Description
Thousands of unionized dockworkers began striking across the country earlier this week, and it’s putting President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris in a difficult political position just weeks before the November elections.

Plus, the Treasury Department is planning to finalize rules for the production of clean hydrogen by the end of the year.
