An agreement on the US debt ceiling has not yet been reached. Republican Speaker Kevin McCarthy calls tonight’s negotiation with President Joe Biden “productive.”
“We don’t have an agreement yet, but I felt the discussion was productive in areas where we have different views,” McCarthy said on his way out of the White House late Monday night, local time.
If no agreement is reached before June 1, the US government risks suspending its payments. (TT)

“Preliminary investigation against PM Nilsson closed”
It’s strange… “nice” gentlemen like this never go there, no matter WHAT they’ve done. Don’t we have equality before the law in this country…?!

Nilsson was sentenced for the 15 eels he pulled up in September 2021. Then he was caught red-handed and eventually had to pay SEK 38,000 in fines.
The preliminary investigation that has now been closed concerned suspected poaching since 2008. Apparently, not enough evidence was found to continue investigating.
