  Alex, why don’t you kick us off.   Q  Two foreign and one on nominations. To start, can you update us on the status of the U.S. and Canadian missionaries that were kidnapped in Haiti over the weekend? What’s been the U.S. involvement in tracking them down? Has the President been briefed on this? And is there any update on, sort of, their status?   MS. PSAKI: Sure. The President has been briefed and is receiving regular updates on what the State Department and the FBI are doing to bring these individuals home safely.   The FBI is part of a coordinated U.S. government effort to get the U.S. citizens involved to safety. Due to operational considerations, we’re not going to go into too much detail on that, but can confirm their engagement.   And the U.S. embassy in Port-au-Prince is coordinating with local authorities and providing assistance to the families to resolve the situation.   We can’t get into too many — too many details, I should say, about...

  Are you loving this? I’m lovin it. Watching Biden just keep twisting in the wind as more and more knives come out in his party is so hilarious. Sure it doesn’t get this country put back together from him doing more damage in a few months than most presidents could do with a lifetime appointment, but it’s still funny. You probably heard him say today he can’t get the big ticket, which is hilarious. "I'm convinced we're going to get this done," Biden said of the ongoing negotiations  during the first stop of his trip  in Hartford. "We're not going to get $3.5 trillion. We'll get less than that. But we'll get it. And we'll come back and get the rest." Earlier in the speech, which was aimed at highlighting his administration's childcare proposals in the plan, Biden also suggested free community college may be an area that gets cut. "I don't know that I can get it done, but I also have proposed free community college, like you...

 THE PRESIDENT: Hello, Michigan! (Applause.) It’s good to be back. It really is. And, John, thank you for that introduction. The truth of the matter is there’s a reason why the American labor movement across the board has the single-best workers in the world: because you’re the best trained. I wish the American people understood how much serious, serious training goes into being a union worker. I really mean it. You’re the best in the world. I was kidding — someone said to me earlier that — I said I’m a union President; I’m a union — a President who supports unions — not labor, unions. And someone pointed out to me that I allegedly have the — used the word “union” as President more than the last seven presidents combined. (Applause.) You built the country. No, not a joke. You built the country. And it’s great to be here with several excellent members of Congress. Elissa Slotkin — Elissa, you — you don’t want to screw around with her. (Laughter.) She’s an intelligence officer as ...

  President Joe Biden on Monday said he couldn't guarantee the debt ceiling would be raised in two weeks as he  slammed Republicans for opposing efforts   to keep the nation from being unable to pay its debts   for the first time in its history. In a speech from the White House, Biden put the blame on Republicans for refusing to join with Democrats in raising the debt limit to pay for debts incurred in the past. Congressional Republicans are steadfastly refusing to supply any votes to raise the debt limit, Biden said they should vote on bipartisan basis to pay for bills for which both parties are responsible. "Not only are Republicans refusing to do their job, but they're threatening to use their power to prevent us from doing our job -- saving the economy from a catastrophic event. I think quite frankly it's hypocritical, dangerous and disgraceful," Biden said. Biden said: "Republicans say they will not do their part to avoid this needless calamity....

  Yesterday the National School Boards Association called on the Biden Admin to start labeling parents speaking out at school board meetings as “domestic terrorists.” Today CNN invited their president on to help advance the cause.

  "Everybody is frustrated, it’s part of being in government, being frustrated," Mr. Biden told reporters before leaving the White House for a weekend stay at his home in Wilmington, Delaware. He pledged to "work like hell" to get the two pillars of his domestic agenda passed into law, but refrained from laying out a new deadline.
