I think senator grassley comes, hell certainly be allowed to do so. The title of this hearing is extremist content and russian disinformation online, working with tech to find solutions. Thats exactly what we want to do. Were here to try to find solutions. Let me describe, i think, the challenge. I doubt if i would be here if it werent for social media, to be honest with you, President Trump told fox news on october 20, 2017. So this is the president of the United States saying that from his point of view, social media was an invaluable tool to help him win an election. I would dare say that every politician up here today asking you questions uses your service and we find it invaluable to communicate with our constituents and get our message out. Not only do we use it, not only does the president us
A huge socialist turnout worldwide. The may day march for labor and immigration rights. This is the socialist partys International Labor day. Welcome to risk and reward im Liz Macdonald in for deirdre bolton. Just as President Trump wraps up his first 100 days this coming monday, protests are planned to turn out in the hundreds of thousands in some of the nations largest cities from the country from l. A. To new york. Some even threatening to shut down highways and even airports. And like seattle some employers are allowing to take a paid day off in order to protest.

You know, treated very well at penn presbyterian. Reporter 57yearold councilman underwent surgery overnight but he bounced back quickly and asked to go home. He spoke about the terrifying encounter with a knife weeding suspect. The neck thing i know hes there next to me with an urgent look on his face. Reporter councilman eh realized immediately something was very wrong. Then he punched me in the lower rib which i i happen to know what that is. So i said, did you just stab me and he had. I looked down and he had a seive. More than a knife, twenty two a seive. He said, keys, car, wallet, cash, everything. He said i want everything. At one point in time he lunched at my, you know, face and i had to put my hand up and i got cut across the the forearm. Reporter in the middle of the attack councilman oh revealed several men in a white car pulled up thinking it was the suspect who was in trouble.

Times and chicago tribune. Thank you for joining us. We have had a break because of sin under mccains Health Condition because of senator mccains Health Condition. Now talk about passing a bill in the senate on health care. Guest this can be seen in two ways, pro and con, on the outcome of the healthcare bill. On the one hand, i think people will say, well, this buys a little time, helps leader mcconnell shore up the vote. There are 10 republican senators on the fence on this issue. More thany lose no two, and we already have two opponents. With sin in their mccain with senator mccain being out this week for that surgery, it does allow leader mcconnell a little more time to do the behind the scenes negotiations. On the flip side, we know this bill is deeply unpopular. The opponents are coming out in full force. There is a very viable theory that the longer that this stays on the line, you know, it is just not going to do well and will fail to get the support it needs. We will see. Host
