In the August sun, it’s unbearably hot in my car. My air conditioner doesn’t work unless the car is moving. My car won’t move.

Biden was roundly booed by a Trump supporter. The fan shouted “F— Joe Biden” and “Let’s Go Brandon.” Pausing in his speech, Biden said: “They have a right to be outrageous. This is a democracy.” He added: “Good manners are nothing they have ever suffered from.” Independence Hall was lit up in red and blue and two Marine guards stood behind the President. However, the major US television networks decided not to disrupt their regular schedules to air the address, instead sticking to programs like Law & Order and Shark Tank....

Congress used the provision — Section 108(f)(5) — to exempt forgiven student loans between 2015 and 2021 from taxes as part of the American Rescue Plan Act....

The Biden administration is pushing governments to introduce a price cap because it would reduce the revenue President Vladimir Putin needs to fund his war in Ukraine, while theoretically allowing Russian barrels to keep flowing to world markets, avoiding a new inflationary supply shock....
