FOMC members wanted the Fed to hike rates by 50 basis points last month

The House tries to save DC Democrats from themselves

THE HOUSE TRIES TO SAVE DC DEMOCRATS FROM THEMSELVES. The relationship between Congress and the local government in the District of Columbia is long and complicated. It goes back to the Constitution. The founders created the district specifically as the home of the new federal government. The idea was to create a new seat of government that was not in any state and not beholden to any state and not subject to the control of any state.

Democrats complain that Biden is even considering restricting illegal immigration

One is the Ningde, China-based Contemporary Amperex Technology in Marshall. The other is with the Hefei, China-based Guoxuan High-Tech (Gotion) in Mecosta County.

DeSantis drives Democrats crazy on school libraries

The Left and its media allies are now issuing a continuous stream of falsehoods about Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL).
