my state also presented, and what kind of mini me from a big state and a little state, and to randi's point, we have that industrial base, but the cost of being at a state like new jersey is -- needless to say, if you do not wash your own face, nobody is going to wash it or you i believe that this is an opportunity for a state like new jersey. we didn't have rpints -- prints. we had bruce and bon jovi. but ken, all of the states made a great presentation, but i want to go back where i started my conversation with the committee. diversity is an important factor we have to deal with here. why not have more of it than last of it -- less of it? four or five states, i don't know the number, but why can't we have states that represent the diversity of this great country? why doesn't have to be one or the other? -- why does it have to be one or the other? this is an emerging issue around the country. hispanics feel more and more not on the table, and you are going to hear more of this as this process goes on. hispanic, latino, we really have to begin to look at that as an issue i think the d

to state in the united states of america.hat happens to the woman who is happily pregnant who may be going to visit her family in illinois, where thank god abortion is still legal? are you going to check her out? is she going to have to prove somehow she's not going for an abortion? how are you going tone force this without going into all the personal history of people who are traveling, women, traveling across state lines? this is enough is enough. in the united states of america the right to travel is sacred, it is protected under the commerce clause and we will not go back. women will not go back. i yield back. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from new jersey reserves. the gentlewoman from washington is recognized. >> thank you, madam speaker, pleased to yield three minutes to our whip, strong defender of the right to life, steve scalise from louisiana. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman is recognized for three minutes. mr. scalise: i want to thank the gentlelady, the ranking member of the energy and commerce com

my state also preempted and what kind of a big state and a little state and to randy! we had that industrial base but like has been pointed out the cost of a state like new jersey is they used to say if you don't wash your own face nobody's going to wash it for you . i really believe that this is an opportunity for a state like new jersey. we didn't have prints and i want to talk tothe governor about that . we have bruce and we have bon jovi. i mean, after all. but can, all of the states really made a great presentation but i want to go back to where i started my e. conversation with this committee. diversity is a very important factor we have to deal with . and why not have more of it than less of it? we have four or five states, i don't know what the number is but why can't we have three of the states that represent the diversity of this great country? why does it have to be one or the other? why can't we have more? this is an emerging issue around the country . let me talk to you about hispanics feel more and more not at the table and you're going to hear more of th

in our state. it has really been devastating for so many as reproductive care has really been halted in its tracks in many places across the country. that constitutional right that women have relied on for five decades has been ripped away. and for now at least, where you live, will determine your rights. so, for now, it is up to the states to determine whether women can get reproductive health care and in north carolina, they still can. and, i am determined to keep it that way. the cause -- because of our location in the southeast, north carolina is already seeing an influx of patients coming to our state for safe care. according to the planned parenthood of south atlantic, there clinics in north carolina have scheduled 192 nation from out-of-state -- patients from out of state for next week alone. that means about 10,000 extra patients from out-of-state coming into north carolina in the next year. mostly from the state that have handsb --bans and tighter restrictions. those are just the numbers f

by thea state. states that you have to carry your pregnancy to term affect any regard to individual circumstances that you might face. an instant, as a result of this court's decision state laws to ban abortion art literally from the 1800s, are coming back into being. politicians are writing state laws. force a woman to carry a term without exceptions. think about that. even for women and children who have been raped, like that 10-year-old girl in ohio, who have to travel to indiana for an abortion is living in the state where they are talking about a ilpersonhood bill. soldiers serving in my home state for women who have served in the armed forces, who are worried about women who were serving in the armed forces today on u.s. military bases in states like mississippi have banned abortion. what is supposed to happen to them? what happened to their right to privacy? even if w we pay for them to travel everyone is going to know what is going on. pregnant women could easily find themselves in america t

the fundamental floors are not state-by-state ideas. we are one nation with one constitution, with a fundamental floor. >> the gentleman's time has expired. >> thank you very much, i yield back. >> the gentleman from kentucky, mr. comer, his recognized. >> thank, you madam chair. miss hawley, there were no women on the supreme court when roe was decided. one woman when casey was decided in three women went to hobbes was decided. additionally, there are 2295 women in state legislatures today across the country. women are more represented in government today than at any time in our history. members of state legislatures are voted and office by their constituents, to represent their constituents. is that correct? >> that is correct. >> supreme court justices are expected to judge the law, not public opinion. correct? >> absolutely. >> so, would you agree that state legislatures are the best equipped to regulate abortion based on the beliefs and opinions of their constituents. >> so, the dobbs decision says that, because abortion is nowhere

states. after which we'll take questions by the media. prime minister yair lapid, the floor is yours. p.m. lapid: thank you, mr. president, in march, 1965, on dr. martin luther king's famous march from selma to montgomery, walking beside him in the front row was a jewish rabbi. rabbi abraham joseph hershel. when he returned home that day, rabbi hershel wrote in his diary, today i felt my legs were praying. in the state of israel, mr. president, our legs pray every single day. nothing is in our lives is taken for granted. my father was a jewish child hiding from those who tried to kill him. the fact that i am standing here today did not happen by itself. we learned the lesson, mr. president. at all times israel must be strong, free and safe. with a powerful army that can defend our citizens. be it joshua crossing the river or dr. king crossing the alabama river, the principle is the ande strong, free and safe. with a powerful army the premise the same, if you want your independence, your hands

i think the states will still have a lot of authority and a scenario when all states are going to be outlawing contraceptives are gay, marriage is not going to happen, but even one state. yeah, i yeah. unfortunately this in court decision is open the door open. the floodgates and there will be more setbacks, but as i mentioned, this is pendulum united states, word swings conserves that it swings back the other way. it's not the end of the world, it's, it's a bad time in the united states, but this is what the conservative republicans been working for for the last 2 decades. packing the court, some of the people who helped donald trump didn't elect donald trump, but that that was their goal. getting conservative justices extreme justices. it's a problem, but it's not the end of the world. there are still a lot of people that they've standing up and fighting this, and there's still half the states were. this is that are inviting people who are feeling persecuting these states to come back to reinstate these was once they that once they've been caught. and you said the pendulum is now s

to state in the united states of america.hat happens to the woman who is happily pregnant who may be going to visit her family in illinois, where thank god abortion is still legal? are you going to check her out? is she going to have to prove somehow she's not going for an abortion? how are you going tone force this without going into all the personal history of people who are traveling, women, traveling across state lines? this is enough is enough. in the united states of america the right to travel is sacred, it is protected under the commerce clause and we will not go back. women will not go back. i yield back. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from new jersey reserves. the gentlewoman from washington is recognized. >> thank you, madam speaker, pleased to yield three minutes to our whip, strong defender of the right to life, steve scalise from louisiana. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman is recognized for three minutes. mr. scalise: i want to thank the gentlelady, the ranking member of the energy and commerce com

state other the state constitution.ylvania, north carolina, minnesota, michigan, the list goes on and on. what's republicans want to do is take a vital toll out of the tool box, for those people trying to protect democracy. and that tool are the state courts using state law and state constitutional, to hold their state legislators accountable to those laws. >> we should just be clear about the, i mean i hope we are expelling this out clearly. because it could be a little complex. but just to give an example here, what is so dangerous about this is, if the state legislator draws its own districts. and it draws it in such a way that say, a republican party can get 57% of the seats with 45% of the votes. then they have used this kind of anti-democratic means to barricade themselves in power, and then the supreme court comes along and says, sorry, those guys are essentially on reviewable. they can do whatever they want. you're in a pretty by script of minority rule then. >> right. and chris, remember, it was only in 2019 th

we are a choice state, we made that decision as a state and if women want to travel to my state to seek services and my providers want to get those services and help women travel, we shouldn't be impeding those decisions. it is ironic, i could hear my colleagues in this case, let's take the emotion out of it except when they want to put emotion in the issue when it is not convenient for the argument they are making, let me address a couple things because now i have learned from my colleagues, the arguments will make that somehow this legislation is absolutely not a states rights issue and nobody flying into my state to provide healthcare, the actual healthcare, very offensive to me and so many that somehow this is trafficking women. i know trafficking. i wrote the law to prevent sex trafficking, sexual exploitation in nevada for so many who were being sexually exploited across this country. to hold predators accountable, to make sure they can become providers. this is not trafficking. for anyone to stand up and say it is has complete misunderstanding, and i welcome you to the fight abou

to leave the union in order to show to believe in the states by a state-by-state level and he didn't have a right to succeed, lincoln understood were the source that madison authority to sovereignty lies of the people not with any government, government has borrowed towers and delegated to authority on the federal level lincoln was trying to reinforce the conviction that they are they true masters of the government and not the other way around he thought the session is anarchy and demented. you cannot participate in an election and then what they were doing and all their events if you participate in the liability depends on the good winners and good losers and just as republicans are good losers all of the democrats need to be good losers 1860 exhibit a in terms of excuse to. my sense of lincoln's understanding and drawing from the founders the legacy of the founders is his understanding that true sovereignty lies with the people everyone has a natural right and can only be told what to do if he gets his consent to cover for calvin hudson question of establishing government, astoundi

in states that joe biden won, the democratic electors gathered in states that donald trump won, republican electors gathered. except that in seven states that joe biden won while democrats were gathering to cast their official votes, we republicans gathered as well, including in the state of georgia. >> democratic party electors met right up there in the senate chambers. they are official, they are certified and they voted for joe biden. but georgia republicans, they met as exactly the same time, right behind those closed doors. they are not official, not certified, they still met and chose donald trump. >> even as democratic party electors were meeting in the georgia state senate for the first time in 28 years to select a democratic vice president and vice president, one floor below, at the state capital, georgia republicans were meeting for their own meeting to select republican electors for donald trump. >> those fake republican electors signed forged certificates, purporting to be the real electoral college votes and, in other words, asserting that in fact donald trump had won georgia.

you have states literally going against states and states going against the federal goth. some states like texas are talking about how do they criminalize women who may leave their state to go to state where abortions are legal. we know states don't want to limit the inabilities of women to get abortions in their state. those states that are banning abortion want to reach into other states where women may travel to make it illegal for those women to travel outside the state. we'll see a lot of litigation around that. we have seen the federal government, the department of justice say, there's something called the inner state commerce clause. you cannot prevent women from traveling from one state to the other to seek medical care. we saw justice kavanaugh in his concurring opinion in dobbs state that nothing many the dobbs decision was going to prevent women from traveling from state to state. what's going to happen ultimately with respect to how states rule in light of dobbs is yet to be seen. woe we know there's utter chaos. >> there's nuance here. the pro-life or anti-abo

redder states will see meaningful restrictions on abortions and those restrictions will vary state-by-stateending on the values and mores of their citizens. that's our constitution was meant to operate. if you disagree the abortion laws in your state you have an outlet to express that y disagreement even outlet to be involved in the political process. you haven't outlet to advocate what you believe the law should be pretty were not forced to live under the rule of unelected judges operating its kingston decreeing the rules for 330 million americans. i believe abortion is a tragedy. over 60 million unborn children who never lived would have never dance dance never hugged to never have loved. our country is far poor for the millions of african-american children who never had a chance to livenc and contribute to our country. unfortunately one of the consequences of the court taking this out of the democratic process is two days modern democrat party has become radicalized on abortion. parenthood planned versus casey let people don't know that a case in question was governor casey a democrat fo

home state from punishment for providing care to women from states where state legislatures have made abortions illegal. have made abortions illegal. have made abortion illegal. i was proud to work with senator cortez mascolp to help draft the freedom to travel for healthcare act. it will protect women's rights to cross state lines and seek medical services and protect providers in states that they are traveling to. s there is much more to stand against this assault on the constitutional rights and i yieldna the floor. >> mr. president, while our colleagues are joining us to speak on behalf of the language, i wanted to thank the senator for her legislation and just emphasize how important this is to people all through the united states including my state that happens to be a border state but even in seattle providers are worried about a chilling effect so i'm wondering if the senator from nevada while our colleagues have been talking about how this impacts individuals, people seeking healthcare in other states, what is happening now with the chilling affect to providers and their anxi

but there is a mountain of evidence, notjust from the united states or indeed not from the united states many other countries which have draconian abortion laws, which says those laws do not stop abortions happening, they simply happen underground. yeah, that's why your other part of the question about the care of women, about the health care piece of this is vital and important. and in every state where there is a limit of any type there is also companion legislation that addresses the needs of women and their unborn children, later born at least in the first few years of life. so providing a springboard support and help in every way. and when i say every way, i mean, think of a woman who is unemployed, already has a child, doesn't have health care or a home, this is a moment in her life when she actually can get help and hope and practical support where she had not. where some of the fundamental issues that led to the place where she is are addressed, whether it's addiction or mental health care or finishing a gre, where you are finishing a high school education. so the pro—life moveme

by state.re will be consensus, and consensus on the national level. likely not exactly everything i want, likely not everything the pro—abortion movement wants, either. it will be somewhere in the middle. consensus is a fruit of democracy we have not had the privilege of engaging in for almost 50 years, and that is not to be underestimated, what that has done to the moral fabric and the civility in this country, so now we're just getting started. a few years back on this show, we interviewed rob schenck, an evangelical pastor who, going back decades, was one of the most extreme anti—abortion campaigners, picketing those abortion clinics, intimidating doctors and nurses working inside. he is now ashamed of the anti—abortion movement. he points to all sorts of different ways he's ashamed — the violence and intimidation, cynical manoeuvres like paying norma mccorvey, the real jane roe, to renounce her view that abortion was legitimate. she then, near death, said that she only said that because of

if states do _ states. it is highly unpredictable. if states do in _ states. do in fact _ states. it is highly unpredictable. if states do in fact try _ states. it is highly unpredictable. if states do in fact try to - states. it is highly unpredictable. if states do in fact try to stop - if states do in fact try to stop people from travelling outside of the united states and sometimes do that using what are called texas style laws that allow people to sue anyone who is travelling potentially performing an abortion. that's an unprecedented situation and really in the recent history of united states or even the entire history of the united states. are likely to see illegal uncertainty and divisiveness because lawmakers are not going to know what they can get away with and are likely to push the envelope to find out. activists in libya say they will continue protesting until all the ruling elite step aside. on friday, protesters stormed the parliament the demonstrators want the elections originally scheduled for last december to be held. the united nations says

our states. our state is sanctuary for all american women who want health care services. we talked about the ways the federal government could assist in that effort, and there are several. number one, we are glad the president has come out against the filibuster, so we get a couple more votes in the u.s. senate to pass the national law protecting this right, but before that happens, there are several things the federal government can do. i suggested the president and the executive order to order the law or some agencies or security agencies and the federal government to not cooperate with local prosecutors or law enforcement that try to put their tentacles into my state when we try to protect women from other states to get these reproductive services, so telling the fbi, homeland security not to cooperate with other local law enforcement and try to prosecute women who come to our state, that can be helpful. it sounded like the president was interested in this idea and would review it. it is impor

fourth, the united states will build political economic and security connections between the united states, between the us partners wherever possible while respecting each country's sovereignty and independent choices and integration , interconnection , these are the underlying themes today. how many years have we been trying to connect iraq's electricity within the gcc grids? i remember being briefed on it in 2016 when i was vice president of the united of states. i said let's get it done. well, today, finally after years of failed efforts and false starts and thanksto the efforts of so many around this table it's done .new energy projects linking the region and a new trade deal and investments between neighbors like the saudi investments in egypt and jordan. and more that we build these connections the more we will that return fits to our people and will grow. fifth, the united states will alwayspromote human rights and the values enshrined in the un charter . foundational freedoms are foundational to who we are as americans. it's in our dna. but it's also because we know that the future

if you're going to talk about the us you would say these united states these united states. that sounds so weird to our ears, doesn't it? so when did these united states which she was used? well into the late 19th century. when did that become the united states? how did you get one country out of these various countries that were, you know various states? now it's important to remember apropos of this that and as we talk about the us constitution. that when the car that the united states has had two lives. i realize it's very easy to forget about the first life because it was pretty short. the first life of the united states was from roughly 1776 to roughly 1788 89. period of a decade and more that's when we were a confederation. then the united states change this government had a second life and it became a federation a federal republic and that's a really key distinction because when the country first started the we say the country but actually the states. all felt very different from one another. yes, they spoke the same language sorta kinda depending whether you're a ver

the united states built security connections between the united states, partners, wherever possible. while respecting these integration, interconnection, these are the underlying themes of our meeting today. how many years have we been trying to connect iraq's electricity into the gcc grades. --grids. i remember being briefed on it in 2016 when i was vice president of the united states. i said let's get it done. today, finally, after years of failed efforts and false starts, thanks to the efforts of so many around this table, it is done. new projects linking the region like the saudi investments in egypt and jordan. the more we build these connections, the more we will see the benefits return to our people. the united states will always value human rights enshrined in the u.n. charter. foundational freedoms are foundational to who we are as americans. it is in our dna. it is also because we know the future will be won by the countries that unleash the full potential of their populations. equal rights and contributing to building stronger economies, resilient societies and more modern

and then state governments. it's oftentimes state governments that are pushing the hardest with the united states acting then as the power that's going to step in negotiate removal treaties and accomplish the deportation of native americans. one of the things that you've done in your work that is so interesting is after this period that we're talking about native americans are removed for most all intents and purposes at least here in georgia. i know there's a pretty strong band of eastern the eastern band the cherokee still in western, north carolina, but here in georgia, and i know so white swarm over this this territory we see the spread of african american slavery into this comes part of the cotton kingdom and in some ways becomes an important part of the history of 19th century, georgia, but then one of the really interesting things about it is that georgians also eventually began to embrace the idea of remembering and telling the story of what happened to the cherokee and it's always portrayed as a tragedy

whether they are in another state or they are in that state. i introduced legislation with a couple of colleagues which i hope we will be hearing this week or next week, to allow for the free trial off american citizens is that something you think is important in michigan? >> i do think that's important but i want to take an step back and remind everybody how devastating that is going to be for those who are low income. particularly women of color and girls do not have the memes to travel pay to bring it back to an example here in michigan, our attorney general has said that she herself in her capacity will not enforce the 2:30 one law. she is also said she cannot compel county level price goes to save you up to your bedroom with no lather work on what state you travel to the denture zip code whether or not you can get direct access to care when you can ask who are coming. i want to go back to the story assured of the testimony. they shared with me they learned their only port physicians and all of metro detroit who had been trained to carry ou

state of washington.day morning futures." all right, tiffany, where did you get the awe das the city to think you could take on a 30-year incumbent democrat out of the state of washington? what made you wake up and said, hey, scotty, i've got an idea. i'm going to run for the united states senate and win this race? [laughter] >> well, you know, really our battle started 17 years ago. our family faced bad policy. when i was 23 years to old, i walked into scotty's hospital room at walter reed army medical center and, you know, he was in a coma, there was tubes coming out of every orifice of his body, and one thing that was certain was he would never, ever see again. that suicide bomber did not take our family's fight, and it did not take away service over self. we believe in this country, we believe our service meant something, scotty's service meant something, and we will never, ever stop fighting and standing up for what's right. you know, as a nurse, i took a holistic approach to scotty's well-being, his

state or in that state. have introduced legislation with a couple of colleagues which i hope we will be hearing this week or next week. that allows for the free travel of american citizens among the states for the purposes of obtaining health care in the destination state. is that something you would think is important in michigan? >> i do think it is important, i want to take a step back and remind everybody how devastating that is going to be for those who are low income, particularly women of color or girls who do not have the means to travel. to bring it back to an example in michigan, our attorney general says she will not be enforced the law. but, she has also said she will not compel county level prosecutors to do the same. so, not only is there going to be a difference, depending on what state you are able to travel to. but, down to your zip code, whether or not you can get direct access to care, whether or not you get access to physicians who are trained, who do not feel fear. i want to go back to t

so you have slave states in one color free states in another and then you typically get the western territories in some sort of neutral beige. but what i'm trying to argue here is that there was nothing neutral about the territories of new mexico and utah and what would eventually become arizona and that california really doesn't deserve its free state blue either. in fact, it would be probably more accurate to color the entire southwest in a shade of pink, which is actually what i attempted to do with the cover of the book or to suggest with the cover of the book. now to explain how we get this map here and why it ultimately matters. i'm going to divide the talk into about three roughly equal sections. first i'll explain how slavery infiltrated the american west and the decade before the civil war then we'll move to the winter of 1860 to 1861 to look at how the secession crisis reached far beyond what would become the 11 confederate states? and finally, we're going to spend some time in the civil war itself to sort of see how slave boulders longstanding dreams of western empire morphed into fu

they asked the question about a terrorist state and a state sponsor of terrorism. the difference is not very big , because there is still no definition of a terrorist state in international law. therefore, it uses the concept more as a state sponsor of terrorism on a large scale, e-e, russia not only sponsors, it really engages in terrorist activities, and in fact, it has been for a very long time, starting from the first chechen war, the invasion of the occupation of georgian abkhazia, e-e, in fact, the intervention of the case moldova is the war of transnistria, the 92nd year, er, it was actually a sponsor of terrorism in 2008, when it attacked georgia itself through south ossetia, so er, this list of terrorist actions by russia is very long, you know that right uh, you are asking the question, is there anything stopping the united states of america from recognizing moscow uh and the russian federation as a state that sponsors terrorism as soon as possible, well, if it is recognized at the uh congressional level, then russia will be in line with such states as no

and provider, states like louisiana, another nine or some states in that same boat.are seeing abortion band be caught up in court. we are waiting to see what will happen with them, we are expecting the number of states with bans to increase traumatically. much accuracy and around indiana, special session and why wyoming sugar band going into effect. >> one of those days could be kansas, a fire, there is some confusing and deceptive things happening with this ballot measure in your state. and for one thing is my understanding is that the vote happening and the voter stuff really happening in the primary. you would expect kind of a lower turnout in the general election was a little tricky is that the wording of the amendment on the ballot can be confusing. the voting for the amendment, your voting is actually voting against abortion rights. -- if we're all confused, i have to imagine that voters stayed are confused. is that your understanding? has this been a real problem? >> it has been a real problem and it was done with purpose and detention. they want voters to be

to state. an abortion, a woman's right to control her own body, no longer has blanket constitutional production in america which means that women have rights in china and north korea that they do not have in the united states of america. this map is actually being generous giving america too much credit, the u.s. does not deserve to be striped in green and red depicting a nation that does not make up its mind, the entire country should be painted red because it does not matter if abortion is allowed in some states, if it is prohibited and even just one, that america is not truly a free country. if the rights of one single american are taken away, none of us enjoy absolute freedom as citizens of this country. regardless of how you feel about abortion, americans should be deeply concerned at the ease with which five supreme court justices ripped unconstitutional right right out from under the american people. this supreme court sessions reign of terror came to an end this week after a string of d

of states or states still could or -- and presumably would, continue to freely allow abortion, many states, some states would be able to do that, even if you prevail under your view? >> that's consistent with our view. it's one that allows all interests to have full voice and many of the abortions we see in certain states that i don't think anybody would think would be moving to change their laws in a more restrictive direction. >> thank you. >> thank you, your honor. >> justice barrett? >> i have a question that is a little bit of a follow-up to one that justice breyer was asking you. star decisis and a lot of cole low question has been about the benefits which i don't think anyone disputes and, of course, no one can dispute because it's part of our doctrine, there are some circumstances in which overruling is possible. we have plessy/brown, bowers versus hardwick. but in thinking about starry decisis, the core of this case, how should we be thinking about it? justice breyer pointed out in casey some respects it was a different conception of stare decisis in so far as it explicitly took i

yesterday, said united states secretary of state tony blinkin, look, russia is challenging the existingussia is allowed to do so. we will return to a world where the rule of the strong prevails and big countries can intimidate small ones - this is the opposite of a rules-based order. china, in turn, challenges world order, acting increasingly aggressively in the region and tightening repression at home. i think what china really wants is for an international order to exist but be different while we are trying to defend and maintain an order that is basically liberal in its values. china may strive for a less liberal order that incorporates other values ​​and the question is what order people want to live in, i rely on. well, it seems to me that this statement, firstly, is a confirmation the systemic nature of the conflict in the united states from russia to china is precisely not a regional assistant. secondly, and blinkin accuse russia of exactly the fact that from time immemorial throughout its history certain states have been operating, starting from the american war of 1846 48 up to

, which means that the state as a subject is responsible, that is, the state is obliged to act legally, and this also means the possibility of receiving reparations for the atrocities committed by russia, if vladimir putin is arrested and imprisoned, he personally will not be able to pay reparations to the ukrainian people or the ukrainian state, but the russian federation can with regard to personal responsibility ukraine is now calling on the international community to create a special tribunal on the crime of aggression against ukraine as i understand the final word now married to the people's community must be the political will do you see that at the international level there is a political will to punish vladimir putin now the question i don't know and to be honest i'm trying not to think about it right now partly because while working on the report we are constantly we strive to emphasize the responsibility of the state because in the end it is a matter of political will and political motives crime although the crime of aggression is another extremely interesting way to understa

if the workout like they'd look at a lot of states. what about their states? if you really look at it the maternal brutality rate is the highest in louisiana georgia indiana new jersey arkansas alabama missouri texas south carolina and arizona. we have one blue state out of 10 but when they get a chance to support life of mothers they always vote no. when they hadon a chance to increase the childet tax credit that would reduce poverty in brackets out of poverty they voted no. we comes to the family leave the bono and my comes to expanding the aca they vote no and if you look at the same states that are pulling back on abortion rights and the right to privacy and that's what it's about are the same 12 states roughly that refused to expand medicaid. so for them they claim it's not about life, it's about controlling women lgbtq individuals and it's about controlling individuals that don't look like them and don't agreee with them and don't have the same values as them. that's what this is about an and they say we are using fear to mobilize the public it's a fact.

and in states like colorado, it's actually those procedures that are in place that allow state electiondetermine and confirmed that there was a breach, allow them to identify responsible parties and to allow them to take that potentially corrupted equipment out of service so that future elections will be secure. >> so it sounds like safeguards in place work we. i'm so glad that you, gowri, and harry, we're here today to help people understand how critical it is for people to look at election security issues on the state level. thank you both for being here tonight. i really appreciate it. next, a new message from ukraine's president. what he had to say about a new round of missile attacks from russia. and later, young voters have had it with their much older leaders, why senator joe manchin's latest roadblock is just one part of their frustration. s latest roadblock i s latest roadblock i just one part of their you' frustration. what goes on it. usually. and in it. mostly. here to meet those high standards is the walgreens health and wellness brand. over 2000 high quality products. rigo

to state and cross state lines. it's chaotic and it's something that's causing harm and causes insurmountable challenges for those who try to figure out what's possible. we need to make sure that we have the right to make decisions about what's best for them with their decision, not from politicians and that's exactly what has been opened up with this decision. >> thank you, lt. governor. thank you to all of our witnesses. >> thank you, senator coons. we're voting on the floor and trying to do both things. senator hawley. >> thank you, mr. chairman. thanks to all of the witnesses for being here. i want to visit with you, but clear one thing up, professor bridges, you've use add phrase and referred to people with the capacity for pregnancy. would that be women? >> many women, since women have the capacity for pregnancy, many cis women who are capable of pregnancy, and many trans women. >> we can recognize that it impacts women and recognize other groups, those are not mutually exclusive, senator hawley. >> your view

laws in 37 states and pain capable unborn protection laws in 19 states. i remember when a woman from virginia who formed a group called mothers against minors abortion. she found out about her daughter's abortion when she was hemorrhaging in her bed. she came and testified before the committee and said, please, we need to know. parental notification laws work. sadly these will be nullified by this bill. for decades abortion advocates have gone through extraordinary lengths to ignore, trivialize or cover up the batter baby vick ive. thanks to ultrasound, babies are more visible than before. science informs us that birth an event all be it an important one, only an event in the life of a child. it's a continuum, life is. i ask my colleagues to oppose this bill. the youngest patients need protection. the speaker pro tempore: the gentlewoman reserves. the gentleman from new jersey is recognized. mr. pallone: i yield a minute and a half to the the gentlewoman from new hampshire, ms. kuster, member of our committee. the speaker pro tempore: the gentlewoman is r

states. in fact, this has come up before. the israeli government put through a plan to do this in the 1990's. back in 1999, writing on behalf of of the owners of the property, i wrote [indiscernible] providing the u.s. government with evidence of our ownership, collective ownership of this property. we asked at that time that first of all they not do this and we asked for a meeting, which of course we never got. but we did get a response from the state department many months after our original letter in which they said they understood, they put the information on file. our government knows. and if they don't, they should know. because i wrote them a letter on behalf of the families back in october 1999. in week -- adalah has discovered new information. we said the information in our possession at that time and the plants stopped in at that point, whether because of our intervention or -- i really don't know. nermeen: professor, biden is there. do you expect the question of the u.s. embassy in

both federal and state laws that both preempt and leave it to the states. but i would submit that the captive wildlife safety act which is where we started on this almost 20 years ago, a federal law that said we were going to as a country state that you can no longer import these big cats from their homes, thus decimating their populations where they came from, and encouraging a trade that has led them to the brink of extinction in most cases, we said that that is a federal matter. that's what we're trying to follow. this is only an extension of that particular act. so i think it's a particularly worthwhile area for us to develop federal standards and a lot of doubt among the states -- end a lot of doubt among the states and the federal government and the states collectively and get on with the goal of protecting our people, protecting our animals and protecting our law enforcement with that, i urge adoption of this bill and i yield back. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman yields back. all time for debate has expired. the chair understands that the amen

states. >> he's not the only one angry with the supreme court, as they conclude their most consequential session in years, about far-reaching decisions on religion, the environment, immigration, and of course abortion rights. he is hoping democrats channel their anger and fear into support for his party in the november midterm elections. >> i share the public outrage of this extremist court that's committed to moving america backwards. but ultimately congress is going to have to act to codify roe into federal law. >> we'll assess the impact of these rulings. the court did rule in favor of president biden's plan to scrap a trump-era policy to make asylum seekers wait in mexico, clearing the way for more migrants to enter the u.s. we'll talk with homeland security secretary alejandro mayorkas about how the administration olympians to handle the influx. >>> with rapid-fire local court decisions causing more chaos over where abortion is now illegal, we'll look at the state of maternal health in a

what does he call on all deputies to inform our colleagues from especially unfriendly states?we are waiting for a response from our colleagues. we have interaction groups. and naturally. we have been in contact. let me express my position. stop playing the strauss pose like nothing 's going on, a perfectly obvious situation in guchin. opera. united states of america that such stuffing and provocations would be clear immediately a few days after the start of the special operation, the state duma introduced amendments to the criminal code on responsibility for spreading fakes about the actions of our armed forces. we must do everything possible to ensure that in this situation the information is truthful official people. could be responsible for this information. and if these are rumors, if these are provocations, if this is false information that causes damage to the state during a special military peacekeeping operation, the one who spreads it must understand that the responsibility will be very a serious, frank horse discredits the actions of the armed forces, devaluing them

is a terrorist state according to us law, and therefore we are taking the next steps as stated in the law, then it will attract sanctions and other punishments. but if the congress votes for it but the white house does not sign it , there will be no result, it will be a statement of a moral position, but it will not have legislative force. it is clear in poland on the other hand, another expert with whom merida garing spoke with the atlantic council claims that if the contrast cannot take over the levers of influence of the executive branch of power, it can put pressure on the state department directly, the contrast can create a bill that prescribes specific dates for which the department must recognize russia a state that sponsors terrorism suggests that it deserves a more detailed explanation in the comments of melint haring, an expert of the atlantic council with whom i spoke, if the state department does not do what congress thinks necessary, then congress can press the state department so that the latter begins to act. congress can tell the state department. you have 30-60 or so

from other states. we have released over a million dollars to our providers so we have enough services to make the anticipated influx available. we are pursuing a constitutional amendment in our state to replace this missing right federally. the governor of california and oregon are moving forward. i appreciate the president's embrace we need to eliminate this filibuster that has allowed this rogue supreme court -- by the way, there's a pattern here that's worth noting. this is a supreme court which is trying to get rid of majority democracy in our country. vast majorities of people want common sense gun safety. vast majority of americans want freedom of choice. vast majorities of americans want to address climate change. they are getting in league with this radical minority that because of the court packing that mitch mcconnell did and stole the supreme court seat from america, they are really damaging democracy itself, not just these three issues. i think the administration is going to be a good partn
