The Biden administration will award up to $6.4 billion in grants to South Korea’s Samsung Electronics to expand its chip production in central Texas as part of a broader effort to boost US chipmaking
the Department of Commerce said on Monday. The funding from the 2022 Chips and Science Act will support two chip production facilities, a research center and a packaging facility, in Taylor, Texas, the agency said, as previously reported by Reuters. It will also enable Samsung to expand its Austin, Texas, semiconductor facility, Commerce Department Secretary Gina Raimondo added, while boosting chip output for the aerospace, defense and auto industries and bolstering national security, administration officials told reporters. “(These investments) will allow the US to once again lead the world, not just in semiconductor design, which is where we do now lead, but also in manufacturing, advanced packaging, and research and development,” Raimondo said.

House Republicans have slipped TikTok legislation into the foreign aid package in hopes that it forces the Senate to a quick vote on the measure.
While three of the four measures in the package focus on aid to Ukraine, Israel and the Indo-Pacific, the fourth bill could lead to a ban of the popular social media app, which has links to China.
If passed, the app’s Chinese parent, ByteDance, would have nine months to sell the social media company.
If it misses the deadline, TikTok would be banned from US app stores.
However, the measure authorizes President Joe Biden to extend the deadline by another 90 days if he determines there’s been progress toward a sale.

The House passed the Indo-Pacific Security Supplemental bill with a bipartisan vote of 385-34
Here's what the package includes:
• $8.1 billion to counter China’s actions in the Indo-Pacific region • $3.3 billion to develop submarine infrastructure • $2 billion in foreign military financing for Taiwan and other key allies • $1.9 billion to replenish defense items and services provided to Taiwan and regional partners
The Senate bill contained very similar provisions to bolster security in the region.

about $23 billion would be used to replenish US weapons, stockpiles and facilities, and more than $11 billion would fund current US military operations in the region.
Nearly $14 billion included in the bill would help Ukraine buy advanced weapons systems and other defense equipment. (likely from US defense contractors as well!)

Okay so then that adds up to at least $48 billion that gets recycled through America!
I'm all in favor. This is not what a lot of MAGAS in media, congress and across the web wrongfully believe is simply giving away free money to Ukraine!

Just absolute pathetic posting from disillusioned Dems from post 2012 through 2018! This in the face of our soldiers in Niger performing their assigned mission without water and meds under our illegitimate commander in chief! You can not possibly make this up on your best day! MAGA!

In the overall scheme of things it's only a small positive but it is positive savings and I hope we can see much more in the years to come

New Biden rule could help 4 million white-collar workers
The Biden administration on Tuesday announced a new rule that would make millions of white-collar workers newly eligible for overtime pay.
Starting July 1, the rule would increase the threshold at which executive, administrative and professional employees are exempt from overtime pay to $43,888 from the current $35,568. That change would make an additional 1 million workers eligible to receive time-and-a-half wages for each hour they put in beyond a 40-hour week.
