george w. bush administration. that statement says a lot in its effort to say nothing, which is whoever did this was very surgical strike and, by the way, hezbollah and lebanese officials was not directed at you or a wider conflict. yeah. i think this operation, whoever did it, accomplished many things. one, israel made clear one of the objectives is going after the senior hamas leadership. he is among the most senior. he was one of the most senior officials involved with planning october 7th. he has been responsible for many of the terrorist operations against israel over the years. he served in an israeli prison and israel said some time that hamas can t do this on its own, it s in coordinateration with tehran and hezbollah and houthis and proxies around the region. that was one of his responsebilities, staying close to hezbollah and close to iran. getting an official outside of the gaza, you know, war theater of operations and getting one
claudine gay is resigning after a plagiarism scandal and disastrous testimony on capitol hill about anti-semitism on college campuses. gallup polling found that confidence in higher education has been declining in recent years and the divide between republicans and democrats is particularly steep. here to break down the numbers for us is cnn s senior data reporter harry enten. welcome back. welcome. so when we say confidence in higher education, it doesn t sound like we re talking about like the ability to teach or learn. no, i mean, it s basically this exact question, you know, do you have a great or quite a lot of confidence in higher education? i just want to look at this steep decline that we re seeing. back in 2015, 57% of americans had quite or a lot of confidence in higher education, that dropped to 48% in 2018. look where we are now at just 36%. you mentioned the wide partisan gap. take a look here, again, great or quite a lot of confidence in higher education, in 2015
are seeing, however, we cannot give up and give into republicans draconian anti-immigrant policies that reflect some very serious and deep changes to asylum policy that has long been held as a tradition of who we are as american people, tell folks give us your huddled, wary, poor, those are discussions that we can t make in a rush or in a haste. there are some things we can be doing on the ground now that will alleviate the situation at the border. the senate discussions as i understand it do include some talk about asylum reform if that s what the senate agreed to would you vote against it? we have yet to see what s coming out of the senate and that s been part of the frustrating part for us here especially as house democrats. speaking as a member of the congressional hispanic caucus we have raised this alarm. we held a press conference in front of the capitol a few weeks ago asking the administration to engage in productive dialogue with the hispanic members of the u.s. house. we
