tlaib: i want to cut through the b.s.s because -- b.s. because i'm from detroit and would like to speak truth to power. the american people are in a constitutional crisis could this billionaire, i don't know how to describe him. to think he can just walk into an agency that i can tell you from any of my families, social security and medicare -- it is literally part of how they survive in our country. it's not just about the private information, it's about the fact that this person, who they -- they did not elect him and he's not held accountable to the community a public, they are living in fear right now. we are in a constitutional crisis. one of the things i continue to talk to our ranking member about and thinking about even the folks that voted for the president and others, if i was to ask the american people, you think elon musk cares about you? do you think he cares about your disabled child that relies on the department of education services? do you think he cares for any of our families right now no matter how hard they work that

tlaib: think about it. one day they say ok, all of these folks are fired and the next day, you can come back. mr. dodaro: that is not a good practice. i think, the good part about it is they recognize it and brought them back right away. you need to take a more deliberate approach. the thing that i have learned, i have been auditing the federal bureaucracy for 50 years and you need to find out, what is the reason why things are the way they are? before you change it. usually there is a good reason but not often, but you need to know the answer to that question before you start making changes. otherwise you have unintended consequences. rep. tlaib: do you know what they did today? i think it is important. you know what they did today? they let go 28 veteran workers, v.a. in detroit, a veterans hospital, 28 employees. i said, what did they do? i ask simple questions. what do they do? you know what they did? most of them were the people that worked in cleaning the surgical equipment. do you know that we had an

tlaib: here we go again. we are voting yet on another bill that promotes racial profiling. that's what's happening. because americans right now that are brown, black, or have anarch sent, are american citizens are carrying passports with them. why? because we are going to allow the targeting of community that is look like my district. to police them, to militarize them. this bill strips the right to due process, we know that. i think many of my colleagues are supporting this know that. this is going to target permanent residents. they are going to separate families instantly without ever allowing anyone to be able to go to trial to get even -- a charge or trial or even conviction. it is absolutely and clearly unconstitutional. everyone in our country has rights and i want my residents to hear me say this again. everyone has rights no matter their status in the united states of america. but this is what they want, right? they want to racial profile. make it law of the land. discrimination, law of the land. that's what they want, again. they want to go back to that kind of mi

tlaib, for five minutes. ms. tlaib: mr. speaker, republicans are ramming through $4.5 frill in tax cuts for billionaires and powerful corporations. look it up. we are not making it up. so my, my, my. when i hear people say that's not what's happening when it's very evident. when are you cutting $880 billion. specifically in a committee that works on medicaid. where do you think it comes from? so for us to be able, for this chamber, to be able to pay for the cuts for the billionaires and powerful corporations, they are literally ripping health care away from millions of our families. nearly 80 million people across the country rely on medicaid. and the children's health insurance program for access to health care. medicaid is a program that provides prenatal care for expectant mothers, vaccination force our children, treatments for chronic conditions. it is a program that ensures that people don't have to choose between paying for their medication and putting food on the table. we all know our health care system is broken. i

tlaib: mr. speaker, i want to share the words of mother in detroit that today said i'm sorry but i tried. she's talking about the fact that she was evicted, mother of five, had no choice but to park her minivan in a parking lot in downtown detroit. one of our coldest nights. she lost two of her children, a 2-year-old and a 9-year-old. they froze to death in the car. we know that last year we saw a record 18% rise in homelessness in our country. nearly 150,000 children are unhoused every night. we know, again, that our country spends trillions of dollars, though, on weapons and war while children freeze to death in our country. it's an estimated that ending homelessness in our country could cost as little as $11 billion. the pentagon spends $12 billion a year on f-35 jets that can't even fly in the rain. our priorities are fundamentally broken. i want to tell ms. williams, we failed you. you should not be apologizing because you tried. we are not trying hard enough here in this institution to pro

debanking the biden administration choke point 2.0 last week democrat lawmakers texas xham al gene, tlaibl bank failures watch this. >> in -- in march 2023, silvergate bank and signature bank, two key crypto firms pardon me two key firms, crypto currency banking industry, failed in part due to involvement with the digital asset sector, for example, between 2024 and 2021 share of silver gait crypto firm to deposits increased from 1% total deposits to a high of more than 98%, failure of these banks demonstrated that concerns into regulator's regarding bank sxouf to cryptocurrency risks were well will founded. >> what actually happened around 2022 investors lost two trillion during what we call crypto winter in a whole host of crypto dainl asset companies, and celsius early 2023 saw silicon valley banks silvergate failed crypto playing a huge role. maria: joining me former chairman silver gait bank, voluntarily like dedicated in 2023 because of regulatory requirements following collapse of ftx we so treasure your time tell us what happened. >> thanks for having me here, pretty simply story,

tlaib: you want to talk about the debt, but congress are in control. why not go to the public process? if you want to make cuts, vote to cut it. why are you having this person do it? are you giving him your power as an elected person representing 750,000 people? you represent the equal number of people i do and i want to chance to vote on this and hear from constituents and have it done in a public process. you want to deal with it, you are in power. you have a trifecta. the white house, the senate and the house. no, you want to do it this way. the cruelty of it, the fact that even american people no matter their political affiliation i'm , telling you right now, feel like they have no control over the decisions being made because members of congress have circumvented and said go ahead and do it for us. even though they know it will impact farmers, veterans, disabled residents, folks living with disability, and so much more of the info structure you -- infrastructure you don't understand support all of our families. you can keep talking about the debt.

tlaib: any day now, president trump is gearing up to shut down the department of education. this is the latest power grab, an assault on our kids. an assault on our teachers, an assault on our families and our district that rely on public education. the department of education is a lifeline for many low-income residents and students. when the president says he wants to abolish it, he's coming after communities like detroit, southfield, dearborn and lavonia. the department's title 1 funding ensures all children, regardless of the zip code they were born in, to access public education, quality education. so here we go. the president is attacking public school students. more than half of our nation's public schools educate low income but also students with special needs. they're going after, again, the different programs that help children living with autism. children, again, having learning disabilities, needing that special care. i know that it's the public education system that takes them in and takes care of them and ensures that they have access to quality education. we al

rashida tlaib from the river to the sea, and you're sanctioned. but you can pass a law in israel from the river to the sea there will be no palestinian state. a slogan that she could not operation lies, by the way. you can do that, mr. prime minister, but you don't want others to say what you are doing. you talk about how the palestinians, more specifically, hamas, is a threat to israel. you, mr. president, and you, mr. prime minister, are not just an ex extensional threat. you are you are and as you speak and as you spoke, making your plans to take over gaza. you ought to have some justice, righteousness and fair play, which seems to be absent from your very souls for you to say these things and then deny others to say that. deny others saying what you are doing. there is no amount of shame that you can show now. i assure you, this will be a stain on your records forever and stain on the state of israel and united states of america that you would go to the podium and do this. and you have done other things, mr. president. i will not go through a

this hour, global shockwaves and stinging rebukes democratic congresswoman rashida tlaib of michigan, saying this president is openly calling for ethnic cleansing while sitting next to a genocidal war criminal. and from republicans, a mixed bag. house speaker mike johnson, hailing trump's bold action, while senator john cornyn of texas has only said, i don't really know what to make of that. we're standing by for more reaction from lawmakers on the hill. let's get right to the white house, though. first with cnn's alayna treene. who is there? you have the very latest on this, but this has caused huge shockwaves across the world. >> it has. and i. >> think the key question was how long, you know, did did donald trump take donald trump to get to this point? the president how many people knew that he was going to say this? from what we saw, it was clear that the president was kind of moving toward this all day, even before prime minister benjamin netanyahu even arrived here at the white house yesterday afternoon. now, as you said, donald trump, when he got up there on that podium behind

you saw, for example, rashida tlaib come out, her sister come out in, you know, against this. but i also want to make sure, you know, the thing is, i'm in washington right now, by the way. i've been here for a few days. i've been talking to folks at the white house, folks across the government, and there seems to be also a little bit the president trump may have pulled a fast one here, because it doesn't seem that that folks were expecting this when steve witkoff went to gaza, and he's one of the first u.s. officials to go there in a very long time. he said it was uninhabitable, which it is uninhabitable, and wanted to see the palestinians there live temporarily, somewhere in dignity while gaza was being rebuilt. and that is what i was, what i was told. and that's what i it seems as though people that was what seemed that that that was the message when trump said that he wanted to, quote, clean out gaza and move palestinians to egypt and jordan, that that's possibly what he meant. and so i'm not it's not very clear that this is that anybody expected him to say this and that th

why did he waste so much time and money trying to unseat michigan democratic congresswoman rashida tlaibrom sellers proudly posing for a photo at the right wing aipac conference with the people who would go on to become two of donald trump's biggest financial backers, sheldon and miriam adelson. the caption reads reminder. just an example of how israel can bring parties together. but it wasn't just sellers. ana navarro, co-host of the view and another cnn commentator, used trump's deadly proposal not to express empathy or solidarity with the palestinians, but to scold student protesters, saying i'm looking forward to all the protests on college campuses tomorrow against trump. you know, like there was against harris. now this is, again, especially rich coming from navarro. despite spending most of her career as a republican political strategist, she didn't just get to speak at the democratic national convention. she hosted the second night, the very same democratic convention that infamously refused to allow a palestinian democrat, a democrat, to give a two minute dnc vetted speech endor

so if they suck, we'll send joe machi to rashida tlaib's kissing booth. oh, so today's valentine's day, which means in new york city, that after every stabbing, you receive a russell stover sampler. according to a new poll, joe biden is the least popular living president. his supporters, his supporters dispute that, saying he's dead. meanwhile, a former democrat donor claims joe biden was put on drugs before campaign events. well, that explains the erection. off the coast of chile. a kayaker was caught on camera being swallowed by a humpback whale, prompting joy behar to say i was nowhere near chile. chile. there's a rumor that kanye west and bianca censori are headed for divorce. kanye better not blame this on the jews, or it's going to be hard to find a good lawyer. i don't know. i don't get it. the it was funny. the lapd brass are providing instructions for illegal immigrants on how to evade ice. advice includes blending in by not watching soccer. that's where you can find illegals. just follow the shouting. the university of michigan is apparently cha

tlaib: i know that black history month is a time to celebrate and recommit to the fight for justice and black liberation in michigan's 12th district and beyond. i am proud that i was raised, born and raised in the most beautiful blackest city in the country, the city of detroit, where movements are born, where history is made every single day. time and time again we see efforts to erase our history. systemic racism continues to be codified until our laws -- into our laws and into our budgets. i know the current administration is now attempting to dismantle foundational civil rights protections, diversity, equity and inclusion, and roll back our hard-won progress here in our country. no matter how much they want to whitewash it, they cannot erase black history. black history is american history. there would be no united states of america without the contributions of our black neighbors. black lives matter and black history matters. with that, i yield. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from texas -- for what purpose does the gentleman from texas seek recognition? >> i seek unanimous

tlaib: i want to honor the life and legacy of my dear friend, renee lickman, a holocaust survivor, and activist in our community who deeply was committed to justice in southeastern michigan and around the world. he was my adopted uncle. renee passed away at 87 years old, dedicated his life to teaching others about the holocaust, ensuring that stories of survivors would never be forgotten. he worked so hard to live by the mission of never again to anyone. through his art, film and photography, he captured the resill yenls of the human spirit -- resilience of the human spirit and through his activism he fought for social justice and an end to human suffering. at 63 he got his p had, d in -- ph.d. and spent two decades working in a hospital in our community. even at the end of his life, renee was painting, organizing with jewish forces for peace in detroit and standing up for palestinian human rights. his impact and legacy will live through his work and the countless lives he touched. may his memory and work live forever. i will miss you, renee. i love you. the speaker pro tempore: thank
