Joe Biden on Wednesday signed legislation that will exempt some U.S. semiconductor manufacturing facilities from federal environmental reviews that are receiving government subsidies. Without the new law, projects from the $52.7 billion CHIPS Act of 2022 could have been forced to undergo additional federal environmental reviews under the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 to win federal permits. Proponents say those projects had already complied with federal, state and local environmental regulations and permitting requirements and that without the change they could have potentially faced years of additional delays.

Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell said the bigger-than-expected reduction was a sign of confidence that inflation is headed back to the 2% target and should not be seen as any indication of the pace of cuts going forward. Here is a look at the latest comments from Fed policymakers, sorting them under the labels «dove» and «hawk» as a rough shorthand for their monetary policy leanings, as best as can be figured. A dove is more focused on risks to the labor market and may want to cut rates more quickly, while a hawk is more focused on the threat of inflation and may be more cautious about rate cuts.

Kamala Harris's previous condemnations of domestic abuse and sexual assault perpetrators are coming back to haunt her in the wake of allegations that Doug Emhoff slapped her ex-girlfriend. This is because there is no evidence that her now-husband forcefully slapped an ex-girlfriend more than ten years ago. Critics point to Harris' previous statements supporting survivors of abuse, which have sparked renewed debate in light of the Emhoff allegations. As the two waited in the valet line after an event at the Cannes Film Festival in May 2012, the second gentleman, Doug Emhoff, a 59-year-old Hollywood lawyer, struck his then-flavour, a prosperous New York attorney, in the face so hard, that she spun around, three unnamed friends of the woman, as quoted in a report by the New York Post. Critics of Harris quickly capitalized on the alleged abuse, which they said was caused by Emhoff's misguided jealousy that he thought his beau was flirting with another man. They cited years in which the vice president asserted that she believes women who have experienced sexual assault.

US congressional elections, albeit on a temporary basis. A federal appeals court said that betting on the US congressional election can be resumed on a temporary basis. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit has lifted a prior injunction that prohibited New York startup company Kalshi from betting on which political party will control the House and Senate following the election, which will happen in November. The recent rule of the U.S. Court of Appeals has cleared the way for restarting the betting activity, and the court continues to deliberate on the core issues surrounding the case, which means that the court is taking time to analyze the implications and legalities, as per ABC News. Kalshi has only offered betting on congressional races, but there is no immediate indication that Kalshi is planning to broaden its betting options to feature presidential elections. As the political climate heats up, stakeholders are eager to see whether the platform will diversify its offerings in the near future. The court has declared that it will reconsider a ban willingly only if the relevant commission presents evidence that is a threat of serious harm to the interests of the public in the coming week.
