Description

Today’s Headlines: In a busy day of legal and legislative developments, the U.S. Supreme Court has agreed to hear a case challenging the Biden administration's policy on the abortion pill mifepristone, with potential far-reaching implications for abortion access. Separately, the Supreme Court is set to rule on former President Trump's claim of absolute immunity from prosecution. The House of Representatives passed a bipartisan resolution condemning antisemitism on college campuses, although the vote faced opposition over its call for the resignation of Harvard and MIT presidents. The House also voted to authorize an impeachment inquiry into President Biden, triggered by concerns about his involvement in his son Hunter's foreign business dealings. Meanwhile, President Biden announced a temporary solution to provide Ukraine with $200 million in military aid amid congressional deadlock, and the Federal Reserve decided to leave interest rates unchanged. In other news, 18 children in California filed a lawsuit against the EPA, alleging a failure to protect them from the impacts of climate change, and Tesla is recalling over 2 million vehicles due to safety concerns related to its Autopilot features.
