sign up and the odd yeah, government to apply these international expenditures, expect to see how many times we expect to see our of my brother told me, lisa and all the african, the people must know supposed to be a government to apply these international standards, because that's the only way we can make sure that we have financing across the what . okay, jeffrey, the munich security conference, i guess column all the i must achieve said we're a 1930 scenario. nope, post 1948 will p

if it was a floodgate issue that would beon the pleading standards. cond point is an empirical estion. as we lay out and ashley judd -- the dglays out, more that half of the circuits do not apply to the background circumstances rule. we do not see a flood of litigation and there is not a huge delta between those circuits who apply it and who do not apply. that goes to the narrow question before t court today. in the circumstances -- in the circuits that do not apply it, i was a little bit unclear had made to the chief justice.ou and those that do not apply, you said that the fa of a particular person'sor whatever it is, gender or sexual orientation can come into account as a circumstance. what do you mean? >> if i was unclear, let me try in the ciritthat do not apply it, as ird and the 11th, they take the mcdonnell douglasard and say what kind of protected characteristic are you talking about? are you qualifieit adverse? ended the job remain open or a similar situated comparator. i thinthquestion of context mattering. i think that often comesn on step

i think the standard, how we fix this in my personal opinion is to figure out a way to standardize those standards across the system to wear, ok, every v.a. mc has the same exact standards on how they are going to refer out. the number of people they are going to refer out. i understand community care costs money, but again, when we have a veteran and you don't catch them in time and they end up going to the emergency room it becomes way more expensive, right? how do we go upstream to prevent that? i think that standardize practice across the v.a. mc really is an important piece. sen. gallego: some of that is text, but some of it is sop. matter what unit you were you did an sop so you didn't have to have massive retraining and there was uniformity? mr. golnick: we saw it from the v.a. mc, where the providers are referring out saying, i'm trying to refer, i understand this veteran needs that care, but the visit is telling us now. sen. gallego: got it. naomi -- did i say that correctly? really great organization. they helped me get my disability rating. so, thank you so much. i wanted to f

are they required to meet the standards that currently exist, or have we increased the standards of success? dr. evans: i think i mentioned earlier that we worked on the metrics we are following, and actually, frankly, we follow many more metrics than some of the metrics are operational metrics. it's access to care for veterans, it's wait times, let me break this down a little bit. >> my question is, at what point in 2026 come there's going to be those checks in the box. if they get three out of the nine, are the good to go and that is considered a success? or do they have to have all nine? i would say obviously they need all nine, but i'm asking you. >> my preference is that we are meeting our goals across the board. having said that, i would say we are deploying the federal bhr in michigan. this is a partnership that ba and oracle health are going to need to do this together and frankly with the local leadership in michigan, success here is a shared project. i would say that is number one. but number two, i would like us to see us meeting our goals across all the metrics. >> i'm still try

i will restate, 93% in the seventh district of ohio use the standard deduction. ms. silver, highlighted how small and medium-size and effectors are leveraging the tcja to reinvest in local communities and expand their workforce. with many of these provisions set to expire at the end of this year, we face the potential loss of nearly a quarter of a million jobs just in my home state of ohio, as congressman carrie earlier mention. could you elaborate on the impacts businesses like yours and others across the country would encounter if these critical tax benefits are allowed to expire? ms. silver: i can answer that by saying -- i will expand upon what i've been able to do because of it. when you think about that, it's can i do this stuff when these tax policies expire? one example is i was able to use the 199 a deduction to reinvest in my company. we bought our first collaborative robot. it is integrated with a lathe and allows us to run the machine unattended at night. it increases my three-part -- throughput and productivity, so much so i could go to a customer and co

the president wants to increase standards. he wants pilots from this country who have the great responsibility of flying american citizens by the tens of millions every single day to be chosen for the position based on merit and skills. so, the administration will continue to prioritize this. >> the air traffic controller on wednesday night, were they hired or fired at some point because of their race? sec. leavitt: that investigation is ongoing. when we have updates on the individuals involved in the collision, including the air traffic controller, the pilots of the helicopter and others, we will confirm those. i don't want to confirm names from the podium today, we are not in a position to do that. i will say the president has rightly pointed out that there have been problems with the aviation industry over the past several years that started under barack obama in 2014. >> when the president says that the black hawk helicopter was flying too high, it's not too complicated to understand, is he suggesting that the helicopter m

adapting that to environmental standards when countries fail to enforce environmental standards, not only does that harm the communities and the workers in those countries, but again, it's basically a form of subsidy where a country is allowing a company, a factory to operate under their own standards in order to have that export advantage to come to our markets without having to bear those costs of cleaning up pollution and keeping their environment safe. so those are just a couple examples. >> thank you. i appreciate that. i'm out of time. i'll go back to the chairman. >> thank you. i appreciate all the questions here. we do have a lot to ask. i'm glad to say that i led a letter last year regarding colombia's countervailing duty investigation into us milk powder exports. unfortunately, as you know, the colombians moved ahead by imposing preliminary tariffs with an announcement on the final ruling expected soon. i'm concerned that colombia's use of politically motivated countervailing duty investigations across commodities, including dairy and ethanol will actually have copycat effe

there is no court in the country applying thatersion of the standard. the dispute between e courts and what divides us in this case is rather, -- whether, when looking at the prior eves u can find if something the office did was reasonable in a general cosmic sense and say that contributed to th danger and even though iistself not a violation of the fourth amendment, it is basis for a fourth ame excessive force claim. ms. pettit: in the last 15 years rejectedt least three times lawful conduct violates the fourth amendment because earlier split-second decision made confrontation more likely. what judge higginbotham dubbed the mof threat doctrine merelyes that rule. as of the court recognized in cases like mendez and sh had, it's necessary because the th amendment must be applied by tusds of real crops in the real world without an unacceptable degree of unpredicbity. the moment of the officer created risk theory that petitioners have continuously pres least until the reply brief inhis court is antithetical to that proposition because it invites subjective

now it's about standards and diversity. because, as melissa points out, we have a more equitable federal workforce, right? >> and we need to understand that shift for what it is. right. it is a decidedly racist and sexist and, and, and masculinist agenda. i think we need to be able to name it ali. we've been tracking prior to his election as president, the influence of white nationalism, of white christian nationalism on the trump campaign. we were talking about its elements and project 2025, and now we see it show up in policy and we're not using the language. why not? >> we're relitigating. >> the mid-20th century. we're relitigating the black freedom struggle. we're relitigating the women's movement. we're relitigating the gay liberation movement. we need to understand what's motivating it. and let's be clear, and i and i just have to say this right, every time the country. tires of the quest for racial justice, it falls into. this illusion, this fantasy of trying to get rid. of us, of trying to move us to the margins, t
