The debate within the Democratic Party over Israel could come to a head this summer at its convention as it faces a significant intraparty divide on how to approach the ongoing conflict.
Members of the party critical of U.S. support for Israel amid its war with Hamas have rallied around a movement to buck President Biden in the Democratic primaries and vote "uncommitted" as a protest vote against him. The movement has seen moderate success and attained some delegates to be sent to the convention, which will be held in Chicago in August. |

Artificial intelligence (AI) is playing an expanding — and often invisible — role in America's legal system. While AI tools are being used to inform criminal investigations, there is often no way for defendants to challenge their digital accuser or even know what role it played in the case.
"Under current law in most jurisdictions, [prosecutors] don't have to disclose artificial intelligence use to the judge or defense counsel," Rebecca Wexler, professor of law at the University of California, Berkeley, told The Hill. |

While abortion advocates cheered the latter decision, the court's opinions reveal deep reservations about abortion. Indeed, despite narrowly allowing the referendum to move forward by a 4-3 vote, a supermajority of justices signaled their view that pre-born children are "persons" entitled to the right to life under the Florida Constitution. |

OPINION | "Are you better off today than you were four years ago?"
