U.S. House Passes Debt Ceiling Bill | #debtceiling #governmentshutdown #default #economy #politics

Image
  The U.S. House of Representatives passed a bill on Tuesday to raise the debt ceiling, avoiding a potential government shutdown and default on U.S. debt. The bill passed by a vote of 314-117, with 149 Republicans and 165 Democrats voting in favor. The vote came after weeks of negotiations between President Joe Biden and congressional leaders. The deal includes a temporary increase in the debt ceiling of $480 billion, which will allow the government to borrow money until December 31. The passage of the bill is a major victory for Biden and Democrats, who had been facing intense pressure from Republicans to raise the debt ceiling without any conditions. Republicans had argued that Democrats should not be allowed to raise the debt ceiling without addressing other issues, such as the size of the federal government. The passage of the bill also avoids a potential default on U.S. debt, which would have had a devastating impact on the economy. A default would have led to higher interest rate

Sevilla won their record seventh Europa League title on Wednesday night, defeating Roma 4-1 in a dramatic penalty shootout after the match was tied 1-1 after extra time.

  Danny Masterson, the actor best known for his role in the sitcom That '70s Show, was acquitted on all charges of sexual assault on Thursday. Masterson, 45, was facing four counts of sexual assault, three of which were forcible rape. The charges stemmed from allegations made by four women, who claimed that Masterson assaulted them between 2001 and 2003. The trial lasted for six weeks, and the jury deliberated for four days before returning a verdict of not guilty on all counts. Masterson's defense team argued that the accusations against him were false and motivated by money. They also pointed to the fact that the women had waited years to come forward with their allegations. After the verdict was announced, Masterson's attorney, Tom Mesereau, said that his client was "very relieved" and that he "always maintained his innocence."

In 2023, the country's population is estimated to be 36,383,854, up from 35,013,414 in 2018. This growth is being driven by a number of factors, including high birth rates, immigration, and economic development.
