Senate:
Confirmed John Ratcliffe (74 to 25) to lead the CIA. The ramping up of rhetoric against China will play out here. Good job Washington in St Louis women’s soccer team…why do they do these?
House:
Something about Rapid Ohi’a death. It is the most common endemic tree to Hawaii (comprising) 80% of Hawaii’s native forests. Fix our Forests bill was passed some funny things on grazing being used as a fire prevention measure (Sec 117), something about biochar (Title III), Hazard trees within 150′ rather than 10′, and White Oak resilience (Subtitle B). What would actually fix the forests actually funding for and responding to climate change in a serious manner. Even in the middle of this Forests Bill, carbon sequestration gets struck during an amendment. The House also passed the Born Alive Act which mandates that health care providers take all steps to ensure that if during a late term abortion a child is born that the life and health of that child is afforded the same as a child of that same gestational age. I didn’t think that hospitals (or anyone) could just kill a feasible baby intentionally under current laws, but what do I know. The law seems to intentionally add to the risk of a lawsuit for a health care practitioner performing abortions.
