Trump’s abortion position? Leave it up to the states

This week, former President Donald Trump took credit for leaving
decisions about abortion bans up to individual states, while
pledging to maintain that choice for states if he’s re-elected.
Can we expect the lack of federal guidance on individual rights
to continue? And will Republican supporters hold any ill will for
his lack of commitment to a classic conservative value?


President Biden openly criticized Benjamin Netanyahu’s deadly
campaign in Gaza following last week’s attack on World Central
Kitchen aid workers. In an interview with Univision, Biden called
for a temporary ceasefire and for Israel to allow more aid into
Gaza. It’s a significant change of attitude publicly for the
president. It could appease some more moderate observers who take
issue with Israel’s military strategy. But many on the left
believe nothing has actually changed regarding U.S. policy with
Israel.


President Biden vowed to federally fund the rebuild of
Baltimore’s Francis Scott Key Bridge following a tragic accident
late last month. That promise could be slowed by opposition to
commit taxpayer dollars towards the project without certain
guarantees. We hear and use the phrase “taxpayer dollars” so
often, but what does it really mean?
