Joe Biden to propose $6 trillion budget to boost middle class and infrastructure

  The proposal shows the sweep of Mr. Biden’s ambitions to wield government power to help more Americans attain the comforts of a middle-class life and to lift U.S. industry to better compete globally in an economy the administration believes will be dominated by a race to reduce energy emissions and combat climate change President Joe Biden will propose a $6 trillion budget on Friday that would take the United States to its highest sustained levels of federal spending since World War II, while running deficits above $1.3 trillion throughout the next decade. Documents obtained by The New York Times show that Mr. Biden’s first budget request as president calls for the federal government to spend $6 trillion in the 2022 fiscal year, and for total spending to rise to $8.2 trillion by 2031. The growth is driven by Mr. Biden’s two-part agenda to upgrade the nation’s infrastructure and substantially expand the social safety net, contained in his American Jobs Plan and American Families

If Donald Trump faces criminal charges, analysts doubt it will hurt him with his base in 2024

WASHINGTON – When Republicans talk about whether  Donald Trump will run for president again in 2024 , many hasten to add it may depend on a big unknown: his legal troubles Could an indicted ex-president still lead a political party? No one knows, but some Republicans are increasingly discussing the possibility. Criminal charges would, at the very least, create political problems for Trump, but allies and analysts said they would not necessarily prevent him from  campaigning for Republicans in 2022 congressional races  and even  pursuing another presidential campaign in 2024 . "None of this matters," pollster Frank Luntz said. "It doesn't matter for his decision making or for anyone who votes for him." He added, "It's just so irrelevant."

35 Republicans oppose Donald Trump, vote for bipartisan commission to investigate January 6 Capitol Hill riots

  Washington: Thirty-five House Republicans joined Democrats Wednesday in voting to create a bipartisan commission to investigate the January 6 attack on the Capitol, risking the wrath of former President Donald Trump and flouting GOP leaders who condemned the proposal as unfairly partisan and unneeded. The Republican mavericks were led by New York Rep. John Katko, who wrote the measure with Homeland Security Committee Chairman Bennie Thompson, D-Miss. Katko, that panel's top Republican, was battling two tides that have overwhelmed Congress in recent years: the nearly overwhelming potency Trump still has among Republicans and a jagged-edged partisanship that often confounds even mundane legislation. "I encourage all members,  Republicans and Democrats  alike, to put down their swords for once, just for once, and support this bill," said Katko. A moderate and a former prosecutor, Katko defended the proposed commission as a fair and needed step toward understandin

  HIGHLIGHTS The debris from Long March 5B expected to crash on May 8. China’s largest rocket, the Long March 5B was launched on April 29. It weighs over 20,000 kg and is roughly 30-metre long. Heads up! It's homecoming time for 'out-of-control' debris from the Long March 5B, that blasted off on April 29 from Hainan island.

Chinese experts, according to the official media, are saying that the parts of the disintegrated rocket will fall in international waters. The said r

Backlash after China Weibo post mocks India Covid crisis

  A social media post from an account linked to the Chinese Communist Party has sparked controversy for appearing to mock India over its coronavirus crisis. The post on Chinese site Weibo showed an image of a rocket launch in China alongside a photo of the bodies of Covid victims being cremated in India. Text with it read: "Lighting a fire in China VS lighting a fire in India." The post, which appeared on Saturday afternoon, has since been deleted. It was reportedly published by an account belonging to an official Chinese law enforcement agency - the Communist Party's Central Political and Legal Affairs Commission - which has millions of followers on Weibo, a popular microblogging site in the country. Users responding to the post, which was later shared using screenshots of the original, wrote that it was "inappropriate" and that China "should express sympathy

In their letter dated April 30, the lawmakers said that from a global public health perspective, this waiver is vital to ensuring sufficient volume of and equitable access to COVID-19 vaccines and therapeutics around th
