Los angeles and this is americas late news, Fox News at night. The federal Relief And Assistance that we have been providing has included fima providing 750 for folks who need immediate needs being met such as food, Baby Formula and the like. Trace fima is apparently broke. At least a part of the agency that handled money to hurricane victims. We are expecting another hurricane hitting. We do not have the funds, fima does not have the funds to make it through the season. Trace they dont have money to cover another hurricane but has plenty of money to pay for illegal immigrants. Maybe thats why the victims of Hurricane Helene say the government is nowhere to be seen im going to tell you every thing thats happening from the ground because what they are telling you is complete [bleep] on the news. They are allowing these people to [bleep] die in the mountains right now because we cant get helicopters. Theyve got money for everything else in the [bleep] world right now. Trace a Florida Sta
sitting. so she was pretty lucky. i m pamela brown in washington. you are live in the cnn newsroom. lower prescription costs, an historic national fight against climate change. senate democrats pass a scaled back version of the landmark legislation they ve chased for more than a year. it tooks months of negotiations and an exhaustive all nighter of whirl wind votes to reach a 50-50 split along party lines. vice president kamala harris then cast the deciding vote. the yeaj are 50. the nays are 50. the senate being equally divided, the vice president votes in the affirmative and the bill as amended is passed. [ applause ] cnn s melanie skin oh na is on capitol hill. reporter: if there was going to be any hurdle, it was going to be house moderates in the democratic party. but we have actually already heard this evening from two key house democrats, mikie sherrill, and josh gottheimer, that they are indeed going to support this package even though it doesn t contain s
employment? but this number comes from a establishment survey. they interview potential hirers and companies over how many people they staffed over may. that may explain the discrepancies. they re trying to figure out why there is such a big gap there. interesting to see that on the top line. again, a lot of jobs added in may. okay. jerome powell, take a look at. this that is always the question when the jobs report comes out. and what do they do with interest rates? how is the economy recovering? what direction are we headed in from this standpoint? the number i got for you is about wage growth. if i skip over here to the average hourly earnings growth this is a figure that jerome powell is looking at, 4.3%. p that is how much people are making in may compared to may have last year. that is the slower pace than the 4.4%. but that is negligible. certainly. they re saying our interest rate hikes may be working, but here s the reason why they re not working. 4.9%. that is the rat
those rising prices that we re seeing. but then you ve got to look at your budget too, right? a lot of people have a ton of subscriptions. so one of the things that i m telling people also is to cancel a lot of those subscriptions that they have that they probably don t even know that they re still paying for that they aren t aware of. as a matter of fact, pamela, there was a study this year that found that the average adult in this country, the average american thinks that they re paying about $89 a month in monthly subscriptions, those fees that are hitting your credit card or your debit card. in reality, most americans are actually paying $219 a month. so there s a big gap there, and there s a way that people can, in fact, go ahead and save. wow. then for those who are still suffering at the pump, avoid, if you can can you carpool? can you walk? you know, can you take public transit? anything you can do to have to
less in order to do what the president would like to have done. so i think what we have to do is just focus on the programs that need we need to get done. for instance, yes, i know that some are pushing to expand medicare and bring in other services. i am pushing to close the coverage gap that exists with medicaid recipients. they ve got 12 states in this country where they are low-income people getting very little medical attention because we had this big gap there. i want to see medicaid treated the same way we treat medicare. medicare is there for people who are millionaires and so long as they meet the age criteria. what about that 19-year-old who is in a family that s not getting medicaid? what do we do about that
