The U.S. House passed a bill on Thursday that allows the U.S. president to issue an energy emergency declaration, making it unlawful for companies to excessively increase gasoline and home fuel prices.

The bill must pass the Senate, which is unlikely, and be signed by President Joe Biden to become law.

The legislation, sponsored by Democratic Representatives Katie Porter and Kim Schrier, passed the House 217 to 207, with no Republicans supporting it. In the Senate, evenly divided at 50 members in each party, 10 Republicans would need to support it for the bill to pass.Reporting by Timothy Gardner Editing by Marguerita Choy

White House braced for possible North Korea missile, nuke tests during Biden’s Pacific tripWhite House National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan said on Wednesday that U.S. intelligence estimates there is a “genuine possibility” that North Korea will conduct a long-range missile test or nuclear test as President Biden prepares for his first trip to South Korea and Japan later this week. The Republicans are apoplectic, passively watching the Democrats & the MSM, through a SOCIAL ENGINEERING, turning them into white supremacists before the rest of the population. Carl Cameron, on MSNBC, suggesting the arrest of Tucker Carlson, is proof of this social engineering. But are there any mean tweets?
