US President Joe Biden has launched an attack against big corporations and the super-rich during an address about his economic agenda

It comes as Democrats work hard to pull the big-spending packages across the line in Congress.

The president has long called for reforms around the amount of tax wealthy Americans pay, saying it is “long overdue”.

During his address, Biden also reiterated that he is a capitalist himself, but he’s asking the upper class to pay their “fair share”.

Democrats are currently focused on passing both the $3.5 trillion spending package along with the bipartisan infrastructure bill which recently passed through the Senate.

This comes as moderate party members Joe Manchin and Kyrsten Sinema met with the administration this week, demanding the larger package be scaled back.

Meanwhile, in his address, Biden asked how it is possible that “the wealthiest billionaires in the country can entirely escape paying income taxes on what they make?”

Israel and Hamas agree to release hostages in U.S.-brokered deal, marking a potential turning point in Gaza conflict.

In a major diplomatic breakthrough, Israel and Hamas have agreed to release all remaining Israeli hostages under a U.S.-brokered framework. The deal pairs prisoner exchanges with an Israeli troop pullback and expanded aid access, marking a potential turning point in the two-year Gaza conflict.

The agreement, set for approval by Israel’s cabinet, could pave the way for lasting peace if both sides uphold the terms. It follows weeks of negotiations led by U.S. envoys and regional mediators in Egypt, Qatar, and Türkiye.

As international agencies prepare to facilitate aid and logistics, the world watches to see whether this fragile deal can hold and bring relief to millions affected by the war.
