WASHINGTON, May 13 (Reuters) - President Joe Biden said on Saturday that talks with Congress on raising the U.S. government's debt limit were moving along and more will be known about their progress in the next two days.

The Treasury Department says it could run out of money by June 1 unless lawmakers lift the nation's debt ceiling.

Donald Trump's formal arraignment in Manhattan criminal court sent House Republicans into a tizzy. Stretton wondered about House Republicans' attempt to defang state prosecutors they consider to be political persecutors. "It's hard to say what overstepping bounds are any more," Davis told Insider. "When you defend somebody before you've even seen the indictment, you're kind of hitching your wagon to all the investigations," Goldberg told Insider. He also warned that spotlight-chasing House Republicans risk drowning in unfinished business at the end of the term by floating new Biden-focused inquiries "every couple of weeks."

☆ Boeing losses mount on troubled Air Force One program
  + stars: | 2022-10-26 | by ( David Shepardson | ) www.reuters.com   time to read: +3 min
Boeing previously booked about $1.1 billion in charges on the program since 2020 and has now racked up $1.9 billion in losses on the $4.3 billion program that is up to three years behind schedule. Trump in 2016 had urged the government to cancel purchase of Boeing's new Air Force One saying it was "ridiculous" and too expensive." The planemaker's ailing defense business Wednesday recorded a $2.8 billion charge for a number of programs, including Air Force One. Boeing said the Air Force One losses were "driven by higher costs to incorporate certain technical requirements, increases to factory modification labor and support engineering, schedule delays and higher supplier costs." Boeing Chief Financial Officer Brian West said labor stability issues for Air Force One "are magnified because of the requirements to get security clearances."
☆ Analysis: Gaffe or insight? Deciphering Biden's unguarded answers
  + stars: | 2022-09-27 | by ( Trevor Hunnicutt | ) www.reuters.com   time to read: +5 min
U.S. President Joe Biden speaks to reporters as he departs for Boston from Joint Base Andrews in Maryland, U.S., September 12, 2022. U.S. President Joe Biden's tendency to ad-lib in impromptu press situations is often referred to in Washington as his "gaffe" problem. After Biden spoke on defending Taiwan in a CBS News "60 Minutes" interview this month, officials quickly said that U.S. policy towards Taiwan is unchanged. His apparent willingness to commit U.S. forces to a battle in Taiwan clears up a long-standing disconnect in U.S. policy towards Taiwan. While Biden's off-the-cuff remarks sometimes reveal deeper truths about his policy or opinions, other times they are simply misleading.
