GOP courts Biden, who signals he might move without them
President Biden and Democrats are signaling they will move forward with a $1.9 trillion COVID-19 relief bill by using special budget rules to sidestep a GOP filibuster. A day after Biden held a White House meeting with 10 Republican senators who support moving a much smaller package, Biden called into a meeting of Senate Democrats and urged them to go big and move quickly. While going “big” doesn’t rule out any agreement between the White House and Republicans, it suggests Biden wants to move forward with a much larger package than even centrist Republicans say they could support despite the president’s statements that he also wants to unify Washington and work with Republicans. ADVERTISEMENT Biden met a group of 10 Republican senators — including one by conference call — at the White House Monday, leaving several of them with the impression that he might put the brakes on a Democratic effort to fast-track a partisan relief package in Congress in order to give more time for bipartisan negotiations. But on Tuesday, his message to Senate Democrats in a lunchtime conference call was clear: go big and move fast on a COVID-19 relief bill. “President Biden spoke about the need for Congress to respond boldly and quickly. He was very strong in emphasizing the need for a big, bold package. He said that he told Senate Republicans that the $600 billion that they proposed was way too small,” Senate Majority Leader Charles Schumer Chuck Schumer Congress holds candlelight vigil for American lives lost to COVID-19 The Hill's 12:30 Report - Presented by Facebook - Lawmakers investigate Jan. 6 security failures Senate confirms Thomas-Greenfield as UN ambassador MORE (D-N.Y.) told reporters after the Democratic meeting.

Kevan Miller Will Miss Some Time And Other Bruins Injury News
BOSTON (CBS) — Bruce Cassidy is the head coach of the Boston Bruins, but he sounded more like a doctor on Wednesday. Cassidy provided a laundry list of injury updates during his Wednesday morning Zoom session, a mixed bag of news for the Bruins. We’ll start with the bad news, which doesn’t even include the fact that defenseman Jeremy Lauzon is out for at least the next month with a fractured hand. He isn’t the only blue liner set to miss time, with Kevan Miller dealing with some lingering soreness to his surgically repaired knee. The veteran D-man will miss some time as the Bruins manage that soreness. READ MORE: Former State Rep. David Nangle Pleads Guilty To Fraud Charges Miller, 33, missed his first game of the season on Sunday. He didn’t feel great Wednesday after he practiced on Tuesday, via Cassidy. Miller will now get a few more days off, and he will not travel with the team as the Bruins embark on a three-game road trip. He’ll likely miss both Thursday night against the Islanders and Friday night against the Rangers, with a chance that he’ll be back in action Sunday in New York. Defenseman Matt Grzelcyk will make the trip, which is great news after he’s missed the last four games with a lower body injury. Cassidy said that Grzelcyk is getting closer to a return and he could be back sometime during Boston’s road trip. Grzelcyk skated on his own before practice on Tuesday and Wednesday. READ MORE: 2 Men Killed In Accident At Construction Site On High Street In Boston As for who will be making up the defensive lineup for the Bruins come Thursday night, Urho Vaakanainen skated with Charlie McAvoy on Boston’s top pairing at Wednesday’s practice. It was Jakub Zboril and Brandon Carlo on the second pairing, and veteran John Moore and Connor Clifton rounding out the defensive sets. Cassidy also provided a quick update on centerman David Krejci, who will miss at least Thursday’s game against the Islanders as he deals with a lower-body injury. ...
Padres’ Seidler on Tatis deal: ‘There’s nothing we can’t do’
close Video Fox News Flash top headlines for February 23 Fox News Flash top headlines are here. Check out what's clicking on Foxnews.com. Padres majority owner Peter Seidler couldn’t make it any clearer. He doesn’t think San Diego is a small market, but rather views it for what it is, the eighth-largest city in the United States. And he’s certain the Padres can handle the three nine-figure contracts they’ve doled out in the last four years. Outsiders have questioned how the Padres will be able to afford the $340 million, 14-year contract they gave electrifying shortstop Fernando Tatis Jr. on Monday, the longest deal in baseball history. That deal comes on top of the $300 million, 10-year deal they handed slugger Manny Machado in 2019 and the $144 million, eight-year contract they gave first baseman Eric Hosmer in 2018. CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COM After a relatively bruising two decades in which ownership wasn’t willing or able to spend on big deals, these Padres are committed to competing. "We love this city," Seidler told The Associated Press hours after the Padres announced the deal for Tatis, who has become one of the faces of baseball. "We want to honor the support our extraordinary fans give us. "In 1984 and 1998, this place went crazy. And those were real teams that went to the World Series. I know we have the city’s trust and the city trusts us. We’re going to put good teams out there. From a franchise standpoint, we’re going to get support and we’re going to back it up with our actions reflective of the eighth-largest city in America." Seidler is a grandson of the late Walter O’Malley, who moved the Dodgers from Brooklyn to Los Angeles in 1958, and a nephew of Peter O’Malley, who owned the Dodgers until 1998. He and civic leader Ron Fowler headed a group that bought the Padres in 2012 from John Moores. Moores’ ownership had become tumultuous in the years after ...
House gears up for first GameStop stock hearing
A group of technology and financial industry executives will face a bipartisan firestorm Thursday during the first congressional hearing on the GameStop stock controversy. The leaders of major companies at the center of last month’s wild stock market volatility will find few allies on the House Financial Services Committee as members in both parties plan to hold their feet to fire. Executives from Robinhood, hedge fund Citadel, Melvin Capital and Reddit will seek to defend the heavily scrutinized ways they dealt with a surge in purchases of shares of GameStop and other struggling companies organized by an online community of traders. ADVERTISEMENT The GameStop frenzy raised serious questions about stock market regulation, the rise of retail trading websites and Wall Street transparency. The hearing may also lay the groundwork for further congressional investigations or attempts to impose tougher rules on hedge funds and trading platforms. But financial policy experts say those concerns are likely to take a backseat to big tech backlash, mistrust of Wall Street and other politically potent grievances when lawmakers get their crack at the executives. “The hearing will make for good TV,” wrote Brian Gardner, chief Washington policy strategist at investment bank Stiefel, in a Tuesday research note. “In terms of figuring out what if any policy changes might result from the episode, we would pay more attention to the Senate Banking Committee’s hearing on the nomination of Gary Gensler Gary Gensler Five questions hanging over Thursday's GameStop hearing House gears up for first GameStop stock hearing On The Money: Biden calls Dems, urges big COVID bill | Biden's SEC pick sidelined as GameStop drama unfolds | Bezos stepping down as Amazon CEO MORE to run the Securities and Exchange Commission since the SEC will take the lead in making any policy changes.” The SEC — Wall Street’s top cop — is locked in a partisan 2-2 split among its ...
