Congress has until September 30th to agree on a continuing resolution that will keep the government funded through March of next year.

Trump and Accuses Chamber of Commerce of Waging War Against American Workers Teamsters President Sean M. O'Brien delivered a historic address to the Republican National Convention (RNC) “It's an honor to be the first Teamster in our 121-year history to address the Republican National Convention,” O'Brien told the RNC crowd, which included Trump and his running mate Sen. J.D. Vance (R-OH) as well as House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA), Rep. Byron Donalds (R-FL), and Tucker Carlson. “I want to thank President Donald Trump for opening the RNC's doors to the Teamsters Union and inviting me to speak,” O'Brien said, noting that “heads exploded” on the Right and Left when he was invited to speak at the convention. “Anti-union groups demanded the President rescind his invitation. The Left called me a traitor. This is precisely why it is so important for me to be here today,” O'Brien said: Notably, O'Brien trashed the United States Chamber of Commerce — a fierce opponent of Trump's economic nationalist agenda — for what he said has been a war on American workers. “We need to call the Chamber of Commerce and the Business Roundtables what they are: They are unions for big business,” O'Brien said: Here's the fact: Against these gigantic multinational corporations, an individual has zero power. It is only when Americans band together in democratic unions that we win real improvements on wages, benefits, and working conditions.

"The implication of that is that if you wait until inflation gets all the way down to 2%, you've probably waited too long, because the tightening that you're doing, or the level of tightness that you have, is still having effects which will probably drive inflation below 2%," Powell said at the Economic Club of Washington D.C.

Taxes could soon start looking different for many Americans -- as former President Trump's 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act is set to expire in 2025.

Early Friday morning, Israel conducted a "limited" strike on Iran in retaliation for Tehran firing a barrage of missiles and drones at the country last Saturday. Reports suggest Iran doesn't have immediate plans to respond to the most recent attack. However, U.S. lawmakers fear a wider Mideast war is on the horizon, with the House proposing several bills throughout the week. One such bill passed that would redesignate Iranian-backed Houthi rebels in Yemen as a terrorist group. Senior Fellow and Military Expert at Defense Priorities Daniel Davis joins to discuss the current state of play in Iran.  House Democrats took an abnormal approach and helped Republican leaders move forward with a test vote that could advance a bill that would provide $95 billion in aid to Ukraine, Israel, and Taiwan. House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) faces pushback from some House GOP members who feel that Congress should not pass the bill without including provisions for the Southern border. Speaker Johnson's fate lies in the hands of the vote, with some Congressional Republicans threatening to oust him. The House will officially vote on the bill on Saturday afternoon. FOX News Congressional Correspondent Chad Pergram speaks to FOX News White House Correspondent Jacqui Heinrich about the fate of the speakership and previews Saturday's vote.
