In just a few moments, I will vote against the so-called SAVE America Act and I am a strong no. That's because this bill would place unnecessary burdens on millions of women and eligible citizens to register to vote and make their voices heard. It is un-American & undermines our democracy.

NEW: Oklahoma regulators discovered strong signs of oil pollution, including high levels of salt and toxic metals, in one family’s drinking water.
But for two years, they repeatedly delayed basic tests to find the culprit — then closed the case.

Klein: People are afraid to come into clinics or hospitals because they’re afraid they’ll be snatched. So they’re staying home with acute conditions like appendicitis. They’re not going to their follow-up neonatal appointments. They’re allowing their jaundiced babies to go untreated.

If you are building a business fit for the future, where do you focus? It could mean working out how to prepare your workforce to get the best from AI, or investing in quantum computing. Other companies may be focused on climate resilience and the transition to net zero. And every leader will be keeping a close eye on geopolitics and shifts in trade policy.
