The funding bill in question aimed to provide $14.3 billion, precisely the amount requested by the President himself. This financia...

  White House Press Briefing  Karine Jean-Pierre is asked Sen. Kyrsten Sinema (I-AZ) leaving the Democratic Party. Here is the part of their conversation from the White House, you can watch the video shown below this article: Reporter : Just two days ago, you said that Warnock's win gave you a little bit more breathing room and a little bit more ability to deliver for the American people. Does Cinema's decision to leave the party take away some of that freaking room? Karine : As you all know, I said that we understand Senator Cinema's decision to register as an independent, but the way that we see it, it does not change the majority or the complexion of what the Democratic majority is going to look like in the Senate. Reporter : Does it impact you? I mean, you're saying that this decision won't change at all how you work with her, or you've said that you expect that, or you have every reason to expect that you will continue to work successfully with Cinema.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) fired at Elon Musk after she claimed her Twitter notifications were not working.  In an Instagram story posted on Wednesday, Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez claimed that her Twitter notifications were no longer working after she criticized Elon Musk.

Musk posted a tweet yesterday with a photo of a sweatshirt sold on the New York Democrats' website for 58 dollars. AOC fired back, saying that her workers are in a union and make a living wage, and proceeds go to, quote, "community investments" like tutoring kids. Ocasio-Cortez delighted in the fact that Musk lashed out at her, saying, quote, "We have a billionaire." That's the American dream right there. In her released video, AOC said: I was at a community event in the Bronx...

  Photo "Donald Trump" by  Dan Scavino A new poll shows that people ot the United States want Republicans in control of Congress. NBC News polls show 46% of the registered voters want a Republican-controlled Congress for the midterms. 44% of the voters want democrats to control US Congress. It is a 2 point margin though. I was a little surprised by that what are you finding? I think that the republicans should be ahead by a lot more given the NBC polling. The Biden-Harris admin already failed to maintain the whole economy, inflation, handling of the Ukraine crisis.  Republicans haven't set a path forward, they are attacking Biden and his plans and saying things aren't going well. But right now, the American people want to hear what they (GOP) are going to do for them to make it better.  As we are going to the midterms, Republicans need to lay out a plan on what we are for. We need to be talking about: What we are going to address inflation? What are we going to ...
