The president has been served wrong information about what our bill will do, Grassley said Thursday between Senate votes. There s nothing in our bill that would do that. His understanding of the bill was wrong. Bush, in a morning news conference, told reporters that Congress has made the decision to expand the program up to $80,000. ...

Washingt stanley uk on mdash; Former President Donald Trump has been indicted by a federal grand jury on charges stemming from his efforts to remain in power after he lost the 2020 presidential election, adding to the former president s ongoing legal troubles as he mounts a stanley cup third bid for the White House.According to the indictment handed up Tuesday by a federal grand jury, Trump faces four charges: conspiracy to stanley tumbler defraud the United States; conspiracy to obstruct an official proceeding; obstruction of and attempt to obstruct an official proceeding; and conspiracy against rights.Special counsel Jack Smith, in announcing the charges Tuesday, called what happened on Jan. 6, 2021, an unprecedented assault on democracy. It was fueled by lies: Lies by the defendant targeted at obstructing a bedrock function of the U.S. government mdash; the nation s process of collecting, counting and certifying the results of the presidential election. The indictment says of Trump that despite having lost, he was determined to remain in power. So, for over two months after the election, Trump spread lies that there had been outcome-determinative fraud in the election and that he had actually won, the indictment states, and adds, These claims were false, and the defendant knew they were false, but repeated and widely disseminated them anyway.

Tbie Column: Big Voter Turnout Indicates Dire Circumstances
For months, the U.S. has been without a surgeon general, a largely ceremonial position affectionately dubbed the nation s top doctor. That could change with the Senate Democrats fin stanley cupe al days in office.Mr. Obama s nominee for the post, Dr. Vivek Murthy, cannot start his new job without first being confirmed by the Senate. However, his nomination fell victim to congressional gridlock over a lightning-rod political issue: guns.Sen. Rand Paul, R-Kentucky, blocked Murthy s nomination in February, arguing his non-clinical experience working with an offshoot of a pro-Obama campaign group made him overly political for the job. Among Murthy s sins, according to his detractors: promoting Obamacare in his role as co-founder of Doctors for America, including a tweet that tweaked the NRA while making his health care argument:After another high-profile Obama nominee was blocked, the White House decided to ease up on pushing for Murthy s confirmation. But a senior Democratic aide told CBS News that he is likely to finally get a vote during the final days stanley mugs that Democrats have control of the Senate. Because of a rule change earlier this year, he will only need 50 votes for confirmation. Waiting until Republicans take control in 2015 would all but certainly spe stanley cup ll the end of Murthy s chances.But it s not entirely clear that he will be confirmed.

I say tentatively upscale, they say with intelligent qualifications downscale. It s a thoughtful article, and one worth pondering for a long time. Let me indicate where I agree and disagree.Disagree. They write, To the extent that Republicans have to choose among which group to find new voters, they should look first to downscale voters w termo stanley ithout college degrees. But they concede that the college-educated represent a large and growing share of the electorate--45 percent in 2008, over a third of whom have post-graduate degrees and that John McCain won non-college whites 58 percent to 40 percent. That strikes me as pretty good numbers for Republicans among that demographic, and just about as high as can be hoped for in any fairly close election. College-educated whites, in contrast, voted 51 percent to 47 percent for McCain. I think there s more room for improvement here. stanley termosar Disagree.

To say that Trump and Republican congressional leaders are sending mixed signals about the viability of the repeal effort is an understatement.Last week, when it became clear that House Republicans didnrsquo;t have enough votes to pass the health-care repeal bill, the White House said Trump had given it his all, left everything on the field, and was ready to move on.Next up: taxes, the president said, without blinking.His son Eric channeled Kenny Rogersrsquo; The Gambler in praising his father for knowing when to walk away.

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell and President Biden spoke about the debt ceiling Friday, according to a Republican aide, a day after the Senate voted to raise the debt limit through early December, averting what threatened to be an economic disaster mdash; U.S. default.The short-term extension came after McConnell reversed course on a months long standoff with Democrats over the debt ceiling.

Eleven Senate Republicans, including several memb stanley cup ers of Senate GOP leadership, voted with Democrats to advance the debt limit deal, breaking a filibuster.

AP Democrats are attempting to improve Americans access to medical care through their massive health insurance overhaul, but they may make it a little harder for those seeking out Botox or breast implants. The health care bill unveiled by Senate Majority Harry Reid on Wednesday night includes a 5 percent tax on elective cosmetic surgery. The tax is expected to raise an estimated $5.8 billion over 10 years to help pay for the $849 billion plan, the Agence France-Presse reports. The tax would only hit elective procedures -- it exempts any procedures necessary to ameliorate a deformity arising from, or directly related to, a congenital abnormality, a personal injury resulting from an accident or trauma, or disfiguring disease. It would go into effect, according to the bill, on Jan. 1, 2010.The botax, as some have called it, was originally considered in the Senate Finance Committee but was dropped at the time. Some evidence could suggest the measure may not raise as much revenue as expected.
