hassan: thank you, mr. president. and i want to offer my condolences to dianne's family, to her colleagues from california, to the speaker emeritus, to my colleague, senator padilla, and to so many of our friends and colleagues who are watching today. i wanted to rise just because i'm one of the newer women in the united states senate, and i wanted to acknowledge the difference that dianne feinstein's example and work has made for me, for my constituents, for our daughters and our granddaughters. when i came to the senate, the bipartisan women's dinners were long established. i didn't have to think about how i would get to know my women colleagues and share experiences and learn the ropes from them because dianne feinstein and her other colleagues who were early pioneers in the senate had already done some of that work for tus. i didn't have to think about whether there was going to be a women's bathroom right off the floor, that i could use, just the way the men use their bathroom in quick moments, because dianne fei

mr. president, shut down the border, don't shut down the government. leader mcconnell, your disagreement with speaker mccarthy over the senate bill on the government and should this not have been-- that much resistance on the house side of the bill? >> you know, for over 200 years the senate and the house have been very different. but we're focusing on here in the senate is to try to keep the government open, to try to continue to pay the people who are essential for our security, like air traffic controllers, the border patrol, capitol police because the constitution requires that we continue to be paid during a shutdown, completely unfair to the american people. so look, i don't want to give the speaker any advice about how to run the house, particularly through you, and we are going to concentrate on trying to do our job here in the senate which i think is to pass a bill that keeps the government open and i can't have have an impact what happens in the house. >> what should the senate do-- do you have access to classified information, in the skiff.
