He hopes that combining all of these issues into one piece of legislation will create the necessary coalition for congressional approval. His speech came the day after his high-stakes trip to Israel, where he showed solidarity with the country after the Oct. 7 attack by Hamas and pushed for more humanitarian assistance to Palestinians. The top two senators negotiating an immigration deal cautioned yesterday that the clock is ticking and they may not be able to reach an agreement this week before the Senate is scheduled to adjourn for the rest of the year.

Trump on Trial

Both communities in the Riverside-San Bernardino metropolitan area saw home values dip about 17% in the last year. “In Trona, you’re talking about 115-degree summers, but people adjust and they get through,” Berri said. Mining production increased and the town boomed to 6,000 people at its height. But as the nearby town of Ridgecrest grew and the mining company shrunk, Trona withered. After adding 12 this year, California accounts for 210 of the country’s 550 cities where the typical home value is more than $1 million, according to an analysis by Zillow. “It’s gone downhill, but it seems to be coming back a bit,” Epperly, 80, said of the once-bustling town, built on the mining and production of borax, a potent cleaner, flame retardant and component in glass products like car windshields.

McConnell says Tucker Carlson, Trump, behind delayed Ukraine aid

As President Biden held a news conference to tout his administration's achievements during his first year in office, Democratic Sen. Joe Manchin criticized his party over their push to end the filibuster in order to advance legislation on voting rights. “His sharp insights perfectly meet this remarkable time of divided politics, and a presidential campaign careening toward a rematch,” she added. “His smart brand of comedy and keen observation will turn up the heat on the national news media and across the political spectrum. Already looking past the meeting, Biden on Wednesday is to go to Westchester County, New York, where he plans to deliver a speech on how proposed spending cuts approved by House Republicans could hurt teachers, older adults needing food aid and veterans seeking health care.

Zelenskyy said that Ukrainians were being tortured, raped and killed and that giving up territory was tantamount to "giving up our people." "We have our people there. We have our families there. We have our children there. That's a part of Ukrainian society, and we are talking about human beings." He said that Ukraine will become a NATO member once all allies agree and conditions are met but that now the U.S. needed to make sure Ukraine wins the war. Zelenskyy said in a Fox News interview that his meeting with Biden and lawmakers on Capitol Hill was "very constructive" and that he heard "positive voices from both parties." Biden did, however, express empathy for the lives lost amid the withdrawal. Citing the weekly spending of nearly one billion dollars to keep American forces in the state, Biden noted what he called no possibility at a peaceful resolution.

Zelenskyy: Ukraine is 'moving in the right direction'

Zelenskyy said during remarks at the White House that Ukraine is "gradually becoming less dependent on aid" and "moving in the right direction," according to a pool report. Vance also reiterated that he believes “there will be negotiation” and Ukraine should be willing to give up at least some of its territory to end the war, which began in February 2022. "Ukraine will emerge from this war, proud, free and firmly rooted in the West, unless we walk away," Biden said. Zelenskyy highlighted his country's fight for freedom, arguing that the freedom of one country affects others.

The move comes five days before Mr. Trump, who endorsed Mr. Rogers for the seat, returns to the battleground state for a rally in Freeland, Mich. The R.N.C. did not propose an alternative location for the demonstration zone in the letter, instead suggesting that the Secret Service expand the security perimeter to move protesters away from the area. The three-page letter, signed by Todd R. Steggerda, counsel to the Republican National Committee, objected to the placement of an area where protesters would be allowed to demonstrate. Mr. Steggerda argued that convention attendees would be forced to pass by the protesters on their way into the venue, raising the potential for confrontations. Shawn Fain, the president of the United Automobile Workers, announced late on Friday night a tentative contract at Daimler Truck in North Carolina that appears to have stopped a strike that was scheduled to begin at midnight.

Biden’s previous request for funding, which included $24 billion to help with the next few months of fighting, was stripped out of budget legislation last month despite a personal plea from Zelenskyy. Biden faces an array of steep challenges as he tries to secure the money. The House remains in chaos because the Republican majority has been unable to select a speaker to replace Rep. Kevin McCarthy, who was ousted more than two weeks ago.

“These are two separate and unrelated conflicts and it would be wrong to leverage support of aid to Israel in an attempt to get additional aid for Ukraine across the finish line,” they wrote in a letter. However, there are disagreements within the Senate, too, on how to move forward. Eight Republicans, led by Kansas Sen. Roger Marshall, said they did not want to combine assistance for Ukraine and Israel in the same legislation. The Democratic Senate plans to move quickly on Biden’s proposal, hoping that it creates pressure on the Republican-controlled House to resolve its leadership drama and return to legislating. There are rumbles of disagreement within Biden’s administration as well. Josh Paul, a State Department official who oversaw the congressional liaison office dealing with foreign arms sales, resigned over U.S. policy on weapons transfers to Israel.

He continued, "But rather judge what we'll get done and not get done, all I can say is I'll continue to make the case why it's so important to not turn electoral process over to political persons set up to change the outcome of elections." Biden said his third change would be engaging more with Democrats during the midterm elections. Biden said his second change would be consulting a wider range of advice from people outside the White House. A Ukrainian official told CNN’s Matthew Chance he is “shocked that the US President Biden would distinguish between incursion and invasion” and suggest that a minor incursion would not trigger sanctions but an invasion would. Psaki continued by noting that the president "knows from long experience that the Russians have an extensive playbook of aggression short of military action, including cyberattacks and paramilitary tactics."

It’s an army town named after a World War II-era captain and home to a military storage facility. These towns represent islands of affordability in a state where the median home price is $789,000. California is home to 210 cities, towns and communities monitored by Zillow where the median home values are more than $1 million. For the last 30 years, Ann Epperly has lived in Trona, one of only nine California cities, towns and unincorporated areas tracked by Zillow with median home values under $150,000 in February 2024.
