The court sided with the firefighters who claimed they were denied promotions because of their race.Liberal organizations and politicians denounced the decision, saying it undercuts civil rights protections, and cautioned against using it as criticism against Supreme Court nominee Sonia Sotomayor, whose ruling the high court reversed.

Washington mdash; The White House said Tuesday that it strongly opposes House Republicans bill that would lift the debt ceiling into 2024 but slash federal spending, and warned that President Biden would veto the proposal if it were to land on his desk.The White House s Office of Management and Budget OMB called the 320-page legislation, known as the Limit, Save, Grow Act of 2023, a reckless attempt to extract extreme concessions as a condition for the United States simply paying the bills it has already incurred. Altogether, this legislation would not only risk default, recession, widespread job loss, and years of higher interest rates, but also make devastating cuts to programs that hard-working Americans and the middle-class count on, OMB said in a statement of administra stanley cupe tion policy. The White House budget office said the House GOP s plan stands in stark contrast to the president s vision for the economy and his budget proposal for the 2024 fiscal year that was sent to Congress last month. Therefore, if the president were presented with the Limit, Save, Gros Act of 2023, he would veto it, the statement read.

But the side affects of those policies, including a drop in revenue and the threat of a budget deficit in 2015, created an opening for Paul Davis, the House minority leader.
