Its been so nice. Reporter sweat factor, do we have that . I think it is the level of the amount of deodorant you wear. Reporter eva will be happy. Its going to be hot and muggy this weekend. Theres the view of the ben franklin bridge. We have a thick overcast, but the clouds will give way to sunshine this afternoon. And the temperatures start to soar. Were sitting at 75. Allentown, 72. Trenton, 72. Poconos 65. Millville, 74. All the numbers are where they should fob this time. Year but when you factor in the humidity it feels lousy out there. It will be the trend over the next several days. A cluster of showers and thunderstorms pushing through central pennsylvania. Numerous cloud to ground lightning strikes being reported out here. The good news there is stable air over the delaware valley. As that marches east it will fizzle out. Otherwise its a combination of sun and clouds throughout the day. Temperatures skyrocketing. Afternoon thunderstorms possible after 5 00 a. M. 6 00 p. M. ,
Would show that companies dont always use the asset when theyre repatriated to invest in manufacturing, jobs, things you gees are talking about they Share Buybacks and financial engineering. How do you guarantee that wont happen this time so, look, we heard that numerous times if thats our worstcase scenario that companies repatriate their money and use it for share pbuybacks and dividends, what happens . They buy back shares, issue dividends, pay the repatriation tax, we get another 20 tax on Capital Gains or dividends and the people who get that money back do what they reinvest it back in the economy in new investment and new capital. Were putting very enticing rules into the system that will entice people to invest capital for the next five years. Were giving people a fiveyear writeoff that they can instantly expense. So, look, if that happens, thats fine, we know that money will get invested right back into the economy and drive jobs, drive economic growth, drive wages and drive pr
Revelations come just after students seemed united in supporting daca. Were in an environment now where, you know, people feel emboldened to say racist things and i trust the district will look into this and to hold people responsible. Reporter district officials wouldnt confirm whether any students had been suspended or disciplined. But the word on campus is there have been suspensions. One student says he knows the person who started the racist account. I think he was just joking. I think i mean, a lot of people do that. They post edgy memes on the internet. It wasnt a joke. The school says it will support students who have been hurt by the account and that the sad reality is that even in progressive berkeley, racism exists. Rob roth in the newsroom. Rob, thank you. Now to the south bay where a man although was hit by a vta train was rushed to the hospital this afternoon the accident happened just before 1 00 this afternoon at mckee road and north capitol avenue in san jose.

The presiding officer the senator from rhode island. Mr. Whitehouse mr. President , i ask unanimous consent that any pending quorum call be vitiated. The presiding officer without objection. Mr. Whitehouse thank you, mr. President. Its nice to see the distinguished senator in the chair presiding. Im not sure in my 183 time to wake up speeches ive had yet had the pleasure of speaking while the presiding officer was presiding. I am here to wake up to the corporate capture of congress and this administration, the capture of governance by the fossil fuel industry that keeps us from honestly addressing Climate Change. There is a saying that personnel is policy personnel is policies. Well, well, the trump personnel for positions at the Environmental Protection agency reflect a policy to undo the Public Welfare mission of the agency and align it with the special interests of the fossil fuel industry. There is a word for that. It is called corruption, at least as the Founding Fathers knew the
Nomination of tom price to be the secretary of the department of health and Human Services. You know, the decisions made at h. H. S. Touch the lives of every family in america. The secretary who runs this agency makes decisions about everything from the safety of the food we eat to the drugs we take to the Health Insurance we buy and the quality of the Nursing Homes that we live in. This is an extremely important job, and we should not hand over the keys to this agency unless we are certain that the person will put the American People first every minute of every day. President trump has nominated congressman tom price to serve in this job. Unlike many of the president s other nominees who are stunningly inexperienced in areas whether they will be where they will be setting policy, congressman price has a lot of experience in health care policy. Yes, he has experience, but it is the kind of experience that should horrify you if you care about medicare, if you care about medicaid, or if
