House Budget Committee Chairman Jodey Arrington, R-Texas, put out a list of more than $750 billion in possible spending cuts last month. Atop the list was repealing Biden's executive order providing some student debt forgiveness, which would restore roughly $400 billion to federal coffers.

"It is important to me that, as Wordle grows, it continues to provide a great experience to everyone," Wardle said. "Given this, I am incredibly pleased to announce that I've reached an agreement with The New York Times for them to take over running Wordle going forward."

This comes after the Met Office has issued an amber warning for wind which could cause a 'risk to life' in Northern Ireland until 7am, while a milder yellow wind warning covers England, Wales and south-western Scotland from midday until 1pm. 

President Joe Biden delivered his first State of the Union address Tuesday night. It's customary for the opposing party to deliver a rebuttal afterward. It was delivered this year by Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds 

The government has announced that the owner of Chelsea FC will also be prohibited from transactions with UK individuals and businesses.
The government could still grant him a licence to sell the club, but will need to be assured that he will not benefit financially and any proceeds would remain frozen.

In particular, GOP senators plan to make the case that with the government's income so high already, the Democrats should be cutting or reducing programs rather than raising taxes to pay for even more spending, according to one of the Republican aides.

I just finished reading a fascinating piece by Tyler Glaiel, a programmer and game designer who tried to figure out the best possible starting word. Apparently we should all be kicking off Wordle with the word "roate." Honestly, read this whole article, it's great.

National Rail has warned anyone making essential journeys once services resume to expect 'major disruption' to routes 'across most of Great Britain' - including cancellations, delays and slower speeds onboard.

'From across that check-out counter I saw the pain of inflation on my neighbors' faces. I saw what happens when prices rise faster than wages,' she said. 'The Biden administration believes inflation is a quote-"high-class problem." I can tell you, it's an everybody problem.' 

Wordle gives players six chances to guess a randomly selected five-letter word. As shown above, if you have the right letter in the right spot, it shows up green. A correct letter in the wrong spot shows up yellow. A letter that isn't in the word in any spot shows up gray. 

President Joe Biden (pictured on Sunday) will propose raising taxes on Americans earning more than $400,000 and reducing what Medicare pays for prescription drugs in a bid to fix an imminent funding crisis

Who made Wordle? Wordle is the work of software engineer Josh Wardle, who originally created the game for his partner, a fan of word games, and tells the BBC it will never become laden with ads. Extremely online people may remember Wardle as the creator of Place, an utterly wild collaborative art project/social experiment that sent the internet into a tizzy in April 2017.

What is Wordle? Wordle is a daily word game you can find online here. It's fun, simple and, like a crossword, can only be played once a day. Every 24 hours there's a new word of the day, and it's up to you to figure out what it is. The site itself does a fantastic job of explaining the rules:

The changes would help shore up a key trust fund that pays for Medicare, which provides health care for older adults. According to the White House, the changes would keep the fund solvent until the 2050s, about 25 years longer than currently expected.

 So instead, congressional Republicans this week will highlight the tax increases that Biden will outline in his budget proposal, betting that their arguments will sway voters at a time when inflation continues to hit consumers' pockets.

As forecasters have warned that Medicare won't be able to pay out its promised benefits in just five years, Biden says that with his proposal, the program will be bolstered for at least another 25 years. 

Biden's proposal would raise the Medicare tax rate, created by the Affordable Care Act, from 3.8 percent to 5 percent for all Americans earning more than $400,000 per year, including salaries and capital gains.

'Now all Americans must stand united in solidarity with the brave people of Ukraine as they courageously defend their country against Putin's tyranny, as they fight for their freedom,' Reynolds said. 

'Republicans believe that parents matter. It was true before the pandemic and has never been more important to say out loud: Parents Matter,' she said. 'They have a right to know, and to have a say in, what their kids are being taught.'

Phillip Swagel, director of the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office, issued guidance on Monday saying that projected deficits would need to be cut by $5 trillion during the next decade to match the 50-year historical average.
