Michigan Supreme Court sends bills to Whitmer, who stuns with surprise vetoes

She said she would be willing to work with legislators on new versions of the bills. 

 “House Republicans spent the last 18 months sitting on these bills, spending taxpayer dollars on costly lawsuits, and creating unnecessary uncertainty and preventing action on issues that matter to Michigan families,” she said. “These bills would have lowered costs for Michiganders and strengthened public safety. Had the House presented these bills to me in a timely manner, as the Constitution requires, today would have looked much different.”..

US vetoes resolution for unconditional Gaza ceasefire at UN security council | Israel-Gaza war | The Guardian

"This Israeli government's decisions to expand its military operations in Gaza and severely restrict aid are unjustifiable, disproportionate and counterproductive," she said. "And the UK completely opposes them." 

Other security council members criticised the US for the veto. Pakistan's ambassador to the UN said the failed resolution would "remain not only a moral stain on the conscience of this council, but a fateful moment of political application that will reverberate for generations."…

White House issues veto threat of House GOP defense bill | The Hill

The administration "strongly opposes" the House version of the bill, according to the statement. It outlined that when Biden and Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) negotiated a debt limit deal in May, the agreement "held spending for non-defense programs roughly flat with FY 2023 levels, a compromise that protected vital programs Americans rely on from draconian cuts House Republicans proposed." 

This bill, the statement said, cuts domestic spending below the agreement and the White accused Republicans of "wasting time with partisan bills." 

…The deal from May also protected Biden's top legislative accomplishments, like the Inflation Reduction Act, the PACT Act, the CHIPS and Science Act, and the infrastructure law. But, the House defense appropriations bill includes provisions that would repeal parts of the Inflation Reduction Act, according to the statement.

Responsible investing requires deep consideration of the myriad of risks and opportunities companies face both now and in the future. Congress' efforts to overturn this rule would have blocked a vital tool for retirement plan managers to maximize returns and minimize risk for their clients. We must protect Americans' hard-earned savings from the politicians looking to benefit from a headline."…

Republican says they had to lie about vote to Democrats at 9/11 ceremonies — or 'the terrorists win' - Raw Story

Republicans in the North Carolina House of Representatives have come under furious criticism for a vote overriding Democratic Gov. Roy Cooper's veto of their budget bill, which blocks Medicaid expansion and underfunds public schools. Particularly at issue is the way they passed it — in a surprise morning vote, with half the Democratic lawmakers busy attending 9/11 memorial services, after promising Democrats that it was okay to skip the morning session because no votes would be held there.....
