Moscow launches sixth airstrike in six days; US debt ceiling deal won’t limit Ukraine spending, says Chuck Schumer
The Senate narrowly passed a bill to suspend the debt ceiling on Thursday night, sending the legislation to Joe Biden’s desk and averting a federal default that could have wreaked havoc on the US economy and global markets.
As some of their colleagues lamented the state of America’s debt, defence hawks in the Senate Republican conference warned that the legislation does not sufficiently fund the Pentagon, leaving the US military vulnerable in the face of foreign threats.
