It’s a deal set that is set to use hundreds of billion dollars over the coming decade to reshape the fight against climate change, how Obamacare works, the price of prescription drugs, and the U.S. tax code’s treatment of big corporations. Sens. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) and Joe Manchin (D-WV) surprised the world on July 27 when they released their sweeping bill known as the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA). Then on August 4, Sen. Kyrsten Sinema (D-AZ) propelled the deal closer to the finish line… Source link

New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick answered questions about the NFL’s investigation into the Miami Dolphins’ tampering with Tom Brady in true Belichickian fashion: With indifference. When asked twice Wednesday about the NFL’s decision to take two draft picks from the Dolphins – including the team’s 2023 first-rounder – as well as fine and suspend owner Stephen Ross for “impermissible communications” with Brady while he was on the Patriots in 2019 (as well when he was the Tampa… Source link

Tributes have poured in since the death of Bill Russell, whose unparalleled success as an NBA champion was rivaled only by his impact off the court. Magic Johnson would like to see his legacy formalized league-wide. The Hall of Fame Los Angeles Lakers point guard called for the NBA and commissioner Adam Silver on Tuesday to retire Russell’s jersey No. 6 across the league. He made his pitch on Twitter. The suggested step would immortalize Russell’s No. 6 alongside that of No. 42 in MLB, which… Source link

The world didn’t just lose its greatest sports champion and a civil rights leader on Sunday, when Boston Celtics legend Bill Russell died at age 88. We lost a touchstone to our history that can never be replaced. The NBA is different from most institutions in how it embraces the greats who built it. Only Pete Maravich had passed when the league honored its 50th Anniversary Team in 1997, and 47 attended the ceremony. Forty-five of the 61 living members were present for the 75th Anniversary… Source link

Bill Russell was a late bloomer. Before the college basketball accolades and a pair of national championships, before the 11 NBA titles and five MVPs, before he became the most fearsome defensive player ever and a man firmly entrenched in the conversation for the greatest player of all time, there was a gangly, 5-foot-10 kid from Oakland’s McClymonds High School who believed a job in the shipyards was in his future. There proved to be so much more. William Felton Russell died Sunday with his… Source link

It’s a deal set to raise over $800 billion in the coming decade for everything from fighting climate change to extending Obamacare. And it’s projected to bring down the deficit to boot. Sens. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) and Joe Manchin (D-WV) surprised the world on July 27 when they released a sweeping, 725-page bill known as the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) — instantly resuscitating a key Democratic agenda item aimed at bringing down costs for the middle class. The compromise comes after… Source link

After more than a year of negotiations, Congress is on the cusp of passing a bill to alleviate the chip shortage and shore up U.S. competitiveness with China — in part by giving $50 billion to the semiconductor industry. The Senate voted 64-32 on Tuesday to end debate on the so-called “CHIPS+” bill. This key step, which required 60 votes, now sets the stage for final passage in the coming days. As the key procedural step got underway, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) said the… Source link

After over a year of negotiations, Congress is finally advancing a bill to provide $52 billion to the semiconductor industry amid a chip shortage threatening U.S. competitiveness and national security. The Senate is eyeing a crucial cloture vote as early as Thursday which, if it gains the required 60 votes, could put the bill on the path to become a law within the coming weeks. “This has been bipartisan work in the Senate at its best,” Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) said… Source link

In today’s world, the markets cannot be separated from politics. Case in point – the semiconductor subsidy bill currently before Congress. The bill, which holds the promise of some $52 billion worth of subsidies for the US semiconductor industry, was stalled in the Congressional processes for several months but last week got a boost from House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. In a move not sees as particularly coincidental, Pelosi’s husband just last month exercised a call option to purchase more… Source link
