This bill, if passed, will be known as the Inflation Reduction Act. Senators voted on amendments to Democrats' massive spending bill, which addresses health care, climate change, and taxation, late Saturday night and early Sunday morning. Also read: Senate Democrats push Biden's health, climate bill, House to vote next,Because none of the 50 Republican senators voted for the bill, it was enacted through the budget reconciliation process, which required all 50 Democrats and one tie-breaking vote from Vice President Kamala Harris. It also limits the bill's provisions to those that directly affect federal spending and revenue. Despite a few modifications from the Senate parliamentarian, Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y. said Saturday that the package overall represents a legislative success for Democrats. It's been a long, tough, winding road, Schumer stated before the final vote on Sunday. Also read: US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi looks to 'swiftly' pass climate and healthcare spending bill,Democrats have contended that the bill, dubbed the Inflation Reduction Act, will address voters' primary economic issue. Republicans claim that the new expenditure will increase inflation. However, the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office estimates that the law will have a negligible influence on inflation in 2022 and 2023. Overall, the plan is a far smaller version of what many Democrats, including President Joe Biden, had originally requested. This bill is far from perfect. It's a compromise. But it's often how progress is made, last month, Biden stated at the White House. My message to Congress is this: This is the strongest bill you can pass. Following Senate passage, the House aims to take up the bill at the end of the week and submit it to President Biden for signature. Also read: What is vote-a-rama?,Here's a look at what did and didn't make it into the Democrats' measure. Combating Climate Change,Over $300 billion would indeed be invested in energy and climate reform, making it the greatest federal clean energy investment in US history. Many environmental and climate activists favour the plan, but it falls short of the $555 billion requested by Democrats. 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. Also read: Nancy Pelosi's flight to Taiwan becomes most tracked flight in the world: Report,This helps millions of Americans avoid unexpected increases in their health-care bills. 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.

Lake's victory was a blow to the GOP establishment that lined up behind lawyer and businesswoman Karrin Taylor Robson in an attempt to push their party past the chaotic Trump era. Lake said she would not have certified President Joe Biden's 2020 victory and put false claims of election fraud at the center of her campaign. ,“The MAGA movement rose up like their lives depended on it,” Lake said as she declared victory prematurely on Wednesday afternoon, a day before the race was called, using an acronym for Trump's Make America Great Again movement. “And it proved that you can't buy an election, at least not in Arizona. We the people rose up and spoke. ,Robson, who is married to one of Arizona's richest men, largely self-funded her campaign. She called the 2020 election “unfair” but stopped short of calling it fraudulent and pushed for the GOP to look toward the future.

Lake will face Democratic Secretary of State Katie Hobbs in the November election. Early election results showing only mail ballots received before Election Day gave Robson a solid lead, but that was whittled down as votes from polling places were added to the tally. Lake's victory became clear Thursday when Maricopa County released results from thousands of mail ballots dropped off at the polls on Tuesday. ,In a midterm primary season with mixed results for Trump’s favored candidates, the former president came out on top in Arizona, a state that has been central to his efforts to overturn the 2020 presidential election and cast doubt on Biden's victory. In addition to Lake, Trump’s picks for U.S. Senate, secretary of state, attorney general, U.S. House and the state Legislature all won their GOP primaries. If they win in November, Trump allies will hold sway over the administration of elections in a crucial battleground state as he considers another bid for the White House in 2024. The results also show that Trump remains a powerful figure in the GOP as longtime party stalwarts get increasingly bold in their efforts to reassert control ahead of the next presidential campaign. ,Former Vice President Mike Pence, Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey and former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie all campaigned for Robson in the days before the election. Lake now faces the daunting task of uniting the Republican Party after a bruising primary. She attempted to reach out to Robson and others she fiercely criticized as RINOs, or Republicans in Name Only, who don't align with Trump on key issues. ,“Frankly, this party needs her to come together, and I welcome her,” Lake said of Robson. “And I hope that she will come over for this.”,Like Trump, Lake courts controversy and confrontation. She berates journalists and dodges questions. She burned masks during the COVID-19 surge in the summer of 2021 and attacked Republicans like Ducey who allowed restrictions on businesses, though as a news anchor she encouraged people to follow public health guidance. Lake spent the days leading up to her own election claiming there were signs of fraud, but she refused to provide any evidence. Once her victory was assured, she said voters should trust her win is legitimate. ,“We outvoted the fraud,” Lake said. She pointed to problems in one county, which ran out of ballots in some precincts and had to print more, but she and her attorney, Tim La Sota, refused to provide evidence backing up her claims of fraud. She said she has no plans to stop talking about election fraud even as she needs to broaden her appeal beyond the loyalists her powered her primary victory. ,Federal and state election officials and Trump’s own attorney general have said there is no credible evidence the 2020 election was tainted. Trump’s allegations of fraud were also roundly rejected by courts, including by judges he appointed. A hand recount led by Trump supporters in Maricopa County, Arizona’s largest, found no proof of a stolen election and concluded Biden’s margin of victory was larger than the official count. ,Hobbs, Lake's opponent in November, went after the candidate over her opposition to abortion rights and gun control and a proposal she floated to put cameras in every classroom to keep an eye on teachers. ,“Quite simply, Kari Lake is dangerous,” Hobbs told supporters Tuesday night after she won the Democratic primary by a wide margin. ,Republicans, moving toward November as a divided party in Arizona, need to make an appeal to the independent voters who decide close races, said Chuck Coughlin, a longtime Republican strategist who left the party during the Trump era. “I see it as a challenge the Republicans are going to have: How do they narrate to unaffiliated voters?” Coughlin 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":{"latitude":"32.7559","longitude":"-111.671","name":"Arizona City, AZ, USA","city":"Eloy"},"keywords":"Trump,Arizona,GOP,Robson,Lake,Republicans,Kari Lake,Republican,Joe Biden,Democratic,Maricopa County,Donald Trump,Karrin Taylor Robson,State,Katie Hobbs","originalPublishedOn":"2022-08-05T08:43:31+05:30"}},{"node":{"id":"SvBowgU2GnG8","slug":"english/jan-6-hearings-witness-rusty-bowers-has-no-regrets-in-gop-race-loss","slugV2":"usa/jan-6-hearings-witness-rusty-bowers-has-no-regrets-in-gop-race-loss-717481/","title":"Jan 6 hearings: Witness Rusty Bowers has no regrets in GOP race loss","postType":1,"coverMedia":"/opoyi_zJX90rCA3.jpg","coverCaption":"Capitol riots witness Rusty Bowers has no regrets in GOP race loss.

Once banned in the U.S. the high-powered firearms are now widely blamed as the weapon of choice among young men responsible for many of the most devastating mass shootings. But Congress allowed the restrictions first put in place in 1994 on the manufacture and sales of the weapons to expire a decade later, unable to muster the political support to counter the powerful gun lobby and reinstate the weapons ban. Speaker Nancy Pelosi pushed the vote toward passage in the Democratic-run House, saying the earlier ban “saved lives.”,The House legislation is shunned by Republicans, who dismissed it as an election-year strategy by Democrats. Almost all Republicans voted against the bill, which passed 217-213. It will likely stall in the 50-50 Senate. The bill comes at a time of intensifying concerns about gun violence and shootings — the supermarket shooting in Buffalo, N.Y.; massacre of school children in Uvalde, Texas; and the July Fourth shootings of revelers in Highland Park, Ill. Voters seem to be taking such election-year votes seriously as Congress splits along party lines and lawmakers are forced to go on the record with their views. A recent vote to protect same-sex marriages from potential Supreme Court legal challenges won a surprising amount of bipartisan support. President Joe Biden, who was instrumental in helping secure the first semi-automatic weapons ban as a senator in 1994, encouraged passage, promising to sign the bill if it reached his desk. In a statement before the vote, his administration said we know an assault weapons and large-capacity magazine ban will save lives.”,The Biden administration said for 10 years while the ban was in place, mass shootings declined. “When the ban expired in 2004, mass shootings tripled,” the statement said.

Guy Reschenthaler, R-Pa. Said Rep. Andrew Clyde, R-Ga. “An armed America is a safe and free America.”,Democrats argued that the ban on the weapons makes sense, portraying Republicans as extreme and out of step with Americans. Rep. Jim McGovern, D-Mass. said the weapons ban is not about taking away Americans' Second Amendment rights but ensuring that children also have the right “to not get shot in school.”,Pelosi displayed a poster of a gun company's advertisement for children's weapons, smaller versions that resemble the popular AR-15 rifles and are marketed with cartoon-like characters. “Disgusting, she said. In one exchange, two Ohio lawmakers squared off. “Your freedom stops where mine begins, and that of my constituents begins,” Democratic Rep. Marcy Kaptur told Republican Rep. Jim Jordan. “Schools, shopping malls, grocery stores, Independence Day parades shouldn’t be scenes of mass carnage and bloodshed.”,Jordan replied by inviting her to his congressional district to debate him on the Second Amendment, saying he believed most of his constituents “probably agree with me and agree with the United States Constitution.”,The bill would make it unlawful to import, sell or manufacture a long list of semi-automatic weapons. Judiciary Committee Chairman Rep. Jerry Nadler, D-N.Y. said it exempts those already in possession. Also Read | Roe v Wade: Justice Samuel Alito mocks foreign critics of abortion reversal,Reps. Chris Jacobs of New York and Brian Fitzpatrick of Pennsylvania were the only Republicans to vote for the measure. The Democratic lawmakers voting no were Reps. Kurt Schrader of Oregon, Henry Cuellar of Texas, Jared Golden of Maine, Ron Kind of Wisconsin and Vicente Gonzalez of Texas. For nearly two decades, since the previous ban expired Democrats had been reluctant to revisit the issue and confront the gun lobby. But voter opinions appear to be shifting and Democrats dared to act before the fall election. The outcome will provide information for voters of where the candidates stand on the issue. Democrats had tried to link the weapons ban to a broader package of public safety measures that would have increased federal funding for law enforcement. It's something centrist Democrats in tough re-election campaigns wanted to shield them from political attacks by their Republican opponents they are soft on crime. Pelosi said the House will revisit the public safety bills in August when lawmakers are expected to return briefly to Washington to handle other remaining legislation, including Biden's priority inflation-fighting package of health care and climate change strategies making its way in the Senate. Congress passed a modest gun violence prevention package just last month in the aftermath of the tragic shooting of 19 school children and two teachers in Uvalde. That bipartisan bill was the first of its kind after years of failed efforts to confront the gun lobby, including after a similar 2012 mass tragedy at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn. That law provides for expanded background checks on young adults buying firearms, allowing authorities to access certain juvenile records. It also closes the so-called “boyfriend loophole” by denying gun purchases for those convicted of domestic abuse outside of marriages. The new law also frees up federal funding to the states, including for “red flag” laws that enable authorities to remove guns from those who would harm themselves or others. But even that modest effort at halting gun violence came at time of grave uncertainty in the U.S. over restrictions on firearms as the more conservative Supreme Court is tackling gun rights and other issues. Biden signed the measure two days after the Supreme Court’s ruling striking down a New York law that restricted people's ability to carry concealed weapons.","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,Republicans,House,Congress,Democratic,Texas,U.S.,Senate,Uvalde,Supreme Court,Biden,America,Americans,Republican,New York","originalPublishedOn":"2022-07-30T05:00:00+05:30"}},{"node":{"id":"ArRs57NosptB","slug":"english/us-senate-moves-to-ease-electric-vehicle-purchases","slugV2":"usa/us-senate-moves-to-ease-electric-vehicle-purchases-712595/","title":"US Senate moves to ease electric vehicle purchases","postType":1,"coverMedia":"/opoyi_6JhL952zb.jpg","coverCaption":" Cooper SE electric vehicle in a showroom.

The elections are expected to serve as one of the key battlegrounds for control of the US House of Representatives and Senate. Arizona currently has a mix of GOP and Democratic officials. Governor Doug Ducey, who is term-limited, is a member of the Republican party. The two Senators of Arizona, however, are Democrats. One of them is Kyrsten Sinema, who has often crossed party lines to vote alongside Republicans.

Additionally, the bill will also boost funding for mental health services and school safety programmes, which are priorities for the Republicans backing the bill.","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":"38.906","longitude":"-77.0334","name":"Washington, D.C., USA","city":"Washington"},"keywords":"Senate,Republicans,House,US,Joe Biden,The US Senate,the House of Representatives,Democrats,Mitch McConnell,New York,Republican,Elementary School,gun control, gun control bill, gun violence bill, gun violence","originalPublishedOn":"2022-06-24T09:00:00+05:30"}},{"node":{"id":"7ODCL5HFuy2n","slug":"english/what-us-congress-says-about-joe-bidens-gas-tax-holiday","slugV2":"usa/what-us-congress-says-about-joe-bidens-gas-tax-holiday-685020/","title":"What US Congress says about Joe Biden's 'Gas Tax Holiday'","postType":1,"coverMedia":"/opoyi_yAkcQlTSX.jpg","coverCaption":"President Joe Biden speaks about gas prices in the South Court Auditorium on the White House.

I'm doing my part. I want Congress, states and industry to do their part as well. At issue is the 18.4 cents-a-gallon federal tax on gas and the 24.4 cents-a-gallon federal tax on diesel fuel.

Even many economists view the idea of a gas tax holiday with skepticism. Democratic House Speaker Nancy Pelosi offered a noncommittal response to Biden's proposal, saying she would look to see if there was support for it in Congress. We will see where the consensus lies on a path forward for the president's proposal in the House and the Senate, Pelosi said. Unlikely to pass a gas tax holiday through the 50-50 Senate, Majority Leader Chuck Schumer of New York said Wednesday that Democrats will focus instead on their bill to crack down on oil companies manipulating the market for higher prices and profits. We're going to focus on that issue, Schumer said. In his speech, Biden tied higher energy prices to Russia's invasion of Ukraine and said, defending freedom, defending democracy was not going to go without cost for the American people and the rest of the free world. The president noted that lawmakers backed sanctions against Russia and aiding Ukraine despite the risks of inflation from resulting energy and food shortages. Democrats, Republicans and independents in Congress chose to support Ukraine, knowing full well the cost, he said. So for all those Republicans in Congress criticizing me today for high gas prices in America: Are you now saying you were wrong to support Ukraine? Biden said. Are you saying that we would rather have lower gas prices in America than (Russian President Vladimir) Putin's iron fist in Europe? I don't believe that. ,The president said states are now in a strong position to be able to afford to take some of these actions, thanks to federal support from the 2021 COVID-19 relief bill. But there is no guarantee that states will tap into their budgets to suspend their taxes on gas or to deliver rebates to consumers, as Biden is requesting. Barack Obama, during the 2008 presidential campaign, called the idea of a gas tax holiday a gimmick that allowed politicians to say that they did something. He also warned that oil companies could offset the tax relief by increasing their prices. The administration is saying that gas tax suspensions at the federal and state levels as well as energy companies pouring their profits into production and refining capacity could cut gas prices by $1 a gallon. High gas prices pose a fundamental threat to Biden's electoral and policy ambitions. They've caused confidence in the economy to slump to lows that bode poorly for defending Democratic control of the House and the Senate in November. Biden's past efforts to cut gas prices — including the release of oil from the U.S. strategic reserve and greater ethanol blending this summer — have not delivered savings at the pump, a risk that carries over to the idea of a gas tax holiday. The president can do remarkably little to fix prices that are set by global markets, profit-driven companies, consumer demand and aftershocks from Russia's invasion of Ukraine and the embargoes that followed. The underlying problem is a shortage of oil and refineries that produce gas, a challenge a tax holiday cannot necessarily fix. Mark Zandi, chief economist at Moody's Analytics, estimated that the majority of the 8.6% inflation seen over the past 12 months in the U.S. comes from higher commodity prices due to Russia's invasion and continued disruptions from the coronavirus. In the immediate near term, it is critical to stem the increase in oil prices, Zandi said last week, suggesting that Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and a nuclear deal with Iran could help to boost supplies and lower prices. Republican lawmakers have tried to shift more blame to Biden, saying he created a hostile environment for domestic oil producers, causing their output to stay below pre-pandemic levels. Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell mocked the gas tax holiday as an ineffective stunt in a Wednesday floor speech. This ineffective administration's big new idea is a silly proposal that senior members of their own party have already shot down well in advance, he said. Rep. Peter DeFazio, the Democratic chairman of the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee, said he would not support suspending the gas tax. I'm going to be working against it. I have the largest committee in Congress, so we'll see. DeFazio said a better course would be to tax oil companies on windfall profits.

The officials did not specify any new revenue sources. The president has also called on energy companies to accept lower profit margins to increase oil production and refining capacity for gasoline. This has increased tensions with oil producers: Biden has judged the companies to be making more money than God. That kicked off a chain of events in which the head of Chevron, Michael Wirth, sent a letter to the White House saying that the administration has largely sought to criticize, and at times vilify, our industry. Asked about the letter, Biden said of Wirth: He's mildly sensitive. I didn't know they'd get their feelings hurt that quickly. Energy companies are scheduled to meet Thursday with Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm to discuss ways to increase supply.","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":"Joe Biden, Gas Tax holiday,Gas prices in US,Us gas prices inflation, inflation in US, US Congress on gas prices","originalPublishedOn":"2022-06-23T07:20:00+05:30"}},{"node":{"id":"e9hpCIixyFMf","slug":"english/rattled-by-donald-trump-rep-mo-brooks-loses-crucial-gop-primary-runoff","slugV2":"usa/rattled-by-donald-trump-rep-mo-brooks-loses-crucial-gop-primary-runoff-684327/","title":"Rattled by Donald Trump, Rep.

The landmark bill comes roughly a month after the deadly shooting in Uvalde, Texas. More than 20 people were killed. Nearly 29 years after the Senate last enacted a major firearms law, lawmakers released the 80-page bill nine days after agreeing to a framework for the plan. The legislation is also being created parallel to ongoing primary elections, raising the stakes for some legislators. Also Read: Matthew McConaughey's gun control video seeks bipartisan solution | Watch,What is in the bill?,The legislation would toughen background checks for the youngest firearms buyers, require more sellers to conduct background checks and beef up penalties on gun traffickers. It also would disburse money to states and communities aimed at improving school safety and mental health initiatives. One steep change that would be introduced is for convicted domestic abusers, who would not be allowed to purchase firearms. Earlier, only convicted domestic abusers who were married were prohibited from owning guns. The upcoming legislation would also provide $750 million to the 19 states that have red flag laws, which enable law enforcement officers to confiscate firearms if flagged by someone. States with “red flag” laws that receive the funds would have to have legal processes for the gun owner to fight the firearm's removal, Associated Press reported.
