YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Secretary of State Antony Blinken and Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin before the Senate Appropriations Committee defend the Biden Administration's $100 billion dollar emergency aid request for Israel, Ukraine, Indo-Pacific and U.S. border security.

New House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) pushes ahead with a plan to vote on a stand alone bill with only aid to Israel, and to have that money offset by cuts to IRS funding, something Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) again rejected today.

Senate confirms former Treasury Secretary Jack Lew to be the next U.S. Ambassador to Israel by a vote 53-43.

Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas gets questions at another Senate hearing about the rise of anti-Semitism in the U.S, on college campuses and elsewhere, with the ongoing war between Israel and Hamas.

President Joe Biden announces a proposal to target when a financial advisor recommends a retirement plan investment, not because it benefits the saver, but because the advisor gets a big commission. It is the latest in what the president calls "junk fees".

The Supreme Court takes up two cases concerning when public officials can block their constituent critics on social media accounts that may be used for some official business but are mostly personal.

We will hear some of the Supreme Court oral argument and talk with The Hill's Courts and Legal Affair Reporter Zach Schonfeld. (37)
