The US Senate approved an amendment to Friday’s COVID-19 relief package that pledges to keep the US Embassy to Israel in Jerusalem, reaffirming the 2018 decision by former President Donald Trump to relocate it from Tel Aviv.
The amendment, included in a budget measure approving a $1.9 trillion stimulus package, passed by a 97-3 vote, with only Senators Tom Carper (D-DE), Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) and Bernie Sanders (D-VT) voting against it. The broader pandemic relief measure passed narrowly, 51-50, with Vice President Kamala Harris casting the tie-breaking vote.

If we re to believe that rough-housing with the President-elect s dog led to a hairline foot fracture, then we need to respect Biden s delicate health and his desire for a faithful furry companion without the risk of tripping, biting, scratching, clawing, transferring fleas, smothering the Leader of the Free World in his sleep, or a lethal bout with kennel cough.
