☆ White House announces new steps toward launching its climate corps for young people
  + stars: | 2023-12-19 | by ( Lucas Thompson | ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: +5 min
US President Joe Biden speaks alongside Ritika Shah, award-winner of the first-ever National Climate Assessment Art x Climate competition, about his administrations actions to combat climate change in the Eisenhower Executive Office Building adjacent to the White House in Washington, DC, November 14, 2023. The highly anticipated first steps for the American Climate Corps, or ACC, were shared exclusively with NBC News on Tuesday, as the administration seeks to launch the first cohort by next summer. After facing setbacks in Congress, the Biden administration has unlocked funding to launch its American Climate Corps, a new federal program that looks to employ thousands of young Americans in the clean energy, conservation and climate resilience sectors. The White House now hopes to use funds for climate-minded programs across multiple agencies to carry out the vision of the American Climate Corps. Five states — California, Colorado, Maine, Michigan and Washington — have already launched climate corps programs, and the federal program will lean on them as implementing partners.

☆ Biden administration details plans for $42 bln investment in US internet access
  + stars: | 2023-06-26 | by ( Jarrett Renshaw | ) www.reuters.com   time to read: +3 min
The $42 billion in federal funding under the Broadband Equity Access and Deployment Program is based on a newly released Federal Communications Commission coverage map that details gaps in access. Texas and California - the two most populous U.S. states - top the funding list at $3.1 billion and $1.9 billion, respectively. But other less populous states like Virginia, Alabama and Louisiana cracked the top 10 list for funding due to lack of broadband access. The administration estimates there are some 8.5 million locations in the U.S. that lack access to broadband connections. The lack of broadband access drew attention during COVID shutdowns that forced students into online schooling.

☆ Biden to detail plans for $42 billion investment in US internet access
  + stars: | 2023-06-26 | by ( Jarrett Renshaw | ) www.reuters.com   time to read: +3 min
Zients compared the broadband effort to President Franklin Roosevelt's efforts in 1936 to bring electricity to rural America. The administration estimates there are some 8.5 million locations in the U.S. that lack access to broadband connections. The lack of broadband access drew attention during COVID shutdowns that forced students into online schooling. The Biden administration will say how much of the $42 billion in funding each state will receive under the Broadband Equity Access and Deployment Program, based on a newly-released Federal Communications Commission coverage map that details access gaps. The advisers noted the economy has added more than 13 million jobs since Biden took office, including nearly 800,000 manufacturing jobs.

☆ Could Biden use the 14th Amendment to raise the debt ceiling?
  + stars: | 2023-05-21 | by ( Andy Sullivan Jacqueline Thomsen | Andy Sullivan | Jacqueline Thomsen | ) www.reuters.com   time to read: +4 min
Section Four of 14th Amendment, adopted after the 1861-1865 Civil War, states that the "validity of the public debt of the United States ... shall not be questioned." WHERE DOES THE WHITE HOUSE STAND ON THE 14TH AMENDMENT? HOW WOULD MARKETS REACT IF BIDEN USES THE 14TH AMENDMENT? Administration officials and economists have said that a default triggered by a debt-ceiling breach would roil the world financial system and plunge the United States into recession. That immediate catastrophe might be avoided if Biden invoked the 14th Amendment.

If Congress fails to act, some legal experts say Democratic President Joe Biden has another option to avert a crisis: Invoke the 14th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution to ensure the United States can continue to pay its bills. Section Four of 14th Amendment, adopted after the 1861-1865 Civil War, states that the "validity of the public debt of the United States ... shall not be questioned." HOW WOULD MARKETS REACT IF BIDEN USES THE 14TH AMENDMENT?

☆ Congress was once so closely divided that Republicans lost power after the election when too many congressmen died
  + stars: | 2022-12-18 | by ( Rebecca Cohen | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +2 min
Control of Congress was once so close, Republicans lost power before they ever met in Washington DC. Fourteen representatives-elect died after election day in 1931 and before the start of the new term. The special elections largely went to Democrats, flipping control of the House before the start of the term. Similarly, the 1930 election followed another major economic event: The 1929 stock market crash. With each new special election that took place, the country plunged further into a Depression, giving Democrats an edge to win their races.
