President Joe Biden has called a meeting of key congressional leaders to discuss a resolution to the debt ceiling standoff as Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen warns the U.S. may default without a resolution before June 1.
Biden's call for talks follows weeks of refusing to meet with congressional Republicans to discuss a prospective resolution. The meeting has been set for May 9, the Washington Post reported, citing a "White House official."
The gathering would mark the first meeting between House Speaker Kevin McCarthy and President Joe Biden on the matter since Feb. 1. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries have also been invited.

However, at least the democrats are pretending to "come to the table". I hope the GOP holds strong and refuses to just raise the debt ceiling without some cuts in exchange. Tell Biden there is a bill the House has passed, either agree to it or be responsible for the repercussions.
McConnell agreed to shive House GOP in back
The US has horrible people making decisions that hurt all of us.
Between 10 and 2!
RE: McConnell agreed to shive House GOP in back
By now he’s probably getting tendinitis from shiving people in DC. May as well be in a maximum security prison shower.
why not tomorrow....
Just say NOPE to the dope.
Team Biden is burning America down and have asked Kevin McCarthy to get more matches.. He says HOW MANY?
“However, at least the democrats are pretending to “come to the table”
They both are always ar the table.
I’d like to see what would happen if we defaulted.
What is the point of a debt ceiling when they just keep raising it? And then one side accuses the opposers to raising it of holding the country hostage? What the hell? Don’t bother with a bloody debt ceiling! Just print money and eliminate income tax. Go all the way!
Everything’s fine. Just fine.
Oh Republic Bank - now it’s Muh Democracy Bank.
Everything’s fine.
Oh yeah debt ceiling - pesky.
Dear Joe:
Since you refused to negotiate, we wrote a bill all by ourselves. It is ready for Senate passage and your signature.
Kevin
FJB’s two, two hour work days this week must be booked up with really important things like climate change or boys who want to be girls meetings . . .
Biden and his stooge crew caught flat footed by McCarthy holding out they don’t have a budget hoped for another blank check with their government shut down propaganda.
If the had a brain they would get busted for smuggling shit.
