Chapter 2: Why is Rep. Al Green facing censure?
Now, therefore, be it resolved that Representative Al Green be censured, Representative Al Green forthwith present himself in the well of the House of Representatives for the pronouncement of censure, and... Representative Al Green be censured with the public reading of this resolution by the Speaker.
The measure is expected to be taken up within days. Fox News Digital reporting Texas Congressman Troy Nels has his own resolution co-signed by about 30 House Republicans, and still a third will be filed by the House Freedom Caucus. Immediately following his removal from the chamber, Mr. Green telling reporters he's prepared for any consequences.
I'm willing to suffer whatever punishment is available to me. I didn't say to anyone, don't punish me. I've said I'll accept the punishment, but it's worth it to let people know that there are some of us who are going to stand up against this president's desire to cut Medicaid, Medicare, and Social Security.
Democrat disrespect hitting its peak in a moment where President Trump honored a 13-year-old boy with brain cancer. As Republican members delivered a standing ovation for DJ Daniel, Democrats remained seated. The partisan reaction continuing on MSNBC after the fact with this incredible comment from Nicole Wallace.
And I hope he lives the life he wants to live. And I hope he has a long life as a law enforcement officer. But I hope he never has to defend the United States Capitol against Donald Trump supporters. And if he does, I hope he isn't one of the six who loses his life to suicide.
Senator John Fetterman, who was in attendance, posting to X, quote, A sad cavalcade of self-owns and unhinged petulance. We are becoming the metaphorical car alarms that nobody pays attention to. And it may not be a winning message. A CBS News YouGov poll surveying speech watchers showing high marks for the president. 76% overall approved of the speech. 74% saying it was presidential.
68% reporting it made them feel hopeful and proud. And 63% saying Mr. Trump focused on issues they care about. Vice President J.D. Vance, Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, and Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard touring the southern border in Eagle Pass, Texas. Border officials escorting the delegation on an aerial tour, providing updates to enforcement efforts.
In a briefing, the vice president making some news with this comment.
I think the president's hope is that by the end of the term, we build the entire border wall. And of course, that's the physical structure of the border wall itself. But we even heard today there are so many good technological tools. We're using artificial intelligence to make us better at the job of border enforcement.

Chapter 3: What is Vice President Vance's plan for the border wall?
Dr. Francis Collins, who used to run the NIH, referred to the Barrington Declaration as the work of, quote, fringe epidemiologists. After Elon Musk bought Twitter, he revealed that the administration under Joe Biden pressured the social media company to suppress Dr. Bhattacharya's posts, the doctor sharing with the committee his view on the role of scientists in public debate.
The proper role of scientists in a pandemic is to answer basic questions that policymakers have about what the right policy should be. Our role isn't to make decisions to say you shouldn't be saying goodbye to your grandfather as he's dying in a hospital. It shouldn't be to say you can't have a funeral because it's too dangerous.
The scientists say here's what the risks are, and then you decide whether you take it.
Dr. Bhattacharya facing a question from Louisiana Senator Bill Cassidy, who is also a doctor, on the value of revisiting what Senator Cassidy considers a thoroughly examined issue, the link between vaccines and autism.
Just because somebody is upset about something, do we have the opportunity cost of devoting resources at something which has already been done? pretty well examined.
Yes, you're absolutely right, Senator. We don't need to address every idea or concern. But if those concerns result in parents not wanting to vaccinate their children for a vaccine that is well tested, my sense is that my inclination is to give people good data.
Despite some controversial topics, the hearing overall remained well-mannered. The most contentious issue? Caps on indirect funding. Now, that refers to the overhead costs of medical research. The Wall Street Journal reporting these costs can range from 15 percent to 90 percent of a total grant. In early February, the Trump administration moved to cap
indirect costs at 15%, a move quickly challenged in court. Last night, a federal judge extending the block on imposing caps as the case winds through the courts. These caps would result in massive funding cuts to universities, Republican and Democrat senators pressing Dr. Bhattacharya on the issue.
Trump administration announced an illegal plan to cap indirect cost rates at 15%. That amounts to a massive funding cut for research institutions, large and small, red and blue states, everyone.
