U.S. President Joe Biden calls for bipartisanship

Biden faces his classified documents scandal and investigations led by House Republicans into the border crisis and alleged corruption by the Biden family

All eyes will be on U.S. President Joe Biden as he delivers his State of the Union address to a joint session of Congress on Tuesday evening.

The speech will be before a new Congress and a new House Speaker, Kevin McCarthy, who will be sitting behind Biden.

This address comes as Biden is facing his classified documents scandal and investigations led by House Republicans into the crisis at the border and alleged corruption by the Biden family.

The Biden administration continues to face sky-high inflation and gas prices, an ever-growing border crisis, a national deficit and according to new polling a majority of American say they’re living paycheck-to-paycheck.

Another headline that has captured the spotlight is Biden’s handling of the infamous Chinese spy balloon with criticism levelled against the President for allowing the spy craft to enter U.S. airspace and travel across the country for a solid week.

Currently, the U.S. Navy is using sonar equipment to collect debris from the Atlantic Ocean from the spy craft and transporting it to an FBI lab for analysis.

It remains to be seen if the President will speak about this international incident or express a harder line against China.

Following President Biden’s SOTU, newly-elected Arkansas Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders has been tapped to deliver the Republican response.

US government reopens after record shutdown, yet deep political rifts and funding uncertainties linger

In Short:
– U.S. government reopens after 43-day shutdown, causing disruption and unpaid federal workers.
– Political divisions persist, with unresolved issues and nearly equal blame for the shutdown on both parties.
The U.S. government is set to reopen following the longest shutdown in history, lasting 43 days.

This shutdown disrupted air travel and food assistance, leaving over 1 million federal workers unpaid.Political divisions remain despite the funding package allowing the government to resume operations. Republican President Donald Trump’s administration continues to challenge Congress on financial matters, and unresolved health subsidies remain a key issue.

Discontent within the Democratic Party is evident, as moderates and liberals disagree on how to handle Trump’s presidency.

Federal employees affected by the shutdown will receive back pay, with payments expected to be completed by Wednesday. While Trump’s administration previously threatened to withhold pay, there are no current indications of this. The deal reached ensures that federal jobs safeguarded during the shutdown are maintained.

Air Travel Normalises

Air traffic is returning to normal after significant disruption during the shutdown.

The Department of Homeland Security announced bonuses for security screeners who worked extra shifts. State funding for food aid programs will be restored shortly, assisting millions of Americans dependent on these resources.

Polling reveals nearly equal blame for the shutdown is placed on both political parties. Upcoming funding decisions pose the threat of repeating the shutdown cycle as concerns about national debt persist.
