P stanley cup resident Obama on Saturday settled back into the punchy, campaign-style message he s been delivering on the road over the last several weeks, mocking House Republicans plan to sue him and urging them to do something instead of just taking potshots at him. So far this year, Republicans in Congress have blocked every serious idea to strengthen the middle class. Lifting the min stanley cup imum wage, fair pay, student loan reform - they ve said no to all of it, the president said in his weekly address. And that s when I ve acted this year to help working Americans on my own - when Congress won t act. I ve taken actions to attract new jobs, lift workers wages, help students pay off their loans and more. But the Republican plan is not to do some of this work with me - instead, it s to sue me, the president said. That s actually what they re spending their time on. It s a political stunt that s going to waste months of America s time. And by the way, they re going to pay for it using your hard-earned tax dollars.

Almost three weeks after his death, the murder of journalist Jamal Khashoggi is now confirmed, but what remains a mystery is exactly how it happened and who was the mastermind behind the brutal plan. Despite a joint Turkish-Saudi investigation, the two countries leadership and officials speaking with t stanley cup he press are spewing divergent details. There have been many reports, unconfirmed by CBS News, that allege certain details based on Turkish sources.

Last week, they changed their story and admitted that Khashoggi had been killed by Saudi agents in the consulate.
