Joe Biden

Tennessee state Rep. Gloria Johnson (D), who along with Reps. Justin Jones and Justin Pearson became the Tennessee Three after they protested gun violence on the state House floor, called out a Republican governor on Sunday.

Tennessee Governor Bill Lee, who quickly drew tremendous outrage in the wake of a school mass shooting where six people including three young children were shot to death after he said he was “praying for the school, congregation & Nashville community,” without posting any mention of the mass shooting itself, recently chimed in on the California fires.

The final jobs report of President Joe Biden's presidency showed better-than-expected success. The unemployment rate also dropped to 4.1%, which analysts were shocked to see. The unemployment rate was expected to stagnate, while some Biden critics whispered it could even decrease.

Biden said in a release: "Although I inherited the worst economic crisis in decades with unemployment above 6% when I took office, we’ve had the lowest average unemployment rate of any administration in 50 years with unemployment at 4.1% as I leave..."

President Joe Biden on Thursday afternoon briefed the top directors of agencies that will help the state with the California fires.

Among the complaints from those on the ground is that fire hydrants had gone dry after other areas used the stored water.

CNN panelists faced off over Donald Trump's political attacks on California Gov. Gavin Newsom over the wildfires devastating the Los Angeles area.

Conservative commentator Scott Jennings justified the attack, saying that Democrats' leadership in the state was at least partially to blame for the destruction.

A former FBI informant has been sentenced to six years in prison for fabricating a bribery scheme involving President Joe Biden and his son Hunter, according to a report.

Alexander Smirnov was sentenced to federal prison on Wednesday, CNN reported. He has also promised to repay about $675,000 in restitution to the IRS for tax evasion.

A pair of inmates on death row are thumbing their noses at President Joe Biden's commutations of their sentences, according to a report.

Shannon Agofsky and Len Davis, inmates at a penitentiary in Terre Haute, Indiana, filed emergency motions in federal court last week seeking to block having their death sentences commuted to life in prison without parole, NBC News reported.

President Joe Biden made good on something the United Steelworkers union wanted him to do, and blocked a $15 billion acquisition of U.S. Steel by the Japanese-based Nippon Steel — but this is not good news for the union, wrote columnist Catherine Rampell for The Washington Post. Indeed, by giving the union what it wanted, Biden may have crippled the U.S. steel industry, and with it, thousands of union jobs he was so keen to protect.

"The Japanese are understandably insulted by Biden’s decision," wrote Rampell. "But Japan isn’t the only friend Biden betrayed. He also shafted the American union workers he claims to champion. In a way, the episode illustrates a broader problem within the Democratic Party: mistaking pandering and appeasement for loyalty."

President Joe Biden was presented with a plan to strike Iranian nuclear facilities if Iran moves to develop a nuclear weapon before he leaves office on Jan. 20, reported Axios on Thursday.

The plan, presented by national security adviser Jake Sullivan, "would be an enormous gamble from a president who promised he would not allow Iran to develop a nuclear weapon, but who would also risk handing a fresh conflict over to his successor. Biden did not green light a strike during the meeting and has not done so since, the sources said," according to Barak Ravid.
