The funds reinstate the evictions to prevent even bigger housing crisis . Mr. Speaker. The senate is grappling back into session and we continue to watch for ministers just need time at cspan. Org. Now live to the senate floor here on cspan2. Mr. Lankford mr. President. I have three requests for committees to meet during todays session of the senate. They have the approval of the majority and minority leaders. The presiding officer duly noted. Mr. Lankford mr. President , we are once again in a conversation about freedom of religion and the free exercise of religion and what that means. There is simply i would argue that it means the ability to have any faith, to have no faith at all, change your faith, and to be able to live it out. The ability to have a faith as a part of who we are. Its our most precious possession within us. Its not that. If its something less than that, the free exercise of religion has limitations on it, then its simply the freedom to worship or to have a name fa

Yesterday and that is definitely a nice little shift look at this lightning up his first colors go on the map which is a very noticeable difference that deep deep red now right there clumped up on the eastern end of the Central Valley were worst of air quality of settle down ahead of the Sierra Nevada foothills deep here across the bay area indicating poor conditions which weve become familiar with for nearly 30 days to spare the air alerts now and then conditions up in portions of the north bay for the first time in multiple days, so these are some positive changes working your way in a good direction and will continue to slowly do that for out the rest of the week eventually setting us up for a better weekend air quality wise.

Census, no president has ever tried to manipulate the census count in this way. In fact, just two years ago, the Census Bureau reaffirmed its commitment to do the exact opposite of what the president is now trying to do. The bureau committed to counting every person, regardless of citizenship or legal status, under the rules of congress set in the census act of 1790.

This will hurt communities that are already undercounted, underrepresented, and underfunded. Addressing the chaos caused by the president s memo will drain valuable resources from the Ce

Robert now, you know people all think they know what the census is and we know that its kind of the population count, but give us sort of an overview in terms of what the census is so people understand what were talking about. Tim robert, thank you for having us. So the census, we conduct it once every 10 years. We started it in 1790 at the very founding of the country. Its in the us constitution. And the reason we do the census is to make sure that the us house of representatives fairly represents each state based on their population. So today when we conduct the census, whats critical is that every per
