WASHINGTON—The discovery of classified documents in an office used by President Biden after he left the vice presidency has brought attention, and House Republican scrutiny, to a little-known Washington think tank where Mr. Biden had set up operations in between his posts in the White House. The Penn Biden Center for Diplomacy and Global Engagement, located in a building with a commanding view of the U.S. Capitol, was a key element of Mr. Biden’s initial plans for his post-government career, sketched out in part by his son, Hunter Biden . The elder Mr. Biden and university leaders envisioned it as a place to convene foreign-policy thinkers, spur debates on global affairs, develop leaders and plan speeches and events, according to their public remarks.

☆ Biden’s Picks for Some Ambassador Posts Remain Stalled
  + stars: | 2022-12-28 | by ( Annie Linskey | Ken Thomas | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: 1 min
WASHINGTON—President Biden is set to enter the third year of his presidency with more than two dozen ambassador slots unfilled, including vacancies in the strategically important countries of India and Saudi Arabia, despite a late surge of confirmations this past month. The White House is on track to have more top foreign representatives in place than former President Donald Trump did at this point in his term, but fewer than former presidents George W. Bush or Barack Obama . Leaving posts open could reduce U.S. influence and make it more difficult for the president to put his stamp on foreign policy, at a moment when countries increasingly feel pressure to pick sides in the intensifying rivalry between the U.S. and China.

For tax year 2020, the IRS determined that Mr. Biden and his wife, Jill, were owed an additional refund, White House spokesman Andrew Bates said. For 2021, which the Bidens filed in April 2022, the couple paid an extra $13 after the audit, Mr. Bates said.
☆ The White House wants to entice Americans back to work by giving them more benefits
  + stars: | 2022-12-22 | by ( Jason Lalljee | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +4 min
A top Biden economist said the president is looking to fix the labor shortage by making it easier to get back to work. That includes giving people childcare options and lowering "costs for consumers." Deese is also referencing the high inflation that the Federal Reserve is fighting to curb, and that Americans are struggling to keep up with, adding that the White House will potentially take administrative actions to reduce the price of housing. Deese was not specific about what White House economists' plans would be beyond that, but he suggested childcare was key to making sure that parents would be able to work. Such provisions may be hard for Biden to pull off after losing control of the House to Republicans this year.

White House economic officials expect to brief President Biden on their thoughts over the holiday break as the administration shapes its agenda for 2023 and plans for Mr. Biden’s State of the Union address.
