The Dramatic Vote on the Debt Ceiling Bill Tonight!

The Dramatic Vote on the Debt Ceiling Bill Tonight!

We can expect Republicans and Democrats to complain loudly on the U.S. House of Representatives floor tonight.  

The Debt Ceiling Bill was passed by the Rules Committee yesterday. Now it goes to a full vote, and both parties are not thrilled with what they are voting on. But that is the nature of a Compromise.

This story and more are in today's Political Woman - Politics Today episode. 

Politics Today: The War Touches Russia and the Debt Ceiling Rules

The War in Russia and the Debt Ceiling Rules

As many as 25 Drones were shot down in and near Moscow as the war between Russia and Ukraine entered a new stage.

And on Capitol Hill, Congress members on the Rules Committee get to work on the Debt Ceiling Bill, which now has a number: H.R. 3746  - Fiscal Responsibility Act of 2023.

Those are just two Political stories I'm watching today, Tuesday, May 30. Please subscribe.

The Debt Ceiling Deal - Biden and McCarthy Teaming Up to Sell It

The Debt Ceiling Deal - President Biden and Speaker McCarthy have already begun making their sales pitches to Democrats and Republicans in Congress.

The Debt Ceiling Bill's official name is "Fiscal Responsibility Act of 2023.’’

It's a compromise that may only make one person in Washington happy. 

That person would be Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen. She has been in the hot seat, warning and pleading with Lawmakers not to default on the massive debt.

Congress must raise the Debt Ceiling to save the U.S. from default. This is to pay back the money we've already used. 

For more on this story, visit gloriamoraga.com. I'll post a link to the "Fiscal Responsibility Act of 2023.’’ 

Let me know what you think.

 

Why is Rudy Giuliani being Sued by former Assistant Noelle Dunphy for Sexual Assault?

Donald Trump's former lawyer Rudy Giuliani is being sued for sexual assault by a former employee, Noelle Dunphy. The $10 Million Civil suit, filed on Monday, May 15, in the New York Supreme Court, alleges Sexual assault, Selling pardons, and non-payment of wages. 

Yes, Selling Pardons. And Dunphy says she has tape recordings. I link to a copy of the lawsuit on gloriamoraga.com. 

Please don't read it if you are triggered by descriptions of sexual abuse. 

Trump and the Classified Documents Case - ”Indictments Coming?”

Former President Donald Trump's attorneys have sent a letter to U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland. 

The letter asks for a meeting and requests that Garland stop Special Counsel Jack Smith's investigations. 

Smith is responsible for the Jan. 6 investigation and the Classified Documents Case.

The Wall Street Journal reported late Tuesday, just hours before Trump posted the letter, that the documents probe "appeared all but concluded, with indictments anticipated imminently."

In this episode of Political Woman, I update the Stolen Classified Documents Investigation. 

The Debt Ceiling - Is Default Coming?

The Debt Ceiling - Is Default Coming? What does this mean to you?

The United States is getting dangerously close to the Debt Ceiling Deadline.

The U.S. Treasury Department warns that it is essential for Congress to raise the Debt Ceiling by June 1, 2023.

But negotiations have stalled.

If the U.S. defaults for the first time, tens of billions of dollars in Social Security benefits, federal salaries, payments to Medicaid providers, veterans’ benefits and more could be at risk.
