The proposal was described by three people familiar with the details who insisted on anonymity before the official announcement. Jeffries then escorted Zelenskyy to his next meeting, but the Ukrainian president took no questions as he passed a bank of reporters. "I called on Congress to do the right thing — to stand with Ukraine and to stand up for freedom," Biden said. Biden said the U.S. can't and won't let Putin succeed in his war with Ukraine.

But that legislation has no chance in the Democratic Senate and the White House had already threatened to veto it. Pete Hoekstra, the chairman of the Michigan Republican Party and a former longtime House member himself, said in an interview on Friday that there had been rumblings about Mr. Meijer’s exit from the race. “Continuing this campaign only increases the likelihood of a divisive primary that would distract from the essential goal — conservative victories in November,” said Mr. Meijer, who did not immediately respond to requests for further comment on Friday. The letter adds that the two main routes to the arena designated by the Secret Service are adjacent to the park, which would force those heading to the convention to pass by it. And on Friday, Mr. Biden made a surprise visit to “The Howard Stern Show,” hosted by America’s best-known shock jock. The president spoke at length about deeply personal events, showing an emotionally vulnerable side to Mr. Stern’s large audience of middle-class Americans.

McConnell says Tucker Carlson, Trump, behind delayed Ukraine aid

National Security Council spokesman John Kirby speaks about why sending additional aid to Ukraine is critical. “Last night, I got on the phone with Speaker Johnson and urged him to keep the House in session to give a supplemental a chance to come together,” Schumer said. The president also said he had just signed a $200 million Defense Department drawdown of military aid for Ukraine. The Ukrainian president also detailed his recent meetings with U.S. defense companies, as well as officials from the IMF and World Bank. Sen. JD Vance, R-Ohio, yesterday dismissed fears of Russia’s military capabilities under President Vladimir Putin and suggested Ukraine should give up some of its land to end the war. "The White House has put together a bill, but they’re not the ones, it’s not the White House that’s demanding border as part of Ukraine," he added.

While the financial markets have started to show some jitters, the business community has thus far largely avoided backing either side in the showdown and instead called for a deal to be struck. By contrast, the bill that passed the House with Republican votes would achieve $4.5 trillion in deficit savings through cuts in spending, eliminating tax breaks for investing in clean energy, and reversing Biden’s plans to reduce the burdens of student loan debt. Mr. Trump, the presumptive Republican presidential nominee, lost the state to Joseph R. Biden Jr. in 2020, a major blow to his re-election bid in the Midwest bellwether that had helped propel him to the White House in 2016. Several of his allies are facing criminal charges in the fake electors scheme.

"That doesn’t mean it’s not important. And even though we’ve been emphasizing the border, I want to remind everybody of the importance of Ukraine. We heard from the [Ukrainian] president today. He is inspirational." Zelenskyy also said that whoever controls the skies controls the war's duration. The Ukrainian president repeatedly thanked Biden and said American leadership is "crucial" in maintaining unity among other world leaders. President Biden marked his first year in office with an address and news conference from the White House.

Notably, though, the administration has not ruled out a short-term increase in the debt limit that would align the deadline to increase federal borrowing authority with the talks on government spending that must be resolved by Sept. 30.

Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., said today that the Senate hasn't given up on passing supplemental Ukraine aid before the end of the year. But if we don’t stop Putin, it will endanger the freedom of everyone almost everywhere,” Biden said. As Congress considers supplemental funding to Ukraine, Zelenskyy said, "I think that's it's very important not to waste time."

“These are two separate and unrelated conflicts and it would be wrong to leverage support of aid to Israel in an attempt to get additional aid for Ukraine across the finish line,” they wrote in a letter. However, there are disagreements within the Senate, too, on how to move forward. Eight Republicans, led by Kansas Sen. Roger Marshall, said they did not want to combine assistance for Ukraine and Israel in the same legislation. The Democratic Senate plans to move quickly on Biden’s proposal, hoping that it creates pressure on the Republican-controlled House to resolve its leadership drama and return to legislating. There are rumbles of disagreement within Biden’s administration as well. Josh Paul, a State Department official who oversaw the congressional liaison office dealing with foreign arms sales, resigned over U.S. policy on weapons transfers to Israel.

Long Beach police later confirmed that a female victim reported she had been kidnapped by a man but officers later determined that a kidnapping did not actually happen, which is why the driver was initially allowed to leave. A man was arrested after an hours-long standoff Friday night that shut down the 710 and 91 Freeways. As residents across urban California have decamped for more space and affordability in the exurbs, small towns statewide have grown in popularity.

Now, “people are fixing them up and making the community better,” he said. Sonney Berri, a real estate agent in Trona, has seen an uptick in prices since the COVID-19 pandemic, a trend he attributes to homeowners who previously lived close to city centers and sold their homes to buy properties in this unincorporated community in San Bernardino County. Herlong, located along the border with Nevada, 90 miles north of Lake Tahoe, is another town with a low median home value.

The chasm between these opposite postures is fomenting uncertainty that is already roiling financial markets and threatens to turn into a tidal wave that swamps the country’s economy. The president is insisting that raising the debt limit is nonnegotiable, and with spending restraints addressed separately as part of the annual budget process. It will be the last such dinner before the 2024 election, giving the president and members of the press a brief respite from the campaign trail as they participate in a Washington ritual designed to celebrate a free press.

Like seemingly every president before him, he has been irritated by unfavorable coverage of his administration, and has made no secret of that at previous dinners. Acknowledging that “these conflicts can seem far away,” Biden insisted in a rare Oval Office address that they remain “vital for America’s national security” as he prepared to ask Congress for billions of dollars in military assistance for both countries. Ukraine’s president will meet with President Joe Biden at the White House on Tuesday as an aid package with funds for the war-torn country stalls on Capitol Hill amid disagreements over immigration policies. At the same time, Biden was asked about voting rights, specifically about Utah Republican Sen. Mitt Romney's recent remarks, attacking the White House for keeping Republicans out of discussions over election reform. During his news conference marking one year in office, Biden suggested a "minor incursion" by Russia would elicit a lesser response than a full-scale invasion of the country. Some of the state’s lowest median home values — as low as $114,000 —are located near the Oregon border, in the towns of Dorris, Macdoel and Tulelake.

Graffiti described as “hateful” has been painted on campus, the officials said. House Speaker Mike Johnson called Wednesday for the resignation of the university’s president if she can't "bring order to this chaos." Negotiations between protesters and Columbia University officials about clearing the encampment on its lawn that had been extended for 48 hours have been “unstable," said Esha Karam, managing director of Columbia Daily Spectator, citing student organizers. The university closed its campus Wednesday evening as LAPD began arresting demonstrators. At one point during the demonstrations, tensions escalated as protesters refused to relocate and remove their tents and other prohibited items, a university official said. "The university is a private campus and the group had been violating some of their orders. It was a trespass at that point and we assisted with the arrests," Los Angeles Police Captain Kelly Muniz said during a briefing.
