The White House says states have ways to get around a federal law that provides blanket immunity to gun manufacturers and dealers for gun crimes.

The White House has said only Congress, not the White House, can extend the evictions freeze pandemic following a recent Supreme Court ruling.

The program provided grants for more than 105,000 restaurants – less than one-third of the 370,000 restaurants that applied.

Gun deaths in the U.S. this year are up more than 20% over 2020, putting pressure on President Joe Biden to take on the rising violence.

The setback raises major doubts over Biden’s goal to pass a sweeping infrastructure bill with support from Republicans.

As Biden calls for $174 billion for electric vehicles, Republican lawmakers have opposed that piece of his infrastructure plan.

After a 90-minute meeting with the ‘Big 4,’ Biden says he’s ‘ecouranced’ about a ‘solid and significant’ bipartisan infrastructure bill.

Most states and cities will receive funds in two tranches: one in the coming days and an infusion of the same amount 12 months from now.

The plan is the second piece of Biden’s ‘Build Back Better’ economic agenda following the release of a $2.3 trillion infrastructure and jobs plan.
