President Joe Biden and his team are fanning out across the country to tout the climate-change-fighting, job-creating, money-saving benefits coming from the Democrats’ landmark Inflation Reduction Act.

The problem? Most Americans have probably heard more about Republican complaints that Biden is coming for their gas stoves.

Biden used his platform at Tuesday’s State of the Unionaddress to call the Inflation Reduction Act and its $369 billion in green incentives “the most significant investment ever to tackle the climate crisis,” while proclaiming that the law will trigger a boom in US clean energy manufacturing. His Energy Department followed that up Thursday

Feb 8 (Reuters) – Russia accused the United States on Wednesday of failing to issue visas to Russian delegates to the United Nations and of restricting the movements of its diplomats and said it would pursue arbitration proceedings.

In an interview with the RIA news agency, Russian foreign ministry official Pyotr Ilyichev said the United States had failed to comply with the 1947 UN Headquarters Agreement, which prohibited most restrictions on diplomats’ access to the United Nations.

Harvard law professor and Twitter liberal Laurence Tribe fell for a fake tweet showing a screenshot purportedly from Montana Gov. Greg Gianforte announced his child was “immaculately conceived.”

The fabricated screenshot, shared by a Twitter user, attributes a tweet to the Republican governor’s official Twitter account, with the text, “Much like my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, my child was immaculately conceived, blessing me and my wonderful wife Susan the ability to remain virgins. #virginityrocks”

On 24 November 2022, the Australian Attorney-General the Hon Mark Dreyfus KC MP announced the Attorney-General’s Department’s intention to release an issues paper for public consultation, as the first stage of a review into Australia’s current copyright enforcement regime.
