President Biden on Sunday called on Republican lawmakers to compromise in ongoing budget and debt ceiling talks, warning that their current position is too extreme and cannot pass a narrowly divided Congress.
Biden spoke to reporters from Hiroshima, Japan where he has been attending the Group of Seven (G7) Summit, and warned that he would not accept Republicans' existing proposals as the U.S. inches closer to the risk of default.
"Now it's time for the other side to move from their extreme positions, because much of what they've already proposed is simply, quite frankly, unacceptable," Biden said in opening remarks at a press conference. |

President Biden on Sunday said he believes he has the authority to use the 14th Amendment to unilaterally address the debt ceiling, but he acknowledged potential legal challenges could still lead the nation to default if he went that route.
"I'm looking at the 14th Amendment as to whether or not we have the authority — I think we have the authority," Biden told reporters at a press conference in Hiroshima, Japan. "The question is, could it be done and invoked in time that it would not be appealed, and as a consequence past the date in question and still default on the debt. That is a question that I think is unresolved." |

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) appears, finally, to be ready to enter the presidential race.
DeSantis, who has long been seen as the most serious rival to former President Trump for the GOP nomination, has been running a quasi-campaign for months, backed up by a big-spending super PAC.
But now multiple media reports suggest the Florida governor will enter the race this week. |

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) is running into early problems as he tries to cast former President Donald Trump as a loser while opening his presidential campaign. DeSantis and his allies have focused on Trump's losing record in recent elections to set up the Florida governor as a worthy alternative to the ex-president with GOP primary voters. DeSantis has specifically told GOP voters to "reject the culture of losing." |

Ron DeSantis is using his perch as Florida's governor to take stands on national energy issues at the state level as he appears poised to jump into the 2024 presidential primary. DeSantis recently signed a bill that restricted environmentally and socially conscious investing, also known as ESG, in the Sunshine State. As gas stove politics heated up in Washington, D.C., the governor also floated tax breaks for the appliances in Florida even though they are not widely used there. |

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) requested that the judge in Disney's First Amendment case against him be dismissed, citing statements the judge has made in the past that the governor's lawyers argue demonstrate a lack of impartiality. DeSantis filed a motion on Friday in U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Florida to ask that Chief Judge Mark Walker be disqualified from the case. |

The NAACP issued a formal travel advisory for Florida on Saturday, saying the state has become "hostile to Black Americans" under Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis's (R) leadership. "On a seeming quest to silence African-American voices, the Governor and the State of Florida have shown that African Americans are not welcome in the State of Florida," the travel advisory reads. |

After a string of defeats at the ballot in red and purple states in the 2022 election, a growing number of GOP-controlled state legislatures and anti-abortion groups are pushing back. They are working to restrict or even ban citizen-led ballot initiatives, which have been used by progressive groups to bypass conservative lawmakers. |

Former Trump attorney Timothy Parlatore said on Saturday that he left the former president's legal team due to internal division. "It had nothing to do with the case itself or the client," Parlatore said in an interview with CNN. "The real reason is because there are certain individuals that made defending the president much harder than it needed to be." |

Dozens of companies are racing to deliver electricity from fusion — a form of carbon-free electricity often compared to a "star in a bottle." While fusion power had been thought to be decades away, in May, Microsoft signed the world's first contract to purchase fusion-generated electricity. It's a sign that the industry, long seen as akin to science fiction, is achieving a new level of commercial maturity. |

OPINION | Over the last few weeks, I've taken an informal survey of Republicans and independents who I know favor Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis for the Republican nomination to challenge President Joe Biden in 2024. Many of those I spoke with still feel that most of the policies put forth by former President Donald J. Trump reflect their values and positions. That said, not one I interacted with was in favor of Trump running next year. Some fear, as in 2020, that millions of additional Democrats will come to the polls simply to vote against Trump. |
OPINION | About 2 million college seniors will graduate this month. Young adults across the country will don academic robes, march two-by-two past their proud, teary families and stand a little taller as they commence into the world of college graduates. But in quadrangles, gyms and auditoriums across the country, fewer chairs will be set up than expected when these students entered college four years ago. |

Aaron and Lacey Jennen's roots in Arkansas run deep. They've spent their entire lives there, attended the flagship state university, and are raising a family. So they're heartbroken at the prospect of perhaps having to move to one of an ever-dwindling number of states where gender-affirming health care for their transgender teenage daughter, Sabrina, is not threatened. |
Group of Seven talks culminated Sunday with a series of dramatic, in-person appeals from Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky as he pressed leaders gathered in Japan to remain united against Russian aggression. |
