Democrats are eyeing the wrong approach to Tuberville’s blanket hold

Senators are again blaming the Senate's rules for an impasse they created. According to reports, Sen.

White House goes all in on ‘Bidenomics’

President Biden is attempting to coin a term central to his economic message in 2024: “Bidenomics,” using the slogan to highlight the work his administration has done to turn the economy around while differentiating his agenda from Republicans.

The president is set to tout his own economic agenda to argue that building the economy from the bottom up and the middle out is working. He has often said he is tired of trickle-down economics, which was part of former President Reagan...
