myself, amy klobuchar, lindsey graham, susan collins, multiple of us to say, how do we stabilize our election system? elections are run by states and should be run by states. there's no reason to federalize elections, but the federal government should walk along side states and say simple things, we're going to have quick communication between the state and federal government, so if a foreign entity messes with your system, we can quickly let you know about it and help you in the process of helping your state. the last time it happened in 2016, it was months before the department of homeland security was able to actually engage with those states and let them know it was a foreign actor and help them with their security. we've got to be faster on that. we want to streamline that communication. we want to encourage states when they buy election equipment that they can audit their election on the day of the election. now, the federal government should not pick their equipment. those states should because it's a state responsibility, but we should incentivize them to lean in and make sur

susan collins was impressed with how smart she was and how informed she was.t also talks about tensions between her, her husband, and john kelly. said one of the first things kelly said was you are family, part of the reason the president is here. he understands the role of family and does not want to get in the way of that, but he also needs to make sure that in our role as advisors, we go through the process and respect that. ivanka has reached out to lawmakers from both parties, visiting them in their offices and hosting private salons at her home. say she has been more diligent about coordinating with the white house office of legislative affairs and other teams. that is in "the washington trump. sam, ivanka fairfax, virginia, our line for others. if i ami do not know calling in [indiscernible] i don't understand that. gun is not like riding a bicycle. take a training class and expect to be profession --proficient at it. it takes a long time to be proficient firing a handgun or a rifle. , theren, on top of that is really no way to prepare for the threat of

caitlin collins for us at the white house. susan, as we head into this week, the leaders of the world right now are suggesting we could be on the precipice of a trade war. jean claude wonker is warning it's serious. now we will also impose import tariffs. this is basically a stupid process, the fact we have to do this we will now impose tariffs on motorcycles, bourbon, blue jeans. we can also do stupid. essentially the european commission, the great ally of the united states says, if you want to do this go ahead and do it but we'll bring it too. >> this is historically what is happened when the united states is imposed tariffs in the past including in the bush administration there is retaliation from other countries and historically has not been helpful to the american economy. you saw the stock market take a dive last week when the tariffs were unexpectedly announced by the president. that's one of the things that's fueled hope among some that the president won't go ahead and impose these tariffs at least not in the very broad way

every democrat has signed on but only one republican, susan collins. i'd say to the other 50 republicans who are in this chamber, whose side are you on? whose side are you on? the big cable providers or the average consumer who depends on the internet? this vote will determine that. i urge all americans, particularly our younger people, to contact their senators and demand they sign up to save the internet. and one final point, mr. president, president trump can retain his pop laws but what he has been doing and our republican colleagues have been doing over and over again, whether it's what they tried to do on health care, whether it's the tax bill, whether it's net neutrality or anything else, they want to help the wealthiest and the most powerful. they're the ones who back them and fund their campaigns. that's wropg. that's not -- wrong. that's not what americans want. and the only good i see out of this and americans are rrmsing this, only 70% people believe donald trump faces the wealthy over the middle class despite how he campaigns and despite h
