Biden declares Israel and Ukraine support is vital for US security, will ask Congress for billions

Quick Glance: White House Requests Nearly $106 Billion for Israel, Ukraine, and Border

President Biden emphasizes in an Oval Office address that funding for Israel and Ukraine is in the national interest.

Many House Republicans aim to reduce government spending, particularly for foreign aid and conflicts.

Congress approved over $112 billion in aid for Ukraine in 2022, but the White House states that the funds are running out.

Biden requested $24 billion to support Ukraine through December, with a significant portion allocated to military aid.

Quick Glance: Racist Language in Real Estate Documents

A century ago, visionary developers planned suburbs with extensive green spaces, winding roads, and attractive design, but also included racist restrictions in real estate documents to maintain white neighborhoods permanently.

Real estate developers spread racial clauses nationwide, and later the federal government supported them through redlining.

Although racial restrictions became illegal through a 1948 court ruling and the Fair Housing Act of 1968, the language still exists in the documents and its effects are noticeable.

Researchers from the University of Minnesota began mapping racial restrictions in 2016.

Feds say hospitals broke the law by refusing to provide life-saving abortion: A complaint said a hospital denied care due to the "political environment."

abcnews.go.com/Politics/feds-hospitals-broke-law-refusing-provide-life-saving/story

Quick Glance: Feds say Missouri and Kansas hospitals that rejected emergency abortions violated the law.

Two hospitals that refused to offer an emergency abortion to a pregnant woman who was in premature labor endangered her life and violated federal law, according to a first-of-its-kind federal inquiry.

The inquiry focuses on Freeman Health System in Joplin, Missouri, and the University of Kansas Hospital in Kansas City, Kansas, which refused to perform an abortion on a Missouri woman whose water broke at 17 weeks of pregnancy in August.

The University of Kansas Health System provides appropriate, stable, and quality care to all of its patients, including obstetric patients, in accordance with federal and Kansas law."

President Biden rejected a Republican plan to cut government spending and extend the debt ceiling on Wednesday, calling the measures "wacko" and threatening a catastrophic federal default.

"President Biden, Leader Schumer, and Leader Jeffries agree that we won't negotiate over default and Republicans should pass a clean bill like they did three times in the previous administration," a White House readout of the call said, referring to the three times Congress raised the debt limit without Republicans insisting on conditions during the Trump administration.

Quick Glance: Blinken hopes to smooth over a rocky relationship with a rare trip to China.

Reuters, February 2 – There will be plenty to disagree about when US Secretary of State Antony Blinken meets his Chinese counterpart in Beijing next week, from Taiwan to chips and trade.

Blinken's visit to China will be the first by a secretary of state since Mike Pompeo met then-foreign minister Wang Yi in Beijing in October 2018, when the two dignitaries exchanged pointed remarks amid a worsening trade war.

Wendy Sherman, Deputy Secretary of State, will accompany him.

"Much like it has on other issues, [Beijing] is attempting to link cooperation with other completely unrelated issues."
