Everything you need to know

⚖️ Texas lady loses legal battle for abortion. A mother who filed a lawsuit to attempt to abort her unborn child after 20 weeks of pregnancy was denied by the Texas Supreme Court. Doctors informed Kate Cox, the mother, that her unborn child was likely to die in the womb or soon after birth due to a genetic condition, which might potentially jeopardize her future fertility. To seek an abortion, Cox left the state.

🏳️‍⚧️ Teachers in Florida are suing over the pronoun law. Teachers who identify as transgender, both current and past, sued the Education Department of Governor Ron DeSantis over a regulation that forbade them from using their chosen pronouns while speaking to kids. According to their lawsuit, the statute is intended to "demonize and stigmatize" individuals and conflicts with prior Supreme Court rulings as well as other laws. The matter is being litigated by the Southern Poverty Law Center.

🔍 House formalizes investigation into Biden's impeachment. The impeachment investigation on President Biden, which formally started in September but was not yet formalized, was authorized by a vote of the GOP-controlled House. James Comer, the chairman of the House Oversight Committee (R-KY), claims that the action will combat “obstruction from the White House.” Following their pledge to begin contempt charges against Hunter Biden for skipping a deposition, the committee did this.

📉 In 2024, the Federal Reserve might lower interest rates. After a string of rate hikes during the Biden administration, the Federal Reserve agreed Tuesday to hold interest rates at 5.25 percent to 5.50 percent for the third consecutive meeting. By 2024, it has proposed reducing rates by roughly 75 basis points. "There is a noticeable advancement in inflation," stated Chairman Jerome Powell.

♀️ Florida High School breaches the prohibition on transgender athletes. In violation of legislation signed by Governor Ron DeSantis, Monarch High School in Coconut Creek, Florida, has been penalized and placed on administrative probation for allowing a boy to play volleyball with girls. In the United States, this is the first-ever penalty to implement a ban on transgender athletes. On the girl's squad, the male student participated in over thirty games.

What has the media been talking about recently

Because of concerns that Jewish West Bank settlers would acquire the guns, the United States is preventing the supply of firearms to Israeli law enforcement.

Netanyahu, the prime minister of Israel, said that his nation "will destroy Hamas" despite "international pressures."

According to a recent survey, the majority of Palestinians reject "that Hamas has committed atrocities against Israeli civilians."

To identify migrants, the Biden administration is erecting hundreds of monitoring towers at the border with the United States, some of which use artificial intelligence (A.I.).

A bill filed by Sen. Katie Britt (R-AL) would mandate that applicants for mail-in ballots contain documentation of U.S. citizenship.

When a student claimed that only women become pregnant on a quiz, a 10th-grade instructor in Seattle failed the kid.

After receiving questions from the media, Yale University decided against removing an Israeli salad from its cafeteria in protest of Israel.

TRENDING IN AMERICA

Republicans’ conditions for Ukraine aid

Here is what’s going on: Recently, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy of Ukraine addressed Congress to persuade dissenting members to approve President Joe Biden's $60 billion package for funding Ukraine. However, Obama departed empty-handed because Republicans won't approve any more funding for Ukraine until significant immigration reforms are included.

Why this is important: Advocates of foreign aid and intervention have long argued that the United States "can do both"—it can support its allies as well as itself. They're being held to it now by a coalition of moderate Republicans and MAGA.

What makes Zelenskyy so frantic? Ukraine's senior military declared last month that the Russo-Ukrainian War appears to be at a standstill. Russia and Ukraine have made some progress in the last few weeks.

• Without America: Russians have a huge edge in personnel, and Ukrainians fear they could gain ground and threaten important cities like Bakhmut and Avdiivka.

Why Congress refuses to budge: Under Biden's supervision, at least 10 million people have attempted to enter the country. The border is open, and senators from both parties are pressing Democrats to attach immigration reform to any legislation supporting Ukraine.

• Details: Revisions include restricting who is eligible to apply for asylum in the United States and undermining the president's authority to free certain applicants.

• Remember that any reform deal that the Senate drafts must clear the House of Representatives, and Speaker Mike Johnson is demanding that it include H.R. 2, a hardline Republican immigration bill that would, among other things, restart construction of a wall along the southern border.

WASHINGTON D.C

Biden’s LGBT rule threatens religious foster parents

Here is what's going on: A proposed rule from the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) would only allow "LGBTQI+" foster children to be maintained in foster families that validate their declared identities.

This means that, according to the law, "efforts to change or suppress a child's sexual orientation, gender identity, or gender expression" are abusive. If found guilty of this, the facilities risk losing the children that are now under their care as well as being unable to host these youngsters. Religious objections will be taken into account "on a case-by-case basis," according to the HHS.

Why it’s important: The Social Security Act's non-LGBTQ-related provisions will be used by the HHS to impose the rule. This is part of President Joe Biden's larger plan to develop policies based on contemporary ideology that Congress will never adopt. In this instance, his administration would erect obstacles for religious institutions that make significant contributions to the foster care system.

In schools: Regarding restroom access, preferred pronouns, and sports, the Biden administration is also completing regulations that would impose LGBT ideology on schools. Every regulation is predicated on the idea that sexual preferences and "gender identity" are somehow related to "sex discrimination" under federal law.

Pushback: Republican lawmakers submitted a bill to repeal the HHS regulation, and Tennessee's attorney general threatened to sue if it is implemented as is. Biden's suggested educational regulations have already been contested in court.
