In 2006 president bush signed the bill on the lawn of the white house with members of congress from both parties there in large numbers. We reaffirm our commitment to build that same type of coalition for the necessary legislative response to the Supreme Courts action. And we reaffirm our commitment o do that today. Hi, im Wade Henderson with the Leadership Conference on civil and human rights.

Schools . Simply put, yes. We believe, from a policy standpoint, the growth in Charter Schools and the potential they offer for being able to offer innovative reforms or good. We think you often have a proliferation of different oversights and models of the state levels that make the subsequent overside more difficult. Our direct interaction is with the state entity and authorizing entity. Our work is with the states of verses with the schools and i think we share concerns that states to need need to do a better job in terms of exercising that oversight. How does the department create more transparency in how Charter Schools use taxpayer funds . Do you look at graduation rates, scores, reading levels and the math . If they are direct reps it recipients of money, they are subject to all the requirements of title 1. The dominant framework is the state framework for governing schools. We work in partnership but we have to defer in cases to where the states have a framework in regard to th
Relief activities. We are proud of and believe we are wisely spending every penny of Hurricane Sandy relief fund has been appropriated. I will give the same amount of time to the Ranking Member. I would tell you when i drove over the nevada line up to lake tahoe a few weeks ago, i saw a brandnew sign that gave credit been put into the stimulants, and others the recovery act being put up two weeks ago, three weeks a day driving through the snow.

Inauguration. So, whats the chance of that . Good question. Well give you the shruggy emoji. Nobody knows whats going to happen next. Right now the blame game is at full pitch. With republicans and senate democrats, you did see the house pass cr, continuing resolution, shortterm bill that would keep all of this from happening. And right now with the cr, its with the senate side where democrats are opposing it, demanding that the issue of young, undocumented immigrants known as d. R. E. A. M. Ers being addressed and their leer, Chuck Schumer, is facing the music. What were calling the schumer shutdown. It still surprises me and ive been through some of these before that the democrats in the senate are opposing a bill that they dont oppose. Theyre for clean crs. Theyre for the extension to the c. H. I. P. Program. Many of them support the delay notice taxes, medical device tax, cadillac tax especially. They dont oppose anything in the bill but they are opposing the bill. How can it be th
Good saturday to you. Im victor blackwell. Im leyla santiago in for christi paul this morning. You know, for the third time this year the government has shut down partially. That is the big story after lawmakers tried and failed to get the votes to pass a spending bill with border wall funding. Midnight came and, well it went. Okay. Heres the question how long the the shutdown last . Thousands of federal workers may now have to wait, many of them continuing to report to work, with no idea when theyll see their next paycheck. The week after he told Democratic Leaders he would be proud to take up the mantle for a border wall shutdown, President Trump says its the democrats fault.

Lets look back on it after a Dramatic Court Appearance from a former National Security ad zipper, Resignation Letter adviser, Resignation Letter from the defense secretary, and worst week wall street in a decade.
