a small majority in the senate. democrats have a president, but we're all american. we all have to work together. republicans continue to insist that there must be a massive cut in federal spending, this part of a compromise that they want in order to raise that did ceiling. the white house, where it's part argues there should be no concessions whatsoever. that it's up to the republicans to agree to raise that dead ceiling in order that the u. s. can continue to function effectively post june, while the u. s. federal reserve meanwhile, has raised our target interest rate by a quarter of a century point. the central bank continued to promise ongoing increases and borrowing costs as part of its battle against inflation. in a statement, the federal reserve says inflation ease slightly from the 40 year highest hit last year. but it says it rushes war and ukraine was still adding to global uncertainty . the southern us, meanwhile, is preparing for more icey conditions. there is
