Senators issued satellite phones, offered demonstrations on upgraded security devices

Amid growing concerns of security risks to members of Congress, over 50 senators have been issued satellite phones for emergency communication, people familiar with the measures told CBS News. The devices are part of a series of new security measures being offered to senators by the Senate Sergeant at Arms, who took over shortly after the assault on the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.
The satellite phone technology has been offered to all 100 senators. CBS News has learned at least 50 have accepted the phones, which Senate administrative staff recommend senators keep in close proximity during their travels.
In testimony before the Senate Appropriations Committee last month, Senate Sergeant at Arms Karen Gibson said satellite communication is being deployed "to ensure a redundant and secure means of communication during a disruptive event."
Gibson said the phones are a security backstop in the case of an emergency that "takes out communications" in part of America. Federal funding will pay for the satellite airtime needed to utilize the phone devices.
A Department of Homeland Security advisory said satellite phones are a tool for responding to and coordinating government services in the case of a "man-made" or natural disaster that wipes out communication.
Gibson has also opened an office "demonstration space" in the basement of the Russell Senate Office Building to offer senators and staff an exhibition of new home state office security upgrades. The demonstration room offers exhibitions of "duress buttons," mail screening devices and safety glass to reduce the risk of attacks.

In her testimony before the Senate panel in April, Gibson reported, "Our team provided initial physical security enhancements for 31 offices and improved existing security for 52 others in 2022. Maintaining security systems in good working order is a priority, and to support this effort our team conducted over 622 service calls to maintain, repair, and or test and inspect state office physical security systems in 2022."
Senate administrators have also offered "stop the bleed" training to better equip staffers to respond to medical emergencies and victims of attacks.
In April, the House Sergeant at Arms William McFarland told legislators there is "robust participation" in a program to help House members secure their home residences. McFarland said that House administrators are coordinating with local police departments to help protect members of Congress who hold events in their home states and to help better secure the homes of members.
A spending bill passed in late 2022 provided additional funds for hometown security measures for Congress. The legislation required security administrators to "enhance member protection including providing a security program for Congressional Leadership, expanding Dignitary Protection Division services and expanding USCP field office presence," which would deploy and broaden Capitol Police protection in cities outside of Washington.
Though the U.S. Capitol complex is shielded by a force of nearly 2,000 Capitol police employees, there have been growing concerns about hometown security for members of Congress. A California man was charged in a 2022 attack at the San Francisco home of then-House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. The assailant was allegedly targeting Nancy Pelosi when he confronted and attacked Pelosi's husband Paul with a hammer.
In a May 15 attack at the Fairfax, Virginia, office of Rep. Gerry Connolly, one of Connolly's constituents is accused of attacking two of the congressman's staffers with a metal baseball bat. Both were briefly hospitalized and are recovering.

Federal Government Issuing Satellite Phones to Congress – Sponsored Post
By Greg Hunter On May 25, 2023 In Market Analysis 18 Comments
It’s been reported this week (5/22/23) that satellite phones are being issued to members of Congress as a backup to the cell phone network. CBS News reports, “. . . all 100 senators were offered the phones last month, and more than 50 accepted . . .” USAWatchdog.com sources have independently confirmed this story. Gateway Pundit reports, “The official line of reasoning behind offering the satellite phones was “to ensure a redundant and secure means of communication during a disruptive event.” What “disruptive event” has not been identified, but the fact that sat phones have been issued should give the public the idea they might want to have some communication backup too. The Satellite Phone Store can do this and cut you a deal on a free phone.
Because of the new offers from the Satellite Phone Store, you can have that critical backup plan for communication with a free phone to boot at the end of your contract.
You get a choice between the “Iridium 9555” and the “IsatPhone 2.” Both satellite phones come with 100 minutes per month and free activation ($50 value) if you use the promo code USAW.
The “Iridium 9555” has a 24-month contract at $99.95 per month, and at the end of the contract, the phone is yours free. The “IsatPhone 2” is a 12-month contract for $89.95 per month, and at the end of the contract, the sat-phone is also free for you to keep.

US Senators Are Being Issued Satellite Phones in Preparation for a 'Disruptive Event'
By Johnathan Jones May 22, 2023 at 7:08am
Members of the U.S. Senate were recently offered satellite phones that will allow them to communicate in the case of a “man-made” or natural disaster, according to a report.
Citing numerous people familiar with the matter, CBS News reported all 100 senators were recently offered the phones.
More than 50 took Senate Sergeant at Arms Karen Gibson up on the offer.
The network reported Gibson said the phones were offered last month as a means “to ensure a redundant and secure means of communication during a disruptive event.”
Gibson reportedly demonstrated the phones.
Senators who agreed to take the devices were urged to keep them close by during travel.
It is not known exactly what type of satellite phones the lawmakers were given.
It was also not reported which lawmakers accepted the phones. Each device was paid for with federal funding, and service will be offered at no expense to those who are in possession of them.
CBS News reported the availability of the technology was one part of a broader effort to bolster security for members of Congress following the January 2021 incursion at the U.S. Capitol.
However, Gibson implied the devices could come in handy in the event of some sort of disaster.
CBS reported: “Gibson said the phones are a security backstop in the case of an emergency that ‘takes out communications’ in part of America. Federal funding will pay for the satellite airtime needed to utilize the phone devices.
“A Department of Homeland Security advisory said satellite phones are a tool for responding to and coordinating government services in the case of a ‘man-made’ or natural disaster that wipes out communication.”
It is unclear if Gibson or others in top leadership positions within the federal government have reason to anticipate such an event.
Gibson has been in her role since March 2021 and spent more than three decades in the U.S. military prior to that.
Her appointment was announced by Democratic Sen. Charles Schumer of New York in March 2021.

Ron DeSanctimonious just stated, without correction on Fox & Friends, that I was “backing” Disney. Wrong! Fox should have read my posted TRUTH on Disney, but that’s not the game they play. Also, in the polls, I am beating Biden by a lot, “Rob” isn’t! Also, WAY UP ON RON. Check out the DeSanctus speech at the Trump Rally I gave to get him elected. Not easy! p.s. I got 1.2 Million more votes in Florida than Ron, a little reported fact!

Disney has become a Woke and Disgusting shadow of its former self, with people actually hating it. Must go back to what it once was, or the “market” will do irreparable damage. This all happened during the Governorship of “Rob” DeSanctimonious. Instead of complaining now, for publicity reasons only, he should have stopped it long ago. Would have been easy to do - Still is!

Russia issues warrant for Lindsey Graham's ARREST after Ukraine released edited video of him saying 'the Russians are dying' and US military assistance is the 'best money we've ever spent'
Russia condemned Graham for telling Ukrainian President Zelensky the best money Washington had ever spent was because 'Russians are dying'
However, it appears that Graham's comments were misrepresented in a longer version of the meeting
Graham fired back in a statement Monday, saying he would wear the arrest warrant as a 'badge of honor'
Russia's Interior Ministry issued an arrest warrant Monday for Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham following his recent comments on Russia's war of aggression against Ukraine following a visit to Kyiv last week.
At a meeting with Ukraine's Volodymyr Zelensky during a visit to Kyiv Friday, Graham said 'the Russians are dying,' with a smile in a short video summary of the visit released by Zelensky's office.
'It's the best money we've ever spent,' the senator continued in the clip released Friday by the Ukrainians.
His comments sparked outrage from the head of Russia's state-controlled broadcaster RT and other Russian officials - who called for the South Carolina senator to be assassinated.
However, it appears that Graham's comments may have been taken out of context after a longer version of the video was made public by Zelensky's office. But regardless of the video editing fiasco, Russia moved forward with issuing an arrest warrant Monday for the GOP senator.

'In his beloved America, not only ordinary people are regularly killed, but dirty money is also being spent on killing senators. He should recall the sad fate of Robert Kennedy, Huey Long, Clementa Carlos Pinckney, John Milton Elliott, Wayne Owens and other American politicians,' Medvedev said reeling off a list of assassinated politicians.
Russian TV host Vladimir Solovyov also voiced an angry response.
'Your dirty American money also fully supported the Nazi regime in Germany! You are a Nazi beast and you're following in the footsteps of your predecessors. I'll repeat it once again: you will croak, but the Russian people will live forever!'
Ukrainian presidential adviser, Mykhailo Podolyak, said in Twitter comments that the best investment the United States and the West could make was 'in a complete and unconditional victory of Ukraine'.

Multiple Republicans say they will vote against 'turd sandwich' debt ceiling deal, declaring it 'an insult to the American people'
President Joe Biden finalized a budget agreement with House Speaker Kevin McCarthy to suspend the $31.4 trillion debt ceiling until January 1, 2025
The pair said the deal, which comes after weeks of heated negotiations between Biden and House Republicans, was ready to move to Congress for a vote
Many Republican lawmakers have announced they will vote against the Fiscal Responsibility Act, after President Joe Biden and House Speaker Kevin McCarthy reached a final agreement on the deal on Sunday with just days to spare before a potential first-ever government default.
Rep. Matt Rosendale, a Republican from Montana, confirmed in a statement that he would be voting against what he dubbed as the 'Fiscal Irresponsibility Act' as he said it failed to rein in federal spending.
He also said lawmakers who are intending to vote for the bill are insulting the American people by voting to add '$4 trillion to the existing $31 trillion national debt'.
Elsewhere within his party, Rep. Chip Roy from Texas called the agreement a 'turd-sandwich' and said he had spoken to a number of his colleagues who were not intending to vote on the agreement.
Rep. Ralph Norman, a member of the conservative House Freedom Caucus from South Carolina, called the deal 'insanity' and said he was 'not gonna vote to bankrupt our country'.
The deal would see the nation's debt ceiling limit raised for two years, after Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen said the U.S. government would run out of money to pay its bills by June 5.

Very interesting. Elon's uncle Scott Haldeman is a Neurologist in California.
https://truthsocial.com/@GrandmasStove/posts/110452487392737107
Dr. Scott Haldeman is a board certified Neurologist in active clinical practice in Santa Ana, California. He currently is a distinguished Professor at the University of California, the Chairman of the Research Council for the World Federation of Chiropractic and the Founder/President of World Spine Care.
Accomplished in his own right, he also happens to be the uncle of one of the worlds great innovators, Elon Musk. Read how the young Musk spent time on the Haldeman family farm in Saskatchewan. Both Scott’s father and his grandmother (Musk’s great-grandmother) were chiropractors. In fact, Almeda Haldeman became Canada’s first known chiropractor in the early 1900’s.

Before Elon Musk was thinking about Mars and electric cars, he was doing chores on a Saskatchewan farm
His family’s roots in the province are deep. It’s enough to make one wonder if Elon Musk's family has a genetic predisposition for ambition
