that by checking the e-verify records. >> russell in tawton, massachusetts, independent. >> caller: how are you? >> we're good, russell. go ahead. >> caller: the reason why my comment would be this on immigration, even on that status, i firmly believe that the e-verify is a very small part of it, but yet it is in the right direction. i guess if we're going to start something somewhere, it's got to be small, you know, in the same aspect of it, i can tell you that immigration on the highest level has always been part of the political campaign, because it's highly used to be running a presidential campaign. just like as well as health care. motto go off subject. but there will be two issues that will always be around that you realize they are making their majority of their presidential elections, or however, as an independent, i will tell you, this as a native american, i don't see any form of immigration working, if you look at the reality of how we allow people in this country, and as i said, and it doesn't make me better than anybody else, but as native american statuses, of indige

nuclear ties. students and faculty at the massachusetts institute of technology are unhappy about a new computer center named after stephen schwarzman. they want the school to cancel the celebration of the center. the ceo of blackstone group donated $350 million to m.i.t. protesters are criticizing him for his work as advisor to president trump and his hosting of the saudi crown prince. and trade talks between the u.s. and china resumed today, this time in washington. the president described the negotiations last week in beijing as a very productive. bloomberg has learned that there are still key differences between the two sides. the u.s. is threatening to boost tariffs on chinese goods if there is no deal by march 1, but the president has said he is open to pushing back the deadline. time is running out for the but is prime minister to get parliament to support her brexit plan. negotiators from the u.k. and the european union are working on a new legal text for the most contentious part of the deal, the backstop plan for avoiding a hard border between the u.k. and ireland. ides be

so much for being here. i want to start with that lawsuit in massachusetts, which has really uncovered an unbelievable pattern, they have outlined and given us details about how these companies pursued profits at the expense of people who were taking these drug r drugs when they clearly seemed to know what was going on. how does that support what you write about in this book, and what do you think is the real solution to this crisis? >> well, i think the more that we're learning specifically out of this massachusetts lawsuit, we're learning the tactics. we're learning what purdue knew. we're learning the except they were willing to go to lie to the american public, to whitewash what was really going on when they were getting americans hooked on prescription pills. it's really maddening. and particularly for me. i work with parents of loss all the time. there's nothing harder for me in the work that i do than working with a mother or a father who has lost their child to a drug overdose. and to see that purdue -- we learned this last week -- hired mckenzie, the pr firm, to figu

example of massachusetts before. it bears repeating. no one calls massachusetts a low-tax state. but, their economy over the past decade has run laps around us. how? it wasnt a single-minded eliance on tax incentives -- the average massachusetts award is nearly one-eighth of what we had been giving out, $22,000 per job. they did it by investing in ducation and infrastructure, and building connections between higher education and the real economy. in essence, where we should have invested the bulk of our $11 billion. in the upcoming fiscal year, these tax breaks from the past will cost us more than $1 billion. to those who bemoan our nability to pay for even the most basic items in our budget, let me say that this, simply put, is nuts. this is taxpayer money. for the same price as these tax breaks, new jersey could have funded our ublic schools, funded nj transit, met our pension obligations, provided more property tax relief, or all of the above. we could have rebuilt the entire portal bridge, on our own, seven times. we could have built the arc tunnel, or at least financed nearly th

before running for office, like the democrat from massachusetts who was chief of staff for former democratic congressman marty meehan. a scrappyscribed as overachiever, why? i grew up in a working class neighborhood. my dad was an iron worker. mom spent her childhood in an orphanage and in foster care. up ringing.st i went to public school my whole life. i got a scholarship to go to georgetown to play volleyball. that put me on the path i am on today which is why i talk about education all the time. to get through a tough primary race. i don't mind describing. >> you worked two jobs as a teenager, why? >> i was taught to work. there were things that we wanted. i played for a volleyball team that traveled around the country. if i wanted to do that, i had to contribute to it. i was out delivering the local newspaper, which wasn't uncommon. everyone in my neighborhood growing up had some job that they were doing, whether it was thesitting or shoveling or local diner. i worked at the diner in high school. campaigncourse of the -- dino know how much were making at 11? >> it wasn't bad.

investigations act of 2019. introduced by the gentleman from massachusetts, mr. lynch. mr. speaker, i was at one of these hearings where we were talking about this very issue and how it was just mind boggling that we would not use current protocols in terms of looking at national security clearances and the approval thereof. it was mr. lynch's initiative here to address that in a legislative manner and i support his good work there. millions of americans use social media to interact with family members and friends and followers. public posts on social media websites occasionally provide a unique insight into a person's character and interest. several high-profile cases, federal contractors with valid security clearances who leaked classified information had posted highly suspicious entries on their social media accounts. for example, edward snowden used various online aliases to post suspicious content on the comment boards of a tech magazine before he received his security clearance. a simple check, mind you, a simple check would have let us know of this suspicious activity and certa

10 years old and i was going to school in massachusetts, and we learned about her in history class studying the american revolution. samson, and deborah she served in massachusetts company during the american revolution. the commonwealth of massachusetts ended up giving her a pension at the end of the war. and there are other women in the revolution that we know about. >> and in the richmond area? >> yes. >> and molly prichard, although she was not a woman soldier, she was just with her husband. did they give the women the same amount of pension they would give a man? she was the only woman that kind of was recognized, woman soldier, she got $12 a month for her pension. i am assuming that is pretty comparable to what a man would receive, so yes. then the ones that received a pension that were not known like albert would have received the same amount, whatever their disability, the percentage of their disability. >> did you find anything in your research about sailors? >> we have not found anything. >> we would like to, but we have not. not yet. our guests is because of the -- guess
