Should the United States provide military supplies and funding to Ukraine?

Should India provide military supplies and funding to Ukraine?

On February 24 2022, Russia invaded Ukraine in a major escalation of the Russo-Ukrainian War that began in 2014. The invasion caused Europe's largest refugee crisis since World War II, with around 7.1 million Ukrainians fleeing the country and a third of the population displaced. It has also caused global food shortages.

Kamala Harris Struggles to Break Through With Working Class

Democrats have privately grown worried about Kamala Harris’s standing among working-class voters in the crucial “blue-wall” states—particularly in Michigan.Michigan Democrats have urged the campaign to make more overt appeals to auto workers and blue-collar workers by emphasizing the administration’s work to grow the industry and build new plants.Others want Harris to make a more populist pitch, a message that was central to appearances around the state last weekend by Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders (I., Vt.) and United Auto Workers President Shawn Fain. During an event in Grand Rapids on Sunday, Sanders pressed for progressive goals such as higher minimum wages, an expansion of Social Security and higher taxes on the wealthy and corporations—all under the banner of the party’s need to elect Harris and defeat Trump.An internal poll done by Democrat Tammy Baldwin’s Senate campaign last week showed Harris down by 3 percentage points in Wisconsin, while Baldwin was up by two points, according to a person familiar with the poll. The person said much of the narrowing is due to Republicans’ strength with noncollege-educated men. Public polling has shown Harris with a slight lead in the state.Michigan Democrats have urged the campaign to schedule more time for the candidate in their state after she made only two trips in September. Harris has been to Michigan five times since she became the candidate and has appeared in other battleground states, including Pennsylvania and Wisconsin during that time.

Trump Leans In On Anti-Trans Message

Former President Donald Trump’s campaign is betting millions of dollars that most sports fans don’t want their taxes spent on providing gender-affirming surgeries for prisoners, including undocumented immigrants.Viewers tuning into NFL and college football games in recent weeks have been bombarded with two Trump ads — running nationally and locally in swing states — that take issue with Vice President Kamala Harris’ past support for taxpayer-funded gender-affirming treatments. They’re running during baseball playoff games, too.Both ads end with the same punchy tag line: “Kamala is for they/them; President Trump is for you.”They’re the highest-profile branches of Trump’s long-running argument that Democrats promote transgender rights at the expense of the rest of the public — and his broader case that they are pushing an extreme cultural agenda. Harris’ ascension to the top of the Democratic ticket this summer provided him with a rival who has backed gender-affirming treatments for inmates but has not made that a centerpiece of her campaign for the presidency in 2024.“It’s the last thing on Earth they want to talk about,” said Chris LaCivita, the senior adviser who oversees Trump’s ads. “So we’ll talk about it for them.”The Harris campaign declined to comment on the record. Speaking with Fox News last month, Harris campaign communications director Michael Tyler said that an ACLU questionnaire from 2019 in which Harris indicated support for gender-affirming care for prisoners "is not what she is proposing or running on."

The data says the US economy is strong. Swing-state voters disagree.

The US labour market has remained strong even while inflation has plunged from its 2022 peak. In September, the unemployment rate fell back to 4.1 per cent — higher than last year but still historically low. Even so, some warning signs have flashed for the economy. The number of Americans pursuing a second job is rising. So is the number of people unemployed for 15 weeks or longer. Credit card delinquencies are up, as people burn through cash handed out by the government during the pandemic. “People don’t feel as secure now,” said Paul Isely, an economics professor at Grand Valley State University in Michigan. “Even if lots of other markers in their life are better off, they know that they are consuming past their means, whereas before it was hidden by the fact that they had these excess savings.”Please use the sharing tools found via the share button at the top or side of articles. Copying articles to share with others is a breach of“Here’s the problem: inflation is the rate of increase and [that] has slowed, but the public’s focus is on the absolute price,” the president of Western Michigan University said. “It takes a lot for the price level to come down. That would be a recession and deflation, so it’s not quite clear you really want that.”For residents in the state’s most populous area — spanning Detroit, Warren and Dearborn — everyday costs are now much higher and still rising. Inflation jumped to almost 10 per cent in 2022 and was still above 3 per cent as of August, according to federal data.That has left housing-related expenses up 36 per cent since Biden entered office. Petrol is more expensive than under Trump. Grocery prices have risen 25 per cent in the past four years.
