Are Other Rights Really At Risk If Roe Is Overturned?
5 mei 2022 · 14 min

The Supreme Court Seems Likely To Overturn Roe v. Wade
3 mei 2022 · 16 min
According to a draft opinion obtained by POLITICO, there is a five-justice conservative majority ready to strike down Roe v. Wade, the case which established a constitutionally-protected right to an abortion.

Republicans Have Momentum With Voters. It Might Be Enough for a Wave in November.
29 april 2022 · 24 min
In a new NPR/PBS NewsHour/Marist poll, 47% of registered voters surveyed said they are more likely to vote for the Republican in their district, as opposed to 44% who said they preferred a Democrat. Because congressional districts across the U.S. are drawn in a way that broadly favors Republicans, Democrats need a national lead of at least a few points to break even. The last time Republicans were up in our poll, in 2014, the party won control of both the House and the Senate. Lees meer
Despite Democrats' projected losses, though, it could still be a good year for progressives — who have the upper hand in a number of party primary races.

The Senate Surprised Itself By Passing A Bill To Make Daylight Saving Time Permanent
18 maart 2022 · 28 min
On top of aid to Ukraine and a trillion-dollar budget, Congress reauthorized the Violence Against Women Act and passed legislation which makes lynching a federal hate crime. Lees meer
They also voted to make Daylight Saving Time permanent, but only because some senators who were opposed reportedly didn't know the vote was happening.
And Black Americans are mobilizing in support of Ketanji Brown Jackson's Supreme Court nomination. If confirmed, she would be the first Black woman on the high court. Hearings begin next week.

17 maart 2022 · 14 min
For more than a year, immigration activists have been frustrated that the White House has used the pandemic as a reason to turn away hundreds of thousands of migrants before they can make a request for asylum in the United States. Lees meer

16 maart 2022 · 14 min

Politics And America's Loneliness Epidemic
15 maart 2022 · 14 min
Even before the pandemic, three in five Americans reported feeling like they are left out, poorly understood and lacking companionship. Lees meer
Communities with low social connectedness have higher rates of crime, lower educational achievement, and poorer physical health than more connected communities. As Robert Putnam's Bowling Alone documented more than 20 years ago, a frayed social fabric also makes governing much harder.
NPR's Danielle Kurtzleben talks to the author about how much worse things have gotten in the two decades since his book came out and what makes things him optimistic about the future.
Putnam's latest work is The Upswing: How America Came Together a Century Ago and How We Can Do It Again.

Once Derided As Graft, Earmarks Just Helped Congress Pass A Bipartisan Budget Deal
11 maart 2022 · 25 min
The $1.5 trillion dollar package also contained billions in aid to Ukraine. One thing that was absent? COVID relief money that the White House was banking on. Lees meer
And the 2020 Census undercounted many Black, Latino, and Native Americans. White, non-Latino Americans were overcounted. That could help to perpetuate inequality.

Exclusive: Attorney General Merrick Garland
10 maart 2022 · 13 min
The head of the Justice Department said that he is committed to unraveling the conspiracy behind the attack on the U.S. Capitol on January 6th, and reiterated that political considerations are no reason to overlook possible criminality. Lees meer
Garland is also clear-eyed about the limits on the department's ability to protect Americans' right to vote in the face of restrictive new laws passed by Republican-controlled state legislatures. Democrats in Congress repeatedly failed to pass federal voting rights legislation and the Supreme Court struck down much of the Voting Rights Act of 1965.

4 maart 2022 · 27 min
Lawmakers said in a court filing this week that the evidence they have gathered through their investigation into last year's attack on the U.S. Capitol suggests that former President Donald J. Trump conspired to commit fraud by misleading the public about the outcome of the presidential election. Lees meer
Also: The Supreme Court's conservative majority could curtail the Environmental Protection Agency's ability to regulate greenhouse gas pollution. And American oil and natural gas proponents are leveraging Russia's invasion of Ukraine to promote expanded domestic oil production, even though it would take months or years for a production boost to impact gasoline prices.
