McCarthy's Debt Ceiling Bill Passes with Slim Majority Despite Republican Opposition.

House Republicans passed a debt limit bill that would block Joe Biden's proposals and lower the federal budget deficit by $4.8tn over 10 years. Democrats have called it the Default on America Act and refuse to support it. The Senate's Democratic leader Chuck Schumer says it will be dead on arrival. Republicans hope the bill will force Biden to negotiate a deal to raise the debt ceiling. Meanwhile, the Senate Democrats are divided over whether to subpoena Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts after he declined to testify about the court's ethics. The Biden administration has announced new measures to stem the flow of migrants to the southern border caused by the impending end of pandemic-era restrictions.
