Scalise: it's time for DC to come up with their own ideas, re: debt ceiling.

Biden running out clock for months.

Irresponsible.

Today is the meeting - we hope the President doesn't give us moar empty rhetoric.

Americans want a American President focused on American Problems.

Biden needs to finish the debt crisis talks before he leaves the country [trip next week].

House did its work. Senate needs to step up.

Our debt ceiling Bill addresses spending, and includes growth provisions and addresses inflation.

Durham report - some FBI agents knowingly misrepresented themselves in front of FISA court.

Accountability needs to be administered. FBI needs to clean house.

Treasury Secretary Yellen at Independent Community Bankers of America Summit

Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen warned that “time is running out” for Congress to act on a looming deadline to increase the federal debt limit. “We are already seeing the impacts of brinkmanship: investors have become more reluctant to hold government debt that matures in early June,” she said during remarks at an Independent Community Bankers of America summit in Washington, DC.

The secretary’s comments came ahead of a White House meeting on the debt ceiling later in the day with President Biden and House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA), as well as other congressional leaders.
