Debt ceiling: House OKs bill to avoid default, sends Biden-McCarthy deal to Senate

WASHINGTON - Veering away from a default crisis, the House approved a debt ceiling and budget cuts package late Wednesday, as President Joe Biden and Speaker Kevin McCarthy assembled a bipartisan coalition of centrist Democrats and Republicans against fierce conservative blowback and progressive dissent.The hard-fought deal pleased few, but lawmakers assessed it was better than the alternative — a devastating economic upheaval if Congress failed to act. Tensions ran high throughout the day as hard-right Republicans refused the deal, while Democrats said "extremist" GOP views were risking a debt default as soon as next week.With the House vote of 314-117, the bill now heads to the Senate with passage expected by week's end.McCarthy insisted his party was working to "give America hope" as he launched into a late evening speech extolling the bill's budget cuts, which he said were needed to curb Washington's "runaway spending."But amid discontent from Republicans who said the spending restrictions did not go far enough, McCarthy said it is only a "first step."Earlier, Biden expressed optimism that the agreement he negotiated with McCarthy to lift the nation's borrowing limit would pass the chamber and avoid an economically disastrous default on America's debts.The president departed Washington for Colorado, where he is scheduled to deliver the commencement address Thursday at the U.S.

Watch: NASA team holds 1st public meeting on UFO study ahead of report

unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAPs) – or more commonly referred to as UFOs – is holding its first public meeting on Wednesday ahead of an expected report later this year.UAPs are defined as observations of events in the sky that cannot be identified as aircraft or known natural phenomena. The study team, first announced last year, is made up of 16 experts across a diverse field, including those in astrophysics, astrobiology, engineering and even a former astronaut.Over the course of nine months, the team is tasked with "identifying available data, how best to collect future data, and how NASA can use that data to move the scientific understanding of UAPs forward."The panel is due to publish a report on its findings this summer. The purpose of Wednesday’s four-hour public meeting, which is being streamed on the space agency’s website, is to hold final deliberations before the agency’s independent study team publishes that report, NASA said.FILE - The silhouette of a NASA employee is seen past the NASA logo in the Webb Auditorium at NASA headquarters in Washington, DC, on June 7, 2022.

WASHINGTON - President Joe Biden and House Speaker Kevin McCarthy will meet face to face Monday after a weekend of on again, off again negotiations over raising the nation's debt ceiling and mere days before the government could reach a "hard deadline" and run out of cash to pay its bills.The two sides are working to reach a budget compromise before June 1, when Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen has said the country could default.McCarthy and Republicans are insisting on spending cuts in exchange for raising the debt limit. Biden has come to the negotiating table after balking for months but says the GOP lawmakers will have to back off their "extreme positions."On Sunday evening, negotiators met again and appeared to be narrowing on a 2024 budget year cap that could resolve the standoff.

It will be used to transport astronauts to the lunar surface as early as 2029, following a pair of crew landings by Elon Musk’s SpaceX.NASA will get astronauts to lunar orbit using its own rockets and capsules, but wants private companies to take over from there.NASA Administrator Bill Nelson said the agency wants different landing options as it seeks a return to the moon more than a half-century after the end of the Apollo moonshots.Blue Origin is kicking in billions of dollars, on top of the NASA contract, to help establish a permanent presence on the moon."We have a lot to do before we successfully land and return astronauts," said John Couluris, a Blue Origin vice president.Two years ago, Blue Origin sued after NASA awarded SpaceX the contract for the first lunar landing.

Supreme Court Justice Gorsuch: COVID emergency orders are among `greatest intrusions on civil liberties'

WASHINGTON (AP) - The Supreme Court got rid of a pandemic-related immigration case with a single sentence.Justice Neil Gorsuch had a lot more to say, leveling harsh criticism of how governments, from small towns to the nation's capital, responded to the gravest public health threat in a century.The justice, a 55-year-old conservative who was President Donald Trump's first Supreme Court nominee, called emergency measures taken during the COVID-19 crisis that killed more than 1 million Americans perhaps "the greatest intrusions on civil liberties in the peacetime history of this country."He pointed to orders closing schools, restricting church services, mandating vaccines and prohibiting evictions. His broadside was aimed at local, state and federal officials — even his colleagues."Executive officials across the country issued emergency decrees on a breathtaking scale," Gorsuch wrote in an eight-page statement Thursday that accompanied an expected Supreme Court order formally dismissing a case involving the use of the Title 42 policy to prevent asylum seekers from entering the United States.The policy was ended last week with the expiration of the public health emergency first declared more than three years ago because of the coronavirus pandemic.From the start of his Supreme Court tenure in 2017, Gorsuch, a Colorado native who loves to ski and bicycle, has been more willing than most justices to part company with his colleagues, both left and right.He has mainly voted with the other conservatives in his six years as a justice, joining the majority that overturned Roe v.

The Health Tests You Need at Age 30, 40 and 50

Keeping track of when to start screening for health issues from cancer to cholesterol can be confusing—not least because guidelines for some of the biggest tests have changed in recent years. Earlier this month, a government-backed panel of experts lowered the age at which they recommend women start getting mammograms to 40, down from the prior recommendation of 50. And many 40-somethings don’t realize they are now supposed to start getting colorectal cancer screenings at 45, even though that same expert panel lowered its recommendation from age 50 two years ago.

132K Jeep Cherokee SUVs recalled over fire risk – here's what to know

WASHINGTON - Chrysler-parent Stellantis has recalled more than 132,000 Jeep Cherokee vehicles over the risk of fire, telling owners to park their SUVs outside in the meantime.The recall, announced on Tuesday, impacts certain model year 2014-2016 Jeep Cherokee vehicles, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said.An electrical short in the power liftgate module could lead to a vehicle fire with the ignition on or off, according to a notice from the NHTSA. The recall affects 132,099 vehicles previously repaired during a 2015 recall."Owners should park their vehicles outside and away from structures and other vehicles until the recall has been remedied," a notice from the NHTSA reads. "According to the manufacturer, that remedy is currently under development."A power liftgate is a motorized hatch that opens and closes electronically and can be activated by pressing or holding a button inside the car, key fob, or the hatch itself, as Motor Trends explains. The liftgate module on the recalled Jeep Cherokee vehicles has a spot that could allow water to leak inside, recall documents state.
