This section of the plan addresses transportation and electricity generation, and it contains $60 billion in funding for the expansion of renewable energy infrastructure in manufacturing, such as solar panels and wind turbines. It also offers a number of tax breaks for people, such as those for electric vehicles and making dwellings more energy efficient.

It puts us within a close enough distance that further executive action, state and local government efforts and private sector leadership could plausibly get us across the finish line by 2030, Jesse Jenkins of Princeton University, who directs the REPEAT Project, which examines the impact of government climate policies, agreed. Prescription medicine cost reduction,In terms of health reform, the plan focuses on making prescription pharmaceuticals more cheap — but with some caveats. The law contains a historic provision that empowers the federal health secretary to negotiate the prices of select pricey pharmaceuticals for Medicare each year. However, this will not affect every prescription drug or every patient, and it will not take effect immediately. The discussions will go into effect for 10 Medicare medications in 2026, expanding to 20 drugs in 2029. Also read: Joe Biden signs anti-fraud pandemic bills while still in isolation,The portion of the bill that attempted to cap the price of insulin at $35 per month — a drug that is extremely expensive in the United States in comparison to other countries — was reigned out of order by the Senate parliamentarian, who ruled that the cap could apply on Medicare, a government programme, but not on private insurance. As a result, Democrats split the bill between Medicare and private insurance, but Republicans ultimately defeated the private insurance bill. The parliamentarian also determined that a provision in the plan requiring drug firms to offer rebates if prescription prices beat inflation violated budget reconciliation rules; she stated that it may apply to Medicare patients but not to those with private coverage. The bill, which goes into effect in 2025, caps out-of-pocket prescription drug expenditures for Medicare recipients at $2,000 per year. The Affordable Care Act also includes a three-year extension of healthcare subsidies, which were originally included in a pandemic relief bill last year and are estimated by the government to have kept premium rates at $10 per month or less for the vast majority of people covered through the health insurance subsidies exchange.

Taxation reform,The legislation imposes a 15% minimum tax on firms with annual revenues of $1 billion or more, raising more than $300 billion in revenue. However, one provision that was deleted was one that tightened the carried interest tax loophole. Arizona Senator Kyrsten Sinema promised to sign the package if this provision, which would have changed how private equity income is taxed, was removed. Democrats estimated that it would have generated $14 billion in income. Instead, a 1% excise tax on stock buybacks was imposed, which may generate about five times the income as the carried interest legislation. However, it would not go into effect until next year, heightening expectations of a surge of buybacks by some corporations before 2023.

Joe Manchin. Manchin stated last year that the expense of extending the credit was prohibitively expensive, but progressives, particularly Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders, have continued to advocate for its inclusion in the package. Sanders intended to include it as an amendment to the measure during the all-night voting session, despite the fact that he lacks the necessary votes to pass it.","portalUser":{"id":"kQKU5wG2FUA","name":"Opoyi Central","username":"opoyicentral","photo":"https://ik.imagekit.io/o8plo3y5if/opoyi_6k77dlSYd.jpg","role":2,"userType":1},"opinions":[],"liveblogStatus":true,"lastReply":null,"replyUser":null,"userMentions":[],"lastCommentMentions":null,"lastReplyMentions":null,"checkIn":{"latitude":"38.9072","longitude":"-77.0369","name":"Washington D.C., DC, USA","city":"Washington"},"keywords":"Democrats,Medicare,Senate,the Inflation Reduction Act,Republicans,Biden,Republican,Kamala Harris,Chuck Schumer,D-N.Y.,Congressional Budget Office,the White House,Congress,House,US","originalPublishedOn":"2022-08-08T06:12:26+05:30"}},{"node":{"id":"PK5N9LHidnDZ","slug":"english/what-is-vote-a-rama","slugV2":"usa/what-is-vote-a-rama-720698/","title":"What is vote-a-rama?","postType":1,"coverMedia":"/opoyi_9vI_3guiz.jpg","coverCaption":"US Senate Democrats pushed their energy and health-care measure.

The lower drug prices for seniors are paid for with savings from Medicare's negotiations with the drug companies. WHAT'S CHANGED IN RECENT DAYS?,To win over Sinema, Democrats dropped plans to close a tax loophole long enjoyed by wealthier Americans — the so-called “carried interest,” which under current law taxes wealthy hedge fund managers and others at a 20% rate. ,The left has for years sought to boost the carried interest tax rate, hiked to 37% in the original bill, more in line with upper-income earners.

EXTRA MONEY TO PAY DOWN DEFICITS,With some $740 billion in new revenue and around $433 billion in new investments, the bill promises to put the difference toward deficit reduction. Federal deficits spiked during the COVID-19 pandemic when federal spending soared and tax revenues fell as the nation's economy churned through shutdowns, closed offices and other massive changes. The nation has seen deficits rise and fall in recent years.

While Congress did pass a $1 trillion bipartisan infrastructure bill for highways, broadband and other investments that Biden signed into law last year, the president's and the party's other key priorities have slipped away. Among them is a continuation of a $300 monthly child tax credit that was sending money directly to families during the pandemic and is believed to have widely reduced child poverty. Also gone, for now, are plans for free pre-kindergarten and community college, as well as the nation's first paid family leave program that would have provided up to $4,000 a month for births, deaths and other pivotal needs. ,Associated Press writer Matthew Daly contributed to this report.","portalUser":{"id":"kQKU5wG2FUA","name":"Opoyi Central","username":"opoyicentral","photo":"https://ik.imagekit.io/o8plo3y5if/opoyi_6k77dlSYd.jpg","role":2,"userType":1},"opinions":[],"liveblogStatus":true,"lastReply":null,"replyUser":null,"userMentions":[],"lastCommentMentions":null,"lastReplyMentions":null,"checkIn":{"latitude":"38.9072","longitude":"-77.0369","name":"Washington D.C., DC, USA","city":"Washington"},"keywords":"Democrats,U.S.,Senate,Medicare,Americans,Sinema,Joe Biden,America,Chuck Schumer,Joe Manchin,West Virginia,Democrat,Kyrsten Sinema,Inflation Reduction Act,IRS","originalPublishedOn":"2022-08-06T02:40:00+05:30"}},{"node":{"id":"xrmYFkaXhZ8v","slug":"english/nancy-pelosi-praises-taiwan-pledges-us-solidarity-amid-china-threat","slugV2":"usa/nancy-pelosi-praises-taiwan-pledges-us-solidarity-amid-china-threat-718764/","title":"Nancy Pelosi praises Taiwan, pledges US solidarity amid China threat","postType":1,"coverMedia":"/opoyi_6xq_j6_aDxl.jpg","coverCaption":"Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., talks to reporters about plans to pass President Joe Biden's domestic agenda as the House meets to debate the Build Back Better Act, at the Capitol in Washington.

Wednesday’s 95-1 vote — for the candidacy of two Western European nations that, until Russia’s war against Ukraine, had long avoided military alliances — took a crucial step toward expansion of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization and its 73-year-old pact of mutual defense among the United States and democratic allies in Europe. Also read: NATO set to sign Finland, Sweden's accession protocol,Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer invited ambassadors of the two nations to the chamber gallery to witness the vote. President Joe Biden, who has been the principal player rallying global economic and material support for Ukraine, has sought quick entry for the two previously non-militarily aligned northern European nations. Approval from all member nations — currently, 30 — is required. The candidacies of the two prosperous Northern European nations have won ratification from more than half of the NATO member nations in the roughly three months since the two applied. It’s a purposely rapid pace meant to send a message to Russia over its six-month-old war against Ukraine’s West-looking government. Also read: Ukraine says its ready with million-strong army to retake south from Russia,“It sends a warning shot to tyrants around the world who believe free democracies are just up for grabs,” Sen. Amy Klobuchar, D-Minn. said in the Senate debate ahead of the vote. “Russia’s unprovoked invasion has changed the way we think about world security,” she added. Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, who visited Kyiv earlier this year, urged unanimous approval. Speaking to the Senate, McConnell cited Finland’s and Sweden’s well-funded, modernizing militaries and their experience working with U.S. forces and weapons systems, calling it a “slam-dunk for national security” of the United States.

According to the president, the order facilitates women travelling out of state for abortions, ensures health care providers follow federal law so women are not delayed in receiving care, and advances research and data collection to evaluate the impact that this reproductive health crisis is having on maternal health and other health conditions and outcomes. Also read: Kansas voters protect abortion rights in first vote after Roe v. Wade reversal,Women’s health and lives are on the line, Biden added, referring to the chaos and uncertainty that has followed the Supreme Court's decision. “Emergency medical care being denied to women experiencing miscarriages, doctors uncertain about what they can do to provide for their patients, pharmacists unsure whether they can fill prescriptions that they’ve always filled before, a tragic case of rape survivors, including a 10-year-old girl forced to travel to another state for care,” before signing the order, Biden stated. The order comes just one day after Kansas voters delivered abortion rights advocates a significant win by defeating a bill that would have empowered the Republican-led legislature to impose further restrictions. Biden celebrated the vote in the White House.

And the voters of Kansas sent a powerful signal that this fall the American people will vote to preserve and protect the right and refuse to let them be ripped away by politicians,” Biden stated during the ceremony. “And my administration has their back.”,Biden signed the executive order during the first meeting of the administration's newly formed Task Force on Reproductive Healthcare Access, which is made up of officials from throughout the federal government. Cabinet members briefed the President on actions made by their various agencies to protect reproductive rights. Also read: Who is Dr Caitlin Bernard, doctor investigated in Indiana for performing abortion?,The order directs Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra to consider all appropriate actions to ensure health care providers comply with federal non-discrimination laws so that women receive medically necessary care without delay, which would include steps to provide technical and legal guidance to health care providers in the aftermath of the Supreme Court's decision. According to a CNN report published last month, doctors have struggled to navigate intricate guidelines as states across the country pass increasingly strict abortion restrictions, with experts warning of a enormous chilling effect on doctors conducting miscarriage surgeries even when doctors are confident that what they're doing is within the letter of the law. The order issued on Wednesday also orders HHS to consider procedures to ensure that women travelling across state lines for abortions have access to health care services, including Medicaid. A bill granting women the right to travel across state borders to seek abortions failed to clear the Senate last month after Republicans rejected it. Also read: YouTube to ban abortion misinformation on platform,According to a senior administration official, states would be able to offer care for out-of-state patients seeking abortions under a Medicaid 1115 waiver, which would allow states to waive certain state-based rules in delivering care and help cover certain costs, CNN reported. According to the official, the executive order also urges HHS to enhance research efforts on maternal health data in order to accurately measure the impact that diminishing access to reproductive health care services has on women’s health. When asked how the president's executive order on reproductive health care will avoid violating the Hyde Amendment, which prohibits the use of federal funds to perform abortions, White House press secretary Karine Jean Pierre said the Department of Health and Human Services will come up with the specifics on how they're gonna work with states to provide care through Medicaid waivers. Also read: Was Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez arrested in Washington pro-abortion protest?,“So, as you know, Medicaid provides comprehensive health care to women with low incomes – this care includes family planning services such as contraception, non-emergency medical, transportation, and support services like targeted case management, which allows health care providers to help patients coordinate their care,” Jean-Pierre told CNN. “And it also includes abortion care in certain circumstances, as accepted by the Hyde Amendment, which is rape, incest and life of the mother.”,According to Jean-Pierre, the executive order will cover care that is otherwise part of Medicaid, such as non-emergency medical travel and other health care services. “The Hyde Amendment is law and we’re gonna, we’re gonna follow that law,” Jean-Pierre added.

Biden signed an order last month that he said would guarantee access to abortion treatment and contraception, protect patient privacy, and create an interagency task group to employ every federal tool available to protect access to reproductive health care. However, there is nothing the president can do to restore the countrywide right to an abortion, and Biden has explicitly admitted that his choices for expanding abortion access remain restricted.","portalUser":{"id":"kQKU5wG2FUA","name":"Opoyi Central","username":"opoyicentral","photo":"https://ik.imagekit.io/o8plo3y5if/opoyi_6k77dlSYd.jpg","role":2,"userType":1},"opinions":[],"liveblogStatus":true,"lastReply":null,"replyUser":null,"userMentions":[],"lastCommentMentions":null,"lastReplyMentions":null,"checkIn":{"latitude":"38.9072","longitude":"-77.0369","name":"Washington D.C., DC, USA","city":"Washington"},"keywords":"the Supreme Court's,CNN,Jean-Pierre,Kansas,the Hyde Amendment,US,Joe Biden,Republican,the White House,American,Task Force,Reproductive Healthcare Access,Health and Human Services,Xavier Becerra,HHS","originalPublishedOn":"2022-08-04T02:18:36+05:30"}},{"node":{"id":"fS9xNyus1Y1J","slug":"english/who-is-nancy-pelosi","slugV2":"usa/who-is-nancy-pelosi-710046/","title":"Who is Nancy Pelosi?","postType":1,"coverMedia":"/opoyi_xEFwCM7GT.jpg","coverCaption":"US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.

The current Attorney General of the state had decided to run for the US Senate and announced his candidacy last year and is looking to replace the incumbent Roy Blunt. ,Schmitt has defeated a long list of candidates who were on the Republican ballot, including the former governor Eric Greitens, who had resigned from the position after news of his involvement in sexual assault was revealed, and Vicky Hartzler. Both his primary competitors failed to make a dent in the AG's Senate run as he won 44.8% of the vote, compared to Hartzler's 22.6% and Greitens' 19.1%. ,Also Read: US primaries: All you need to know about the Missouri elections,The votes on the Democratic Party side of the aisle are yet to be counted, however, it is looking increasingly like that Trudy Busch Valentine is going to be their nomination that Schmitt will go up against when the midterm elections begin on November 8, 2022. ,Both Greitens and Smith had been vying for endorsement from a recalcitrant Trump.

Buskirk is in support of expanding education as well as providing more support for adoption services. At the same time, he states that while he is in support of women's abortion rights his passionate hope is that women consider alternatives such as adoption. The country's children and youth must be first and forefront in all our priorities, according to a ksn.com questionnaire answered by the Democrat. ,Buskirk acknowledges that the U.S. economy was affected during the COVID-19 pandemic because of which many working-class families needed to be helped. To do so, elected politicians need to target needy members of our community by providing subsidies, tax rebates, food pantries as well as help provided by civic and religious charities. ,Another issue that the KU alumnus is passionate about is LGBTQ rights, he says that he is in support of them and that individual rights must be affirmed and actively protected. Buskirk is one of six Democrats and one Republican all gunning for the Senate seat currently held by Republican Jerry Moran. The primaries for Kansas, Washington, Michigan, Missouri, Arizona and Ohio are on August 2, 2022 with the mid-term elections beginning on November 8, 2022.","portalUser":{"id":"kQKU5wG2FUA","name":"Opoyi Central","username":"opoyicentral","photo":"https://ik.imagekit.io/o8plo3y5if/opoyi_6k77dlSYd.jpg","role":2,"userType":1},"opinions":[],"liveblogStatus":true,"lastReply":null,"replyUser":null,"userMentions":[],"lastCommentMentions":null,"lastReplyMentions":null,"checkIn":{"latitude":"39.0473","longitude":"-95.6752","name":"Topeka, KS, USA","city":"Topeka"},"keywords":"Buskirk,Kansas,Democrat,the U.S. Senate,Paul Buskirk,the University of Kansas Athletics,the University of Kansas,Lawrence,Douglas County,Lauren,Sierra,Maria,the Supreme Court's,Roe v.

Also Read: What is the Net Neutrality and Broadband Justice Bill?,Simply put, net neutrality is the concept that the Internet should be free of the influences of companies providing it as a service as well as being neutral and not preferring specific regions or localities over others for the sake of profit. ,The point of the concept is that ISPs don't throttle or block access for some users while prioritising others. Without net neutrality, ISPs have free hand to charge a premium on different tiers of service, throttle internet traffic as well as block access from specific services. Conversations regarding net neutrality haven't been restricted to just the U.S. however. Other countries where governments have attempted to regulate or have successfully regulated ISPs are India, Brazil, Phillipines, Canada, Chile, Netherlands, Singapore as well as the European Union. ,The concept has been around since the 90s. Up until 2015, Internet access and broadband services were considered to be Title I services, which lack the strict oversight that the FCC maintains over Title II services under the Telecommunications Act of 1996. ,In 2015, following several court battles between ISPs and the FCC, the Barrack Obama administration-backed regulator revised its rules. The FCC passed the Open Internet Order changing the classification of ISPs from Title I to Title II. Internet access providers like Verizon, AT\u0026T and Comcast were against the new rules. In 2017, the FCC, which now had a Republican majority repealed the Open Internet Order led by the chairman of the FCC, Ajit Pai, a Trump elect who described the regulations as heavy-handed. Following Joe Biden's victory in the presidential elections in 2020, Pai stepped down from the FCC the day that the incoming president was set to take office. ,Also Read: House Democrats introduce new Net Neutrality Bill,In July 2021, Joe Biden signed a sweeping executive order called the Promoting Competition in the American Economy which had many provisions for net neutrality.

Lewis had given up a successful career at the Solomon Brothers to write about the ‘insane people’ who play with billions of dollars of public money in hedge funds and the likes in his first book much before The Big Short. Also Read| Great Depression to COVID: Top 5 market crashes in American history,Sample this lengthy part from the Prologue of The Big Short: “The two decades after I left, I waited for the end of Wall Street as I had known it. …Over and over again, the financial system was, in some narrow way, discredited. Yet the big Wall Street banks at the centre of it just kept on growing, along with the sums of money that they doled out to twenty-six-year-olds to perform tasks of no obvious social utility. The rebellion by American youth against the money culture never happened. Why bother to overturn your parents' world when you can buy it and sell off the pieces? At some point, I gave up waiting. There was no scandal or reversal, I assumed, sufficiently great to sink the system. Then came Meredith Whitney, with the news. Whitney was an obscure analyst of financial firms for an obscure financial firm, Oppenheimer and Co. who, on October 31, 2007, ceased to be obscure. On that day she predicted that Citigroup had so mismanaged its affairs that it would need to slash its dividend or go bust. It's never entirely clear on any given day what causes what inside the stock market, but it was pretty clear that, on October 31, Meredith Whitney caused the market in financial stocks to crash. By the end of the trading day, a woman whom basically no one had ever heard of, and who could have been dismissed as a nobody, had shaved 8% off the shares of Citigroup and $390 billion off the value of the U.S. stock market. Four days later, Citigroup CEO Chuck Prince resigned. Two weeks later, Citigroup slashed its dividend. From that moment, Meredith Whitney became E. F. Hutton: When she spoke, people listened. Her message was clear: If you want to know what these Wall Street firms are really worth, take a cold, hard look at these crappy assets they're holding with borrowed money, and imagine what they'd fetch in a fire sale. Also Read | US inflation rate at a 40-year high | A timeline: 1930-2022,…The value of your securities is as illusory as the value of your people. Rivals accused Whitney of being overrated; bloggers accused her of being lucky. What she was, mainly, was right. But it's true that she was, in part, guessing. There was no way she could have known what was going to happen to these Wall Street firms, or even the extent of their losses in the subprime mortgage market. The CEOs themselves didn't know. Either that or they are all liars, she said, but I assume they really just don't know. Now, obviously, Meredith Whitney didn't sink Wall Street. She'd just expressed most clearly and most loudly a view that turned out to be far more seditious to the social order than, say, the many campaigns by various New York attorneys general against Wall Street corruption. If mere scandal could have destroyed the big Wall Street investment banks, they would have vanished long ago. This woman wasn't saying that Wall Street bankers were corrupt. She was saying that they were stupid. These people whose job it was to allocate capital apparently didn't even know how to manage their own.”,Also Read| Why is the US Fed Reserve hiking interest rates?,The 2008 stock market collapse took place on September 29, 2008.

The $280 billion measure, which awaits a House vote, includes federal grants and tax breaks for companies that construct their chip facilities in the U.S. The legislation also directs Congress to significantly increase spending on high-tech research programs that lawmakers say will help the country stay economically competitive in the decades ahead.

The House vote is expected later this week as lawmakers try to wrap up business before returning to their home states and districts in August.

Proponents of the legislation say other countries are spending billons of dollars to lure chipmakers. Backers say the U.S. must do the same or risk losing a secure supply of the semiconductors that power automobiles, computers, appliances and some of the military’s most advanced weapons systems.

The Commerce Department on Thursday will release new gross domestic product figures. Top forecasts such as the Atlanta Federal Reserve’s GDPNow are predicting that the figure will be negative for the second straight quarter — an informal signal that the country is stuck in a downturn. That's political chum for Republicans in an election year. Also Read| US economy sending mixed signals: Here's what it all means,The Biden administration is pre-emptively telling voters not to judge the economy by GDP or inflation alone. It says people should look at job gains, industrial output and other measures that point toward continued growth, even as Americans are downbeat in polls on the economy and Biden. The president maintains the economy is just cooling off after a sharp recovery from the 2020 recession caused by the coronavirus pandemic. “We’re not going to be in a recession, in my view,” Biden said Monday. “My hope is we go from this rapid growth to steady growth. The spectre of a recession could worsen what already appears to a bleak round of midterm elections this November, in which Biden's Democrats could possibly lose control of the House and Senate. Biden's team gave technical arguments in a report issued last week about how recessions depend on a dashboard of indicators and that only the non-governmental National Bureau of Economic Research can formally say when a downturn begins. Also Read| US Fed begins policy meeting with the goal of taming inflation,Republicans warn that the GDP report could show an economy in collapse, noting that Biden was also wrong on inflation as the consumer price index has jumped to a 40-year high despite assurances that the price increases would fade as the country moved past the pandemic. “The White House published a whole explanation insisting that even if the new data suggest that our country is in recession, we actually won’t be, Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell said in Monday in a speech to the Senate. Also Read| Why is the US Fed Reserve hiking interest rates?,“The same people who said inflation wouldn’t happen, he continued, “are now insisting we aren’t headed into a recession. Draw your own conclusions.”,The GDP report will likely be a “choose your own economy” kind of messaging in which voters will decide which numbers resonate with them the most. It's GOP bluntness against Democratic nuance. “You’ll have Republicans saying two consecutive quarters of negative growth — that’s a recession,” said Michael Strain, director of economic policy studies at the centre-right American Enterprise Institute. “And you’ll have Democrats making this kind of hard-to-follow argument that we’re not in recession, but, yes, we are slowing down. If I had to bet, I would bet that the Republican argument gets more traction.”,Also Read| Grim news from Walmart sends US markets tumbling,Not only is the likely GOP message more direct, it also leans into how many Americans feel right now. A July poll from The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research found that 83% believe the U.S. is going in the wrong direction. That's a sharp reversal from May of 2021 when 54% said the country was headed in the right direction, a level of approval that overlapped with an increase in vaccinations against COVID-19 and payments flowing from Biden's $1.9 trillion pandemic relief package. Separately, the University of Michigan's index of consumer sentiment is lower now than it was during the worst months of the 2008 financial crisis, an epic recession that involved the crash of the housing and stock markets and required a burst of government aid. The negativity has left the Biden administration trying to make the case that things are better than people think. Their argument starts with the torrid pace of hiring, with an average of 375,000 jobs being added monthly during the second quarter. Unemployment has held at 3.6% since March. Also Read| 5 most expensive pieces of real estate owned by billionaires,An alternative measure of the overall economy called gross domestic income contradicts GDP, showing that there was growth during the first three months of the year instead of decline. And gasoline prices, a core vulnerability for Biden, have fallen more than 60 cents a gallon since the middle of June, evidence that some inflationary pressures are easing. Both publicly and privately, administration officials say the GDP report won't tell the whole story. “When you’re creating almost 400,000 jobs a month, that is not a recession,” Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen said Sunday on NBC's “Meet the Press.”,Still, inflation has undermined the robust job market. Wage gains have failed to keep pace with price increases, meaning many people are effectively earning less money. There are also economic threats from abroad as China and many European economies are slowing down in ways that could spill over to the U.S. as the Federal Reserve is focused on raising interest rates in order to lower inflation. Also Read| Great Depression to COVID: Top 5 market crashes in American history,But so long as hiring continues, liberal economists believe that public opinion will change and fears of a recession will fade. The White House analyses are “grounded in data,” said Heidi Shierholz, president of the liberal Economic Policy Institute. “People will understand that if we continue to have extremely low unemployment that the idea we’re in a recession just doesn’t make a lot of sense,” she said.","portalUser":{"id":"kQKU5wG2FUA","name":"Opoyi Central","username":"opoyicentral","photo":"https://ik.imagekit.io/o8plo3y5if/opoyi_6k77dlSYd.jpg","role":2,"userType":1},"opinions":[],"liveblogStatus":true,"lastReply":null,"replyUser":null,"userMentions":[],"lastCommentMentions":null,"lastReplyMentions":null,"checkIn":null,"keywords":"Biden,Senate,Republicans,Americans,Democrats,The White House,Republican,GOP,U.S.,Joe Biden,The Commerce Department,the Atlanta Federal Reserve,House,National Bureau of Economic Research,Mitch McConnell","originalPublishedOn":"2022-07-27T00:15:00+05:30"}},{"node":{"id":"iwDe5LvpOK2b","slug":"english/who-is-david-jakubonis","slugV2":"usa/who-is-david-jakubonis-707332/","title":"Who is David Jakubonis?","postType":1,"coverMedia":"/opoyi_3ypfJXwLX.jpg","coverCaption":"Lee Zeldin speaks to delegates and assembled party officials at the 2022 NYGOP Convention (Photo Credit: AP)","reactionStats":"{\"like_count\":0,\"heartbreak_count\":0,\"laugh_count\":0,\"sad_count\":0,\"angry_count\":0}","updatedOn":"2022-07-22T17:40:00+05:30","highlightSummary":"\u003cul\u003e\n \u003cli\u003eLee Zeldin was delivering a speech when a man tried to stab him\u003c/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003eThe 43-year-old suspect\u0026nbsp;charged in the incident is from Fairport\u003c/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003eZeldin's running mate was one of the people who helped subdue the suspect\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003c/ul\u003e","highlightSummaryFlag":1,"breakingSponsored":0,"coverMediaType":1,"reactionsCount":0,"commentsCount":0,"lastComment":null,"isUpdated":false,"lastCommentUser":null,"trustScore":1,"fakeTrust":2,"content":"{\\\"time\\\":1658489236905,\\\"strCount\\\":2396,\\\"blocks\\\":[{\\\"type\\\":\\\"paragraph\\\",\\\"data\\\":{\\\"text\\\":\\\"The suspect who allegedly attacked\u0026nbsp;New York gubernatorial candidate Rep. \u003ca href=\\\\\\\"https://opoyi.com/usa/who-is-lee-zeldin-707176/\\\\\\\"\u003eLee Zeldin\u003c/a\u003e at a campaign event has been identified by police as\u0026nbsp;David Jakubonis.\\\"}},{\\\"type\\\":\\\"paragraph\\\",\\\"data\\\":{\\\"text\\\":\\\"Zeldin\u0026nbsp;was delivering a speech in the upstate town of Fairport Thursday evening when a man tried to stab him.

Joe Manchin of West Virginia has quashed the idea of imposing higher taxes on the rich and corporations as part of a separate Democratic-only effort. Three weeks ago, the computer chips bill looked like it could be in trouble despite having bipartisan support. That's when Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell said there would be no such bill as long as Democrats pursued what he called a “partisan reconciliation bill. But Manchin's decision to dramatically narrow the Democratic effort and axe the tax hikes appears to have opened the window for Republican cooperation on semiconductors. Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas, who endorsed McConnell’s approach, said on the Senate floor Monday that Manchin’s announcement on taxes means “we’re in a posture where we can go forward with the chips funding and other related provisions.”,“I hope we will be able to take action on that in the coming days, Cornyn said. The Biden administration is pressing Congress to move quickly on the semiconductor legislation before they leave for their month-long August recess. Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo said that chipmakers are making decisions now about where they need to locate plants to keep up with global demand, and that foreign competitors are courting those companies with financial aid. ,“It does nothing to protect the United States economy or national security to have another fab or manufacturing facility located somewhere else around the world, Cornyn said. “We need them here. The bill coming before the Senate this week is much narrower than legislation that both chambers had passed this Congress. The stripped-down measure contains the $52 billion in financial incentives and research, plus another $1.5 billion for a fund that would encourage competition to companies like Huawei in building 5G networks. The bill will also institute a 25% investment tax credit for investments in semiconductor manufacturing. ,The legislation would also prohibit aid recipients from expanding or building new manufacturing plans for certain advanced semiconductors in China or another foreign country of concern, according to a draft of the legislation obtained by The Associated Press. ,Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer told senators Monday that he wants lawmakers from the House and Senate to continue working on a broader bill to boost the semiconductor industry and scientific research in the U.S. but for now, he plans to hold the first procedural vote on the narrower measure Tuesday. He said manufacturers are “not going to wait around forever. Countless of good paying American jobs are on the line. Billions of dollars in economic activity are on the line. And as I said, our very national security is at stake, Schumer said. ,The Biden administration has touted the financial incentives for the computer chip industry as a way to create jobs in the U.S. while also relieving inflation pressures in the long-term on automobiles, computers and other high-tech products that rely on computer chips.","portalUser":{"id":"kQKU5wG2FUA","name":"Opoyi Central","username":"opoyicentral","photo":"https://ik.imagekit.io/o8plo3y5if/opoyi_6k77dlSYd.jpg","role":2,"userType":1},"opinions":[],"liveblogStatus":true,"lastReply":null,"replyUser":null,"userMentions":[],"lastCommentMentions":null,"lastReplyMentions":null,"checkIn":{"latitude":"38.9072","longitude":"-77.0369","name":"Washington D.C., DC, USA","city":"Washington"},"keywords":"Senate,Democratic,Republican,Congress,Republicans,Joe Manchin,West Virginia,Mitch McConnell,Democrats,John Cornyn,McConnell,Manchin,Biden,Commerce,Gina Raimondo","originalPublishedOn":"2022-07-19T05:00:00+05:30"}},{"node":{"id":"qse20roL3znZ","slug":"english/january-6-texts-erased-by-secret-service-watchdog-briefs-house-committee","slugV2":"usa/january-6-texts-erased-by-secret-service-watchdog-briefs-house-committee-702478/","title":"January 6 texts erased by Secret Service: Watchdog briefs House Committee","postType":1,"coverMedia":"/opoyi_5nC-dDuQ4.jpg","coverCaption":" Rioters try to break through a police barrier at the Capitol in Washington on Jan. 6, 2021.

Wade. The bill has little chance of becoming law, with the necessary support lacking in the 50-50 Senate. Yet voting marks the beginning of a new era in the debate as lawmakers, governors and legislatures grapple with the impact of the court's decision. Also Read: After Roe v Wade: What role does gestational age play in abortion laws?,The legislation passed 219-210. The House also passed a second bill to prohibit punishment for a woman or child who decides to travel to another state to get an abortion, 223-205. Just three weeks ago the Supreme Court took a wrecking ball to the fundamental rights by overturning Roe v. Wade, said House Speaker Nancy Pelosi ahead of the votes, gathering with other Democratic women on the steps of the Capitol. It is outrageous that 50 years later, women must again fight for our most basic rights against an extremist court. Also Read: Will Biden be able to declare abortion a public health emergency?,Republicans spoke forcefully against the two bills, praising the Supreme Court's decision and warning that the legislation would go further than Roe ever did when it comes to legalizing abortion. Urging her colleagues to vote no, Washington GOP Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers called abortion the greatest human rights issue of our generation. She said the Democratic legislation has nothing to do with protecting the health of women. It has everything to do with forcing an extreme agenda on the American people. By overturning Roe, the court has allowed states to enact strict abortion limits, including many that had previously been deemed unconstitutional. The ruling is expected to lead to abortion bans in roughly half the states. Already, a number of GOP-controlled states have moved quickly to curtail or outlaw abortion, while states controlled by Democrats have sought to champion access. Voters now rank abortion as among the most pressing issues facing the country, a shift in priorities that Democrats hope will reshape the political landscape in their favor for the midterm elections. This is the second time the House has passed the bill, which would expand on the protections Roe had previously provided by banning what supporters say are medically unnecessary restrictions that block access to safe and accessible abortions. It would prevent abortion bans earlier than 24 weeks, which is when fetal viability, the ability of a human fetus to survive outside the uterus, is generally thought to begin. It allows exceptions for abortions after fetal viability when a provider determines the life or health of the mother is at risk. The Democrats' proposal would also prevent states from requiring providers to share medically inaccurate information, or from requiring additional tests or waiting periods, often aimed at dissuading a patient from having an abortion. The bill that would prohibit punishment for traveling out of state would specify that doctors can't be punished for providing reproductive care outside their home state. Democratic Rep. Lizzie Fletcher of Texas, one of the bill's authors, said the threats to travel fail to reflect the fundamental rights that are granted in our Constitution. Democrats have highlighted the case of a 10-year-old girl who had to cross state lines into Indiana to get an abortion after being raped, calling it an example of how the court's decision is already having severe consequences. We don't have to imagine why this might matter. We don't need to conjure up hypotheticals. We already know what's happened, Democratic Sen. Amy Klobuchar said Thursday on the Senate floor. Should the next little 10-year-old's right or 12-year-old's right or 14-year-old's right to get the care that she desperately needs be put in jeopardy?,The Constitution doesn't explicitly say travel between states is a right, though the Supreme Court has said it is a right that has been firmly established and repeatedly recognized. Yet the court has never said exactly where the right to travel comes from and that could leave it open to challenge or elimination, as the right to an abortion was. Lawmakers in Missouri earlier this year, for example, considered making it illegal to aid or abet abortions that violate Missouri law, even if they occur out of state. The proposal was ultimately shelved. Democrats have teed up more bills for passage in the coming weeks. Majority Leader Steny Hoyer, D-Md. said Friday that the House will vote next week on legislation guaranteeing a right to contraception. GOP Sen. James Lankford of Oklahoma, who supports instituting a nationwide ban on abortion, accused his colleagues across the aisle Thursday of seeking to inflame the issue of abortion. He said proponents of the travel bill should ask themselves, Does the child in the womb have the right to travel in their future?,Only two Senate Republicans, Sens. Lisa Murkowski and Susan Collins, have been supportive of abortion rights, but they do not support the Democrats' proposal, calling it too far-reaching. They have introduced alternative legislation that would bar states from placing an undue burden on a woman's ability to obtain an abortion before fetal viability, among other provisions. When pressed Thursday on whether Democrats should work with the two senators, Pelosi pushed back, We're not going to negotiate a woman's right to choose. Since the court's ruling last month, some activists have accused President Joe Biden and other top Democrats of failing to respond forcefully enough to the decision. Biden, who denounced the court's ruling as extreme, last week issued an executive order intended to head off some potential penalties that women seeking abortion may face. His administration has also warned medical providers that they must offer abortion if the life of the mother is at risk. Meanwhile, the Democratic National Committee has already launched a digital ad campaign to energize voters on the issue, warning that Republicans' ultimate goal is to outlaw abortion nationwide. We have to elect a couple more Democratic senators so that we can get around the filibuster so that we can pass legislation that truly impacts a woman's right to choose, she said. There's no halfway measure.","portalUser":{"id":"kQKU5wG2FUA","name":"Opoyi Central","username":"opoyicentral","photo":"https://ik.imagekit.io/o8plo3y5if/opoyi_6k77dlSYd.jpg","role":2,"userType":1},"opinions":[],"liveblogStatus":true,"lastReply":null,"replyUser":null,"userMentions":[],"lastCommentMentions":null,"lastReplyMentions":null,"checkIn":{"latitude":"38.9072","longitude":"-77.0369","name":"Washington D.C., DC, USA","city":"Washington"},"keywords":"Democrats,House,Senate,Roe,GOP,the Supreme Court's,Roe v.
