Mandated covid vaccines for all adults. Well show you how its working for them. Plus, how an unranked teenaged qualifier walked into tennis biggest stage and won the tournament without dropping a set. We have that story. Live from cnn center, this Cnn Newsroom with Robyn Curnow. It was a somber day across america as the nation stopped to remember the nearly 3,000 people who lost their lives on 9 11, exactly 20 years ago. [ Bagpipes Playing ] for the families of the victims, the tragedy remains a vivid memory, undimmed by time. The nations collective loss was captured by a young girl as she spoke directly to the uncle she never met and imagined how he might be today. My Uncle Firefighter Michael christopher. Even though i never met you in person, i still miss you a lot. Mom always tells me the crazy, fun things you did. And im sure if you were here, id probably be doing them with you. This is a look at the 9 11 memorial at Ground Zero in New York. Deep fountains bathed in yellow light w
Pr mr. President , i just listened to the majority leader come down to the floor and tell members of the senate that they should close their eyes and box their ears to the current scandal that is engulfing the white house and the trump administration. I heard the majority leader accuse of democrats of quote, politicizing, unquote, president trumps demand that the government of ukraine interfere in the 2020 election. That is a laughable charge and its not going to silence us on this matter of grave importance. First of all, i have no idea what it means to politicize something these days. News flash, we are politicians. We practice politics. Thats our job. I get told very often that im politicizing gun violence when i suggest that maybe we should pass laws in order to change the daily trajectory of violence in this country. And yet, thats the very reason that we are here, to protect the safety of our constituents, protect the sanctity of our democracy. What we are standing up for right n
Government until november 21st. Floor action on that is still at a time to be determined. Now live to the senate floor. The president pro tempore the senate will come to order. The chaplain, dr. Black, will lead the senate in prayer. The chaplain let us pray. Eternal god, give our lawmakers the power to live with purity. Remind them that for each test and temptation, you have provided a way of escape. When they stumble, help them to receive the forgiveness of your abounding grace. May they permit your spirit to control their minds and hearts, continually delivering them from evil. Lord, we cannot live with integrity in our strength alone, so keep us united with you. We pray in your great name. Amen. The president pro tempore please join me in reciting the pledge of allegiance to our flag. I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of america, and to the republic for which it stands, one nation under god, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. Mr. Grassley madam presid
The number of uninsured from 25. 6 million americans to 27. 5 million americans. A difference of 1. 9 million. Just for general reference, i will round that off to say roughly two Million People are uninsured who had insurance in 2018 versus 2017. So thats deeply troubling because that number is up the number of uninsured is up not just generally from 17 to 18 but more broadly is a change in the trend lines where we have been for most of the last decade. So i think its pretty clear that the Trump Administrations sabotage of Health Insurance is indeed working. Its reversing coverage gains that were made in the Affordable Care act in the years after enactment and implementation of the Affordable Care act. Were told as well that the number of uninsured children is up, so more children without insurance from 2017 to 2018. Heres what one one observer from the Kaiser Health news said. His name is phil gaelowicz. And im quoting for the first time in a decade, the number of americans without H
