Rep. Debbie Dingell (D-Mich) said President Biden should not intervene in negotiations between the United Auto Workers (UAW) union and automakers amid an ongoing strike. “First of all, I do not believe that the President should intervene or be at the negotiating table. I’ve said that from the beginning,” Dingell said, in an interview with “Face The Nation” moderator Margaret Brennan on Sunday.

On Tuesday’s “PBS NewsHour,” Rep. Debbie Dingell (D-MI) stated that communities are worried about the clawback of COVID money in the debt ceiling bill because “they thought they had until 2024 to spend that money.” And that she has been telling communities, “if you need that money, you should be spending it now.” Dingell said, “First of all, I still feel like we’re being held hostage. The fact of the matter is, the country cannot default, period. And the consequences are scary and intimidating. We would be harming our economy for years to come, hurting seniors, veterans, children. I could...

On Sunday’s broadcast of MSNBC’s “Velshi,” Rep. Debbie Dingell (D-MI) stated that she is “really” “annoyed” that there are cuts for new IRS workers in the debt ceiling agreement between President Joe Biden and House Speaker Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-CA), but “there is nothing I can do about it,” people shouldn’t refuse to vote for the deal over it, and she doesn’t think the IRS provision is going to be “enough to make anybody vote against the bill.” Dingell said that while she can’t say how she’ll vote on the deal until she actually sees the text of a bill,...

Rep. Debbie Dingell (D-Mich.) canceled a planned trip to officiate a wedding in Italy to remain available for a possible vote to raise the debt ceiling in the coming days. Dingell said Friday in an interview with The Hill on NewsNation that the situation where Congress even needs to vote to raise the debt ceiling for the country to avoid a potential default shows irresponsibility on the part of the members.

This poor democrat congresswoman agreed to a live interview with Fox News' Maria Bartiromo. BIG mistake. Whew....

Led by Dr Aaron Lim of UCC’s School of Biological, Earth and Environmental Sciences (BEES), used the Marine Institute’s Holland 1 Remotely Operated Vehicle (ROV) the team believes the new discovery will aid in understanding more about the transportation of carbon to the deep ocean.

Usually Congressional subcommittee hearings are as routine and tedious as they sound, but John Dingell managed to enliven one on Thursday. The venerable Michigan Democrat had the candor to point out that if climate change is really the transcendent challenge his party says it is, then Congress should bother to pass legislation, not outsource policy to the Environmental Protection Agency. For months, the little tyrants of the global warming caucus – Barbara Boxer, Henry Waxman, Ed Markey – have been trying to force the EPA into declaring that carbon dioxide is a dangerous pollutant under current clean air laws, which...

Anti-life "HillaryCare" Socialized Med Scheme Back as House Passes CHAMP Bill; Senate Follows Suit Today Cuts funding for abstinence, covers abortifacient drugs, leaves Seniors with less options By Peter J. Smith WASHINGTON, D.C., August 2, 2007 (LifeSiteNews.com) - The advent of socialized health care and massive taxpayer abortion subsidies may take the United States by stealth, unless the new health care bill proposed by Democrats Sen.

Watts, MarketWatch Last Update: 3:22 PM ET Oct 18, 2006 WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) -- If Democrats take control of the House in the Nov. 7 midterm elections, the man who would hold the gavel of one of its most powerful committees won't have to worry too much about the learning curve. Rep. John Dingell of Michigan, the longest-serving current member of the House, would be picking up where he left off in 1994 when Republicans ended...

The Nod. Perhaps THE turning point in the campaign came at the 9 minute and 45 second mark of Debate Number 3. In what I believe was a calculated attempt to intimidate Bush, Gore walks up to Bush, sticks his hand in his pocket, gets even closer... Bush is in the middle of giving a good response on HMOs, sees Gore, nods, and then ignores him and proceeds with his statement. The audience laughs. IT DIDN'T WORK! Gore knew it. Look at his reaction as he realizes that Naomi Wolf's latest "Alpha Male" ploy didn't work, as he was looking...

I guess Al Sharpton's campaign really is scaring the democrats! Looks like they are trying to bring back Algore.

<p>DEARBORN -- She spoke with a trembling, but determined voice, issuing an impassioned plea for family and friends still living in Iraq.</p> <p>"On behalf of all the mothers, sisters, wives and daughters in Iraq, Saddam Hussein must go," said Miad Konja, of Franklin Village, who is majoring in math at the University of Michigan-Dearborn.

He has killed his own people and he must go."</p>
