Democrats push to restore jobless benefits amid filibuster
Senate Democrats aim to extend unemployment aid for 2.5 million people whose checks ended during a deficit stalemate. President Obama frames it as the right move, while pressing Republicans to allow a vote. He accuses GOP leaders of blocking relief after criticizing past tax breaks for the wealthy. Republicans say benefits must be offset by spending cuts within the $3.7 trillion budget.

Leaking oil cap kept in place amid Gulf well checks
BP’s ruptured Gulf well leaked again after capping last week as officials watched pressure and underwater cameras. Admiral Thad Allen said the small seepage is likely not consequential, and the cap may stay closed for at least 24 hours while engineers monitor for larger leaks.
