A handful of purple and red states are poised to be the next battlegrounds in the abortion rights fight after advocates won a major victory in Ohio this month. Ohioans passed a proposed constitutional amendment earlier this month that enshrines abortion rights protections — seen as a major feat in a state that has trended increasingly red in recent years. |

Voting starts in just a few weeks for the GOP's 2024 presidential primary, and early-state results could significantly shape the crowded field and even solidify the Republican nominee for the White House. Former President Trump remains the front-runner by a significant margin in most polling, while the rest of the party's presidential hopefuls have been jostling for months to best each other and stand out as the strongest Trump challenger. |

President Biden's reelection will largely come down to how he performs in six key battleground states in 2024 as he prepares for a rematch against former President Trump. Despite Biden's considerable pickups in 2020, some Democrats are sounding the alarm about his chances next year and are careful not to be overly optimistic. |

President Biden said Friday that he expects Americans to be among dozens of hostages released by Hamas in Gaza this week during a truce deal in the Israel-Hamas war. At a press conference Friday, Biden said he could not confirm the health status of the approximately 10 Americans believed to be held hostage by Hamas, but that he "expects" some of them to be among the 50 hostages planned to be released in the coming days. |

The battle among Democrats over U.S. policy on Israel has found a new front this month in the form of liberal calls to set "conditions" on any new military aid delivered to Tel Aviv. A number of leading progressives in both the House and Senate have warned in recent days that they would oppose any aid package that fails to apply new limits on Israel's forceful engagement with Palestinians in the wake of Hamas's brutal attacks on Israeli civilians last month, including strikes in Gaza that have killed thousands more Palestinian civilians. |

President Biden conceded to critics within his party Friday that calls to put specific conditions on aid to Israel are a "worthwhile thought" amid the country's war against Hamas in Gaza. But at a press conference marking a four-day truce in the war to free 50 hostages taken by Hamas, Biden also implied that those conditions could hamper diplomacy. |

About two dozen hostages were released by Hamas in Gaza on Friday, the first wave of what is expected to be 50 released by the terrorist organization as part of a four-day cease-fire in the war with Israel in Gaza. On the other side of the deal Friday, Israel released 39 Palestinian prisoners — mostly women and teenagers. |

A bipartisan pair of senators is working on what they see as a compromise to address a persistent pollution problem. Sens. Shelley Moore Capito (R-W.Va.) and Tom Carper (D-Del.) are looking to tackle a class of chemicals called PFAS that are known to linger in the environment and have been linked to health issues including cancer, weakened immune systems and high cholesterol. |

Rep. Dean Phillips (D-Minn.) announced Friday that he will not seek reelection in 2024 as he continues a long-shot primary challenge to President Biden. "It's been the most joyful experience of my life representing the most civically engaged community in the nation in Congress," Phillips said on X, formerly Twitter. "But it's time to pass the torch, it's time for change, and our best days are yet to come!" |

OPINION | There has been much speculation that the military and intelligence failure to prevent the Hamas terror attack on Oct. 7 (which became known in Israel as the "Black Shabbat") means that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's days in office are numbered.
But Netanyahu is signaling that he will not step down without a fight. He is preparing the ground for blaming military officials for the failure and continuing to promote the overhaul of the judiciary, which was at the center of the political debate in Israel in the months before Hamas's attack. |
OPINION | Medical professionals know that sharing clear and accurate health information with patients empowers them to make wise decisions that set them on a path to healthier living. Educating patients about their prescription medications is especially important. Since millions of Americans rely on prescription medication, effective patient medication information (PMI) is more important than ever. |
