CBS From CBS News Fernando Suarez:PHILADELPHIA -Hillary Clinton continues campaigning in Pennsylvania today as part of her Solutions For the American Economy Tour, or as some in her campaign have referred to it, the Econopalooza Tour. Clinton is expected to focus on the country s aging infrastructure, according a campaign source. In several speeches here, Clinton has mentioned the importance of replacing old bridges and roads, primarily due to the fact that earlier this month in Philadelphia, Interstate 95 was closed down due to cracks in a concrete support pillar. The heavily traveled road was shut down for two days causing gridlock in the city. Clinton will unveil a plan where she says she ll put Americans back to work by repairing America s infrastructure.

The Biden administration says that U.S. officials would attend a meeting with Iran if it is hosted by the European Union and attended by the world powers that signed the 2015 Iran nuclear deal: the European Union, Britain, France, Germany, Russia, China. A Sta stanley cup te Department official said they were responding to an offer made via tweet by the EU political director to convene a meeting of the original parties to the agreement in order to talk about the way forward in terms of Iran s nuclear program and dealing with Iran s nuclear program. In a letter Thursday, the U.S. also informed the Unite stanley cups d Nations Security Council that it was rescinding the previous administration s request to re-impose or snap back U.N. sanctions on Iran. The letter, penned by Acting U.S. Ambassador Richard Mills, states that the U.S. withdraws three letters from the Trump administration mdash; effectively re-instating the sanctions relief of the 2015 nuclear deal.In addition, the U.S. lifted Trump-era travel restrictions on Iranian diplomats who are posted at the U.N.

Key proposals from the Republican presidential candidates might make for good campaign fodder. But independent analyses raise serious questions about those plans and their ability to cure the nation s ills in two vital areas, the economy and housing.Consider proposed cuts in taxes and regulation, which nearly every Republican candidate is pushing in the name of creating jobs. The initiatives seem to ignore surveys in which employers cite far bigger impediments to increased hiring, chiefly slack consumer stanley mug demand. Republicans favor tax cuts for the wea stanley cup lthy and corporations, but these had no stimulative effect during the George W. Bush administration, and there is no reason to believe that more of them will have any today, writes Bruce Bartlett. He s an economist who worked for Republican congressmen and in the administrations of Presidents Ronald Reagan and George H.W. Bush. As for the idea that cutting regulations will lead to significant job growth, Bartlett said in an interview, It s just nonsense. It s just made up. Government and industry studies support his view. The Bureau of Labor Statistics, which tracks companies reasons for large layoffs, found that 1,119 layoffs were attributed to government regulations in the first half of this year, while 144,746 were attributed to poor business demand.

President Obama is meeting with Internet CEOs on Friday, two days after a National Security Agency NSA official alleged that Internet companies were fully aware of the NSA surveillance programs, even though those companies have claimed otherwise. Months after former government contractor Edward Snowden exposed the vast extent of the NSA s program stanley mugs s, new information about the surveillance programs is still coming out.

De reiterated the point to the Guardia stanley cup n: All 702 collection is pursuant to court directives, so they [the tech companies] have to know.

Sure, the trial of Scooter Libby is a hopelessly complex Washington story about alleged lying and not about whether someone knowingly leaked the name of a covert CIA agent to the press, which was what it was supposed to be about in the first place.

Donald Trump tested out a new line of attack against rival Hillary Clinton this week, arguing that she is physically unfit for the commander-in-chief role.

As lawmakers negotiate another massive coronavirus relief bill, one key area of debate is whether the extra $600 in federal weekly unemployment benefits millions of Americans are getting to tide them over during the crisis is actually discouraging them stanley quencher from returning to lower-paying jobs. That has prompted some Republican lawmakers to push for a reduction in benefits, arguing the cut will nudge people back into the labor market and speed the economic recovery.Yet such concerns are misguided, some experts say. A July studyby Yale economists found no evidence that people who have recently lost their job are choosing to stay unemployed because of the sweetened federal jobless aid. In fact, they added, Workers facing larger [unemployment] expansions generally appear to be quicker to return to work than others, not slower. Meanwhile, Republican lawmakers and the Trump administration want to cut the $600 in weekly unemployment benefits to $200 a week, according to the Washington Post. The lower payout would provide a financial bridge until states can set up their unemployment systems to provide workers with 70% of the income they earned before they lost their jobs, the Post added. The $600 in weekly benefits is due to end July 31 after being aut stanley tumblers horized by the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act in March.

In recent years, the Arizona Republican and the Wisconsin Democrat have seen their legislation stalled time and again. But now, McCain, Feingold, and their allies say they have the necessary 60 votes this time around to overcome any such parliamentary obstacles, in part because the Senate is evenly divided between the two parties.What s less certain is whether they will have the vo stanley kaffeebecher tes to pass a bill, whether that bill will become law, and whether that law would survive a court challenge.

It s something that we should do because it s the right thing to do.

TRENTON, New Jersey-- New Jersey s top court sided with New Jersey Gov.

The need is compelling in respect of the State s ability to honor its compensation commitment to retired employees. But this Court cannot resolve that need in place of the political branches. They will have to deal with one another to forge a solution to the tenuous financial status of New Jersey s pension funding in a way that comports with the strictures of our Constitution. stanley quencher Christie: Donrsquo;t reward illegal immigrants 01:08 She wrote Douc Wisconsin Senate candidates make final push to energize their voters
