Debt Ceiling: Senate fends off US default approving bill, sending it to Biden

Debt ceiling: House OKs bill to avoid default, sends Biden-McCarthy deal to Senate

WASHINGTON - Veering away from a default crisis, the House approved a debt ceiling and budget cuts package late Wednesday, as President Joe Biden and Speaker Kevin McCarthy assembled a bipartisan coalition of centrist Democrats and Republicans against fierce conservative blowback and progressive dissent.The hard-fought deal pleased few, but lawmakers assessed it was better than the alternative — a devastating economic upheaval if Congress failed to act. Tensions ran high throughout the day as hard-right Republicans refused the deal, while Democrats said "extremist" GOP views were risking a debt default as soon as next week.With the House vote of 314-117, the bill now heads to the Senate with passage expected by week's end.McCarthy insisted his party was working to "give America hope" as he launched into a late evening speech extolling the bill's budget cuts, which he said were needed to curb Washington's "runaway spending."But amid discontent from Republicans who said the spending restrictions did not go far enough, McCarthy said it is only a "first step."Earlier, Biden expressed optimism that the agreement he negotiated with McCarthy to lift the nation's borrowing limit would pass the chamber and avoid an economically disastrous default on America's debts.The president departed Washington for Colorado, where he is scheduled to deliver the commencement address Thursday at the U.S.

Biden, McCarthy reach final deal in debt ceiling talks, look to sell Congress

WASHINGTON (AP) - With days to spare before a potential first-ever government default, President Joe Biden and House Speaker Kevin McCarthy reached final agreement Sunday on a deal to raise the nation's debt ceiling and worked to ensure enough Republican and Democratic votes to pass the measure in the coming week.The Democratic president and Republican speaker spoke with each other Sunday evening as negotiators rushed to draft the bill text so lawmakers can review compromises that neither the hard-right or left flank is likely to support. Instead, the leaders are working to gather backing from the political middle as Congress hurries toward votes before a June 5 deadline to avert a damaging federal default."Good news," Biden declared Sunday evening at the White House.RELATED: What's next on debt ceiling: Congress has little time to approve deal before default deadline"The agreement prevents the worst possible crisis, a default, for the first time in our nation’s history," he said.

DeSantis inspires push to make book bans in Republican-controlled states easier

TALLAHASSEE, Florida - As he vies for the Republican presidential nomination, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis is touting a series of measures he has pushed that have led to an upswing in banned or restricted books — not just in Florida schools but in an increasing number of other conservative states.Florida last year became the first in a wave of red states to enact laws making it easier for parents to challenge books in school libraries they deem to be pornographic, deal improperly with racial issues or in other ways be inappropriate for students.Books ensnared in the Florida regulations include explicit graphic novels about growing up LGBTQ+, a children’s book based on a true story of two male penguins raising a chick in a zoo and "The Bluest Eye," a novel by Nobel laureate Toni Morrison that includes descriptions of child sexual abuse.

Residents in Sea Isle say they are fed up with the issues caused by rowdy teenagers along the Promenade, so starting Monday night, new regulations are in place to hopefully curb some of the beach-town chaos. "Unfortunately, kids are getting out of hand," said one resident. The noise, underage drinking, and the unruly packs of teenagers that flock the shore town are some of the issues that residents say are disrupting people's summer vacations. A citywide curfew prohibits kids under the age of 17 from walking the streets between 10 p.m. and 6 a.m. through the summer, with some exceptions.

Pennsylvania's mail-in voting law gets beaten up on GOP campaign trail

She suggested elections are too "secretive" and promised that if the law comes before the high court "I’m going to be happy to take a look at it."Meanwhile, Patricia McCullough, a judge on the statewide Commonwealth Court, repeatedly highlights her rulings in election-related cases, including voting to throw out the mail-in voting law."Election integrity, that seems to be like the most important issue to the people right now," McCullough told an interviewer on public access television in Erie last month.Both parties will pick a high court nominee to run in November's general election.
