Biden says he will decide on federal gas tax holiday 'by the end of the week'

President Joe Biden is considering a gas tax holiday as pump prices hover around $5 – a move that could lower prices by 18.3 cents per gallon. He announced Monday that he hopes to make a decision on it by the end of the week as the administration looks for ways to ease record fuel prices in a midterm election year. He said he is considering a pause on the federal gas tax, which some lawmakers in his party have pushed as a way to reduce prices at the pump for Americans. The 18.4 cents per gallon comes from 18.3 cents in excise tax plus 0.1 cent in a storage fee. For diesel, it is 24.3 cents plus the 0.1-cent fee. The national average price for a gallon was $4.981 on Monday, according to AAA.

Americans honor Juneteenth and promote social justice 

Many Americans gathered Sunday for Juneteenth celebrations and parades to observe Black freedom. Juneteenth commemorates the official end of slavery in the USA, when people in Galveston, Texas, learned of their freedom on June 19, 1865, more than two years after President Abraham Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation. The inaugural commemoration was in 1866, and Juneteenth was officially recognized as a federal holiday in 2021.

CDC recommends COVID-19 vaccines for youngest Americans
