Wade. Frustration among activists was palpable this week after a vote to advance a long-shot bill to codify Roe's protections failed to garner even 50 votes in the Democratic-held Senate. Outside groups say the ensuing calls by President Biden and members of his party to elect more pro-choice candidates in the upcoming midterm elections ring hollow and fail to grasp the urgency of the moment. |

The congressional panel investigating last year's attack on the U.S. Capitol is leaving open all enforcement options — including criminal contempt — for subpoenaed GOP lawmakers who refuse to cooperate in the probe. |

The leaked draft Supreme Court decision suggesting Roe v. Wade is set to be overturned has raised the stakes for a number of attorney general races in states with laws that could further restrict abortion access. |

OPINION | This proposal should be alarming to all Americans as it would drastically expand the IRS's powers and create new complexity in the tax code. It could grow to hit millions of Americans over time, harm the economy, and is very likely unconstitutional. |
OPINION | Why should we expect world leaders to mention children and youth? Children and youth do constitute over half of the world's population and the majority population in many countries. They just do not have a voice. In February, 33 U.S. advocacy organization CEOs sent President Biden a letter urging him to use the Second Global COVID-19 Summit to center children and youth in global, national and local response plans, citing the decades of progress lost — especially for those with underlying vulnerabilities due to gender, disability or socioeconomic status. Again, our leaders failed to see the overall impact of the pandemic on children and youth. |
