Agenda posted 8, 2022

 

President Trump continues to urge Republicans to end the filibuster as the government shutdown drags on. The president made the comments while hosting Republican senators for breakfast at the White House. Trump warned that no legislation will be passed for over three years if lawmakers don't end the filibuster.        Democrats are celebrating a successful election night as they basically swept the board in Tuesday's key elections. Voters have elected Democratic socialist Zohran Mamdani as the next mayor of New York City. His victory comes after President Trump warned that he may slash federal funding to the city if Mamdani won.        At nine people are dead after a UPS jet crash at Louisville Muhammad Ali Airport yesterday. The crash sent a massive fireball into the air over the airport and smoke from the fire lingered for hours. Authorities say eleven people were taken to hospitals with injuries and two are in critical condition.        The Supreme Court is hearing arguments today over the legality of President Trump's tariffs. It comes after the high court agreed to fast track the case. The tariffs will stay in place until the court makes a decision.        The Eastern U.S. will get a blast of Arctic air this weekend, bringing a deep-freeze to millions. Temperatures are expected to fall from the Dakotas all the way down to Florida, with forecasters saying it will feel more like January than November. That's about 10 to 15 degrees below average.        The Mega Millions jackpot is growing after no one matched last night's winning numbers. The top prize in Friday's drawing is now worth 843-million dollars. Ahead of that, tonight's Powerball jackpot stands at an estimated 438-million-dollars.
