☆ House Speaker Johnson announces 'standalone' Israel funding package
  + stars: | 2024-02-03 | by ( Rebecca Picciotto | ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: +1 min
Speaker of the House Mike Johnson (R-LA) holds a news conference following a caucus meeting at the U.S. Capitol Visitors Center on January 30, 2024 in Washington, DC. House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., on Saturday announced an Israel-only funding package to be voted on next week, a huge step in the deadlocked negotiations over emergency aid that President Joe Biden initially proposed in October. "Next week, we will take up and pass a clean, standalone Israel supplemental package," the speaker wrote in a "Dear Friends" letter. This bill separates aid to Israel from Ukraine, Taiwan and the U.S. southern border, all of which were linked in Biden's original $105 billion aid proposal. But disagreements over how to address the U.S. border and whether to fund Ukraine's defense against Russia stalled the passage of Biden's October aid package.

In Syria, the strikes killed 23 people who had been guarding the targeted locations, said Rami Abdulrahman, director of the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, an organization that reports on war in Syria. The White House said the United States had informed Iraq ahead of strikes. Baghdad later accused the United States of deception, saying a U.S. claim of coordination with the Iraqi authorities was "unfounded". The Syrian foreign ministry said the United States was fueling conflict in the region in a "very dangerous way". Britain called the United States its "steadfast" ally and said it supports Washington's right to respond to attacks.

☆ Sen. Sherrod Brown received an extra property tax credit and racked up penalties for late payments
  + stars: | 2023-05-03 | by ( Henry J. Gomez | ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: +6 min
Sen. Sherrod Brown, D-Ohio, for years claimed an owner-occupancy tax credit at two properties, public records show — a potential violation of the state's rules governing such incentives. Responding to questions from NBC News, Brown and Schultz this week paid a $390 penalty stemming from their most recent late payment. Brown will no longer accept the owner-occupancy credit on the Columbus property, according to his campaign. Franklin County tax records available online show no late payments or penalties for Brown's Columbus condo — purchased in 2014 — over the last four years. Ohio schools are heavily reliant on property tax revenue, and late payments affect their accounting.
☆ Republicans take control of the House, NBC News projects
  + stars: | 2022-11-16 | by ( Kevin Breuninger | ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: +4 min
Republicans will take majority control of the House, NBC News projects, ousting Democrats from key positions of power and complicating President Joe Biden's legislative hopes for the remainder of his term. Despite his weakened standing in the Republican Party, Trump on Tuesday night launched his 2024 presidential campaign. McCarthy won in a 188-31 vote, NBC reported, signaling that the narrow Republican majority in the next Congress may grapple with internal divisions. But it wasn't enough for Democrats to keep their grip on a narrow House majority. Biden's low approval ratings hardly helped Democrats in tough House and Senate races, forcing some to distance themselves from the administration.
☆ Republicans endorse McCarthy for U.S. House speaker, a crucial test for the embattled GOP leader
  + stars: | 2022-11-15 | by ( Christina Wilkie | ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: +1 min
House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) talks briefly with reporters before heading into House Republican caucus leadership elections in the U.S. Capitol Visitors Center on November 15, 2022 in Washington, DC. WASHINGTON — Republican House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy won the support of a majority of his own caucus Tuesday in an internal party election to choose its nominee for Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives. In order to formally become Speaker of the House in the new Congress that takes power in January, McCarthy will need to win at least 218 votes in the full House of Representatives. Typically, the chosen nominee of the party that holds the majority would win this full House vote for Speaker, but it's not guaranteed. McCarthy has been preparing to assume the Speaker's gavel since shortly after Election Day, when he announced "transition teams" made up of his allies to smooth the GOP takeover of the House majority.
