The $17.6 billion Israel aid bill was shot down by
a vote of 250-180 on Feb.
6, Politico reports.
.
While close to four dozen Democrats approved the measure, over a dozen Republicans voted against it.
.
The White House has called the move a "cynical political maneuver" as Republicans have rejected a border security-foreign aid deal brought by the Senate.
.
It's just a political stunt by the
Republicans and the speaker.
This political stuff does not include
any humanitarian assistance, Rep.
Rosa DeLauro (D-Conn.), ranking member of the Appropriations Committee, via statement.
An Israel aid bill that included IRS cuts
was cleared by the House in November
but lost traction in the Senate.

Israel and our own citizens, Speaker Mike Johnson alongside Amir Ohana,
speaker of the Israeli Knesset, via statement.
Rep.
Steny Hoyer previously asked
Speaker Mike Johnson to bring foreign assistance bills to the floor individually.
Not putting humanitarian aid in this bill is a
despicable continuation of Republican policy,
which says to the American people and the
rest of the world: You're on your own, Rep.
Steny Hoyer (D-Md.), via statement.
Progressives also want support for Palestinians, Politico reports.

There's no conditions on any aid and there's
horrific stuff going on.
There's no Ukraine
aid in here.

Susie Wiles, a seasoned political strategist, has made history as the first woman named Donald Trump’s White House Chief of Staff. With decades of experience, including roles in Reagan’s campaign and Trump’s 2016 victory, Wiles is known for her ability to manage high-stakes campaigns and earn trust. However, with Trump’s history of four chiefs of staff during his first term, questions arise about her potential longevity in this demanding role.

The House passed a stopgap funding bill to avert a government shutdown just hours before the midnight deadline. The bill extends funding through March 2025, providing disaster relief and farm aid, but excludes the debt limit suspension demanded by President-elect Trump. The bill now moves to the Senate for approval before being sent to President Biden. Speaker Mike Johnson and other Republicans worked to secure Democratic support, while Trump’s opposition led to changes in the bill's provisions.

Bernie Sanders has sharply criticized Elon Musk for his defense of the H-1B visa program, which allows U.S. companies to hire foreign workers for skilled positions. Sanders argues that the program helps replace well-paying American jobs with cheaper labor from abroad, benefiting billionaires like Musk. The senator calls for an end to the program to ensure that U.S. workers are prioritized and that corporations no longer rely on cheaper foreign labor. This ongoing debate highlights the clash between immigration policy, corporate interests, and American workers' rights.

Donald Trump’s claimed role in brokering a Gaza ceasefire has intensified Arab American frustration with President Biden. Many feel Biden failed to secure peace despite months of opportunity, while Trump’s intervention seemingly pushed Israel to agree. The ceasefire, set to begin Sunday, follows pressure on Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu by Trump’s envoy. Arab American voters, particularly in Michigan, express anger over Biden’s handling of the war, branding him “Genocide Joe” and questioning Democratic support for Palestinian rights. Skepticism remains over the ceasefire’s durability.

Donald Trump’s controversial proposal to purchase Greenland from Denmark has sparked intense debate across the United States. The former president, citing national security reasons, revived the idea in his latest political moves, despite the pushback from many corners. A recent USA TODAY poll reveals that only 11% of Americans fully support the idea, while 29% think it's a good but unrealistic notion. In stark contrast, 53% of respondents opposed the plan, with the division deepening across party lines — 86% of Democrats rejected the proposal, while only 23% of Republicans supported it. The idea has met widespread opposition, with many questioning its feasibility and the long-term implications of such a move.

The Pacific Palisades wildfire continues to wreak havoc in Los Angeles County, with thousands of homes destroyed and residents forced to evacuate. Amid the disaster, a political blame game has erupted between President-elect Donald Trump and California Governor Gavin Newsom.

Elon Musk has backed the idea that President-elect Donald Trump should have the authority to fire any official in the executive branch, excluding the vice president. This notion was voiced by Utah Senator Mike Lee, who believes the president should be able to remove any employee at any time for any reason. The discussion arose amidst reports of Trump's plans to make unconventional personnel changes, including firing officials with fixed terms like the FBI Director and IRS Commissioner, positions that traditionally remain unchanged during transitions. Experts note that while uncommon, the president holds the legal power to make such changes.
