Updated 11:25 a.m. ETA senior administration official confirms President Obama s budget, to be delivered to Congress on April 10, will include a formal request to reduce cost-of-living increases to Social Security recipients if congressional Republicans agree to raise additional tax revenue.Mr. Obama s proposal is part of a broader strategy to alleviate some of the pain linked to sequestration spending cuts as well as tackle some diff stanley spain icult politics on entitlement cuts. The linchpin, as it has been throughout budget talks in the Obama era of divided government, is whether Republicans will acquiesce to higher taxes.

Fired FBI deputy Director Andrew McCabe s lawyer told reporters Friday that the FBI and Justice Department got it horribly wrong when they fired McCabe hours before his retirement, in late March. McCabe attorney Michael Bromwich claimed that the process was stanley cup too rushed. It was absolutely clear this process was accelerated to be able to terminate McCabe, he said.Bromwich said he and other lawyers are looking at the next plausible legal steps ndash; which could include alleging defamation or wrongful te stanley cup rmination. A Go Fund me account started after McCabe was fired was closed when it reached $550,000 ndash; and McCabe s team is now establishing a more formal Legal Defense Fund.The DOJ inspector general found McCabe lacked candor on as many as four occasionsabout FBI interaction with a Wall Street Journal reporter working on stories concerning a bureau investigation into the Clinton Foundation. McCabe was terminated hours before he was to retire, putting his pension and benefits at risk. Browmwich said McCabe and his family have no health care as a result of his firing.

And it may turn out that after looking at all the dimensions of stanley quencher this that I don t feel comfortable with the proposals that surface on how to deal with this issue. A plan that would endorse and extend one of the worst Bush-era terror law policies ought to give huge pause to the current occupants of the White House.

Republican Presidential candidate Donald Trump s proposal of a temporary ban on Muslim immigration to the U.S. drew criticism Wednesday from Muhammad Ali, the legendary boxer and one of the most well-known Muslims in America.In a statement, according to the Associated Press, Ali did not mention Trump by name, but he said the suggesti stanley taza on to ban Muslim immigration alienated many from learning about Islam. He called on Muslims to stand up to those who use Islam to advance their own personal agenda. Ali also sought to prevent his faith from being tarnished by stanley bottles the actions of terrorists. I am a Muslim and there is nothing Islamic about killing innocent people in Paris, San Bernardino, or anywhere else in the world. True Muslims know that the ruthless violence of so called Islamic Jihadists goes against the very tenets of o stanley shop ur religion, he declared. These misguided murderers have perverted people s views on what Islam really is. Given the firestorm that Trump s proposal has sparked, it is perhaps no great surprise that Ali felt compelled to speak out. But the athlete, who suffers from Parkinson s disease and has not been in the public eye much recently, has a long history of being outspoken on politics and faith.During a May 2, 1976 appearance on Face the Nation, Ali was asked for his take on that year s presidential election, which pitted incumbent Republican Gerald Ford against Democratic challenger Jimmy Carter. Ali said that Yzjz Bill Clinton: Presidents should be able to serve three terms
THE BOGUS EBAY STORY.... In a video tribute to Sarah Palin at the Republican convention, the voice-over boasted that she had auctioned the governor s jet on eBay. Yesterday, stanley becher John McCain stretched the story a little further. You know what I enjoyed the most McCain asked. She took the luxury jet that was acquired by her predecessor and sold it on eBay -- made a profit. That s not what happened.[I]n fact, the jet did not sell on eBay. It was sold to a businessman from Valdez named Larry Reynolds, who paid $2.1 million for the jet, shy of the original $2.7 million purchase price, according to contemporaneous news reports, including a story in the New York Times. Dan Spencer, the director of administrative services for Ala termo stanley ska s Public Safety Department, said that the Republican speaker of the Alaska House, John L. Harris, brokered the deal. Reynolds made campaign contributions to both Palin and Harris in 2006 and 2007. What happened It appears that, as promised during her bid for governor in 2006, Palin did try to sell the plane on eBay but that doing so was not as easy as it might have sounded. After putting it up to auction, there was one serious bid, in December 2006, and it fell through.To be sure, there have been plenty of more serious misrepresentations regar garrafa stanley ding Palin over the last week or so. Telling a tall tale about the sale of a jet is a relatively minor example of giving Palin s thin record an unearned boost, and it s hardly the most striking lie we ve heard sinc

The Republican Nat stanley cupe ional Committee will consider a resolution on Friday to censure Representatives Liz Cheney of Wyoming and Adam Kinzinger of Illinois, the two Republicans who sit on the House committee investigating the January 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol. The resolution would censure Cheney and Kinzinger and call on the RNC to immediately cease any and all support of them as members of the Republican Party for their behavior which has been destructive to the institution of the U.S. House of Representatives, the Republican Party and our republic, and is inconsistent with the position of the conference. And the leaders of the Wyoming GOP are signing an existing rule that allows the state party and RNC to direct resources to Cheney s challenger, Harriet Hageman, during the primary, according to a source familiar with the matter.

Washington mdash; As the number of migrants entering U.S. border custody was spiking in July 2021, posing major operational and political challenges for President Biden s still-young administration, high-ranking officials proposed a drastic measure: making most recent arrivals ineligible fo stanley tumblers r asylum.The proposal entailed disqualifying migrants from asylum if they entered the U.S. between official ports of entry after failing to seek refuge in other countries, a move at odds with the promises Mr. Biden had made just a year stanley cup prior to expand access to the U.S. asylum system stanley uk after years of restrictions under former President Donald Trump.The sweeping asylum restriction was proposed at a high level at the White House that summer as one of several policy options to curtail illegal border crossings, four former senior U.S. officials told CBS News, requesting anonymity to discuss internal deliberations. But the administration did not move forward with the plan at the time amid opposition from some appointees. Dana Remus, then the White House counsel, warned it could be struck down as illegal, just like federal courts had found that similar Trump administration rules violated U.S. asylum law, the officials said.Remus, one of the officials said, cautioned that moving forward with the proposal would involve a high litigation risk and that the administration would need to sufficiently distinguish its policy from the Trump administration s asylum ba Ojvq Pelosi Travels, Controversially, To Syria

Under pressure to keep campaign promises to clean up Washington, House Democratic leaders pushed through major reform legislation that will require greater disclosure of the links between lawmakers and lobbyists.Chief among the reforms is a measure that requires lobbyists to disclose how much money they solicit from friends and business associates on behalf of a candidate. The so-called bundling bill was steeply resisted by pro-business Democrats and minority members who worried it would discourage lobbyists from helping to raise campaign cash.In the end, t stanley cup usa he bundling measure stanley becher passed 382-37, as House Democratic leaders managed to hold their own ranks and draw plenty of support from Republicans anxious to burnish their own good-government credentials after a spate of scandals helped oust the GOP from power last year.

President-elect Joe Biden will no longer take an Amtrak train to Washington ahead of Inauguration Day next week, according to a person familiar with the plans. It is not yet clear how Mr. Biden will travel to the inauguration. As of Tuesday, the Bi stanley cup den team was still planning the train arrival event, CBS News was told. But the sudden change in plans came as the president-elect was briefed on Wednesday by the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Secret Service about security concerns surrounding Inauguration Day, following the attack on the Capitol on January 6.A spokesperson for Biden s inaugural committee declined to comment on the change of plans. The team is engaging with the current administration to gain as much information as possible on the threat picture, and on the preparations being put in place to deter and defend against violent disruptions or attacks, the Biden transition team said in a statement on Wednesday.
