Biden signs bill that averts a government shutdown and brings a close to days of Washington upheaval

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Joe Biden signed a bill into law Saturday that averts a government shutdown, bringing a final close to days of upheaval after Congress approved a temporary funding plan just past the deadline and refused President-elect Donald Trump’s core debt demands in the package. The deal funds the government at current levels through March 14 and provides $100 billion in disaster aid and $10 billion in agricultural assistance to farmers. “This agreement represents a compromise, which means neither side got everything […]

White House starts scrapping pending regulations on student debt

President Joe Biden is abandoning his efforts to provide some protections for transgender student athletes and cancel student loans for more than 38 million Americans, the first steps in an administration-wide plan to jettison pending regulations to prevent President-elect Donald Trump from retooling them to achieve his own aims. The White House expects to pull back unfinished rules across several agencies if there isn’t enough time to finalize them before Trump takes office. If the proposed regulations were left in their current state, the […]

As Trump bows to billionaire influence with shutdown, Black government workers hang in the balance

After Donald Trump sided with his billionaire ally Elon Musk, urging Republicans to abandon a budget deal with Democrats that would have averted a potential government shutdown, critics warn that the incoming president, seen as influenced by the wealthy class, poses serious socioeconomic harm for Black and other vulnerable Americans.  “He’s playing a very dangerous game with the livelihoods of a lot of workers, particularly a lot of workers from Black and Brown communities,” Democratic strategist Joel Payne said of Trump, who on Wednesday […]

What to know about the debt ceiling debate as a government shutdown looms in Washington

A debate over the debt ceiling is at the center of a dispute over funding that is pushing Washington to the brink of a federal government shutdown. President-elect Donald Trump has demanded that a provision raising or suspending the nation’s debt limit — something that his own party routinely resists — be included in legislation to avert a government shutdown. “Anything else is a betrayal of our country,” Trump said in a statement Wednesday. Republicans quickly complied, including a provision […]

House rejects Trump-backed plan on government shutdown, leaving next steps uncertain

The House rejected President-elect Donald Trump‘s new plan Thursday to fund federal operations and suspend the debt ceiling a day before a government shutdown, as Democrats refused to accommodate his sudden demands and the quick fix cobbled together by Republican leaders. In a hastily convened evening vote punctuated by angry outbursts over the self-made crisis, the lawmakers failed to reach the two-thirds threshold needed for passage — but House Speaker Mike Johnson appeared determined to try again before Friday’s midnight deadline. “We’re going to […]

Progress in Black homeownership is declining, according to the 2024 State of Housing in Black America report, which was commissioned by the National Association of Real Estate Brokers. The past two years have been particularly difficult, but even before 2021, Black homeownership was either falling or stagnant and remains far from its pre-2004 high of nearly 50%. During her tenure as secretary of the Department of Housing and Urban Development under the Biden-Harris administration, Marcia Fudge warned that Black homeownership […]
