* Debt Ceiling: [UPDATE] Treasury Secretary Yellen has now said that Treasury has enough money to pay government debt until June 5th. House Speaker McCarthy and President Biden announced they reached a bipartisan agreement that will suspend the debt ceiling until 1/1/25. The vote to approve the bill is scheduled for May 31st however, the Rules Committee is scheduled to take up the bill today and a floor vote could be delayed if the committee decides that lawmakers can propose amendments to the final bill. [END UPDATE] Negotiations are still at a standstill. Many analysts are stating that the closer it gets to the “x-date” the more economic damage the United States will face, even if a deal is made. Negotiations came to a standstill over the weekend with Republican and Democrat negotiators being unable to find common ground on spending cuts and work requirements for entitlement programs. Treasury Secretary Yellen has stated that the June 1st “x-date” is the deadline for raising the debt ceiling.

* Russia: The Interior Ministry of Russia issued an arrest warrant for U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham after a video was released of comments the Senator made during a meeting with Ukrainian President Zelensky on Friday. The editing of the video in Zelensky’s put two quotes from the Senator much closer together than they had been in reality. Graham noted that “the Russians are dying” and the second comment was him saying that the military assistance being given to Ukraine was “the best money we have ever spent.” Graham claimed the arrest warrant was a badge of honor and offered this challenge to Russia: “Here’s an offer to my Russian ‘friends’ who want to arrest and try me for calling out the Putin regime as being war criminals: I will submit to jurisdiction of the International Criminal Court if you do,” “Come and make your best case. See you in The Hague!”

Thoughts for the day
Never forget…

“Before a standing army can rule, the people must be disarmed, as they are in almost every country in Europe. The supreme power in America cannot enforce unjust laws by the sword; because the whole body of the people are armed, and constitute a force superior to any band of regular troops.” – Noah Webster 1787

-Warnings/ Advisories (NOAA)

WarningA warning is issued when a hazardous weather or hydrologic event is occurring, imminent or likely. A warning means weather conditions pose a threat to life or property. People in the path of the storm need to take protective action.

Advisory: An advisory is issued when a hazardous weather or hydrologic event is occurring, imminent or likely. Advisories are for less serious conditions than warnings, that cause significant inconvenience and if caution is not exercised, could lead to situations that may threaten life or property.

Watch: A watch is used when the risk of a hazardous weather or hydrologic event has increased significantly, but its occurrence, location or timing is still uncertain. It is intended to provide enough lead time so those who need to set their plans in motion can do so. A watch means that hazardous weather is possible. People should have a plan of action in case a storm threatens and they should listen for later information and possible warnings, especially when planning travel or outdoor activities.
