Kevin McCathy's invitation to make his first address to
Congress since Republicans took control of the House.
The president has accepted it
and looks forward to delivering
the State of the Union address.
We truly appreciate the kind
invitation by Speaker McCarthy, Karine Jean-Pierre, White House press secretary, via ABC.
McCarthy tweeted a copy of his letter to the president,
noting that it was his "solemn obligation" to make
the invitation as the new Speaker of the House.
The American people sent us to
Washington to deliver a new direction
for the country, to find common
ground, and to debate their priorities, Kevin McCarthy, Speaker of the House, via Twitter.
ABC reports that McCarthy's invitation to the president
has a sharply contrasting tone compared to last year's
invitation from former speaker Nancy Pelosi.
Since becoming House Speaker, McCarthy told Congress that it must investigate potential mishandling of classified documents by Biden, news of which surfaced last week.
In 2021, Biden's State of the Union address came just days
after Russia launched its invasion of Ukraine and as the
United States headed into its third year of the pandemic.

FTC to Decide , Whether Noncompete Agreements , Should Be Banned.
After receiving over 26,000 public comments about the issue, the Federal Trade Commission is set to deliver its verdict on April 30, NPR reports. .
The commission said that if approved, the
final rule "would generally prevent most
employers from using noncompete clauses.".
The commission said that if approved, the
final rule "would generally prevent most
employers from using noncompete clauses.".
Approximately one in five Americans, spanning minimum wage workers to CEOs, are subject to noncompete agreements, the FTC estimates. .
The Biden administration says that these types of agreements hurt workers by decreasing wages.
The White House also argues that these
agreements harm the U.S. economy because entrepreneurship isn't allowed to freely flourish. .
FTC Chair Lina M. Khan issued a statement when
the proposed ban was initially introduced.
The freedom to change jobs is
core to economic liberty and to
a competitive, thriving economy, FTC Chair Lina M. Khan, via statement.
Noncompetes block workers from
freely switching jobs, depriving
them of higher wages and better
working conditions, and depriving
businesses of a talent pool that
they need to build and expand, FTC Chair Lina M. Khan, via statement.
Businesses argue that noncompete agreements are essential for safeguarding investments and proprietary information.
Those businesses also question whether
the agency has the power "to regulate
such agreements," NPR reports. .
If the FTC votes to issue a final rule, enforcement wouldn't occur for 180 days,
and legal challenges would likely ensue.

I will never stop working to cancel
student debt – no matter how
many times Republican elected

its illegal student loan scheme. , Rep. Virginia Foxx, chair of the House Education Committee, via statement.
And that has been frustrating, especially
since it has jeopardized the academic
journey of millions of students, Rep. Virginia Foxx, chair of the House Education Committee, via statement.

that the administration is STILL not
doing its job and instead focusing on
its student loan shenanigans. , Rep. Virginia Foxx, chair of the House Education Committee, via statement.
White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said, , “We know what Republicans are going to do; we can’t
stop them from that. But it’s also not going to stop the president from acting and taking action, like he is today.”

House Republican leaders have lambasted President Joe Biden for his perceived inaction in enforcing existing measures against Iran. Representative Steve Scalise, the No. 2 House Republican, voiced concerns over the administration's policies allegedly facilitating Iran's oil sales, which fund terrorism. The Biden administration faces mounting pressure to deter future attacks without exacerbating regional tensions or antagonising China, a major buyer of Iranian oil.
