President Joe Biden speaks about the economy and his infrastructure agenda in the State Dining Room of the White House, in Washington on July 19, 2021.It was one small step for American infrastructure. Could it presage a giant leap for bipartisanship?

Frustration as Biden, Congress allow eviction ban to expireAnger and frustration mounted as President Joe Biden showed no signs of reversing plans to allow a nationwide eviction moratorium to expire at midnight Saturday -- one Democratic lawmaker even camping outside the Capitol in protest as millions of Americans were about to be forced from their homes.

Feds reach $8B agreement to settle First Nations drinking water class actionMinister of Indigenous Services Marc Miller announced Friday that the federal government has reached an agreement out of court to settle class-action litigation regarding clean drinking water for First Nations communities across Canada. Yay, more tax payer burden that wont fix the problem and will most likely end up in the pockets of corrupt construction companies and tribal chiefs...
