Lawmakers in washington have only three days left to pass new spending bills if they want to avoid a government shutdown. The senate is pushing ahead to break the stalemate, advancing a temporary measure to keep the government running through november 17th. But the proposal faces long odds in the house because it includes 6 billion for ukraine, which House Republicans mostly oppose. But russia has done is wrong. And we can defend that. But we also what is watching happening right here in america right now, they have enough money to carry them through for the next 45 days in ukraine. But why does that take precedence over whats happening on the border . Senate leader Chuck Schumer accused mccarthy of, quote, wasting time on hard right bills as mccarthy is trying to pass his own temporary funding measure focused on border security. Hes planning a vote on friday, but democrats and even some republicans say the proposal is too extreme, with more than 20 senators have now called on their colleague, bob menendez of new jersey to resign as he faces bribery charges. Nearly half 1 million and gold bars were allegedly found inside his home. He says the cash was for emergency use, but he has not explained the gold. New jerseys other democratic senator, cory booker, is among those calling for menendez to step down. Now to the case against amazon. Is the trillion dollar Online Shopping behemoth a monopoly . The government says yes. And now amazon is fighting back. This morning, a groundbreaking lawsuit, the federal trade commission and 17 states are suing amazon, claiming the Online Retail giant has created a monopoly. Theyre claiming that amazon punishes vendors if they offer their products for a lower price on a competing website. They also are forcing or allegedly forcing these vendors to use their login sticks. Theyre warehousing, theyre shipping. And the suit claims amazon deters rivals and punishes sellers from lowering prices on other sites by making them invisible in search results the 1. 3 trillion company is accused of prioritizing search results for its own products and coercing sellers to use amazons fulfillment service. Nicholas parks is the president of snob foods. Com and has been selling on amazon for 21 years. We have to more than double our prices in order to compensate for all the fees in order to break even. Basically, its created a very difficult Retail Market for anybody in the retail business. Amazon firing back, defending its practices and saying if the ftc gets its way, the result would be fewer products to choose from. Higher prices, slower deliveries for consumers and reduced options for small businesses. As the lawsuit filed by the ftc is wrong on the facts and the law, the suit had long been expected, with the head of the ftc vowing to rein in tech companies. But the legal strategy is far from a sure bet. Linda khan, whos bringing this suit, has a long time history of being a critic of amazon, and her anticompetitive views dont always sit well with the courts. A couple of cases she brought, namely against microsoft and facebooks parent company, meta, were thrown out. The lawsuit does not immediately seek to break up the company, instead seeking to hold amazon to account and restore fair competition. It will likely take years to play out in court.
