Senator Chris Coons (D-DE) said Friday on “MSNBC Reports” that the Supreme Court’s Dobbs decision overturning Roe v. Wade meant access to contraception, marriage equality, clean air, and clean water are now on the line. Coons said, “I was speechless when I heard just in the last hour that a conservative majority on the Supreme Court has struck down a 50-year established liberty, a right of freedom, and has changed the lives of tens of millions of American women, and will make even more unequal access to reproductive health care.” He continued, “I’m left wondering, what else is next with this activist conservative majority? What other well-established long-standing rights to privacy to freedom are at risk. This is a day I will never forget where I was when I heard this Dobbs decision came down. It’s hundreds of pages. I have not read through it yet, but my understanding from my chief counsel is that the concurrence by Justice Thomas points the way to even more grave … [Read more...] about Coons: Access to Contraception, Marriage Equality, Clean Air, Clean Water on the Line After Dobbs Ruling

Inflation Hits New 40-Year High As Price Increases Spread
16 Business Report underscores fears inflation has spread beyond energy and goods, whose prices are driven up by supply chain issues and Ukraine war. Associated Press , News Partner Posted Replies WASHINGTON — The prices of gas, food and most other goods and services jumped in May, raising inflation to a new four-decade high and giving American households no respite from rising costs. Consumer prices surged 8.6 percent last month from a year earlier, faster than April's year-over-year increase of 8.3 percent, the Labor Department said Friday. The new inflation figure, the highest since 1981, will heighten pressure on the Federal Reserve to continue raising interest rates aggressively. On a month-to-month basis, prices jumped 1 percent from April to May, much faster than the 0.3 percent increase from March to April. Contributing to that surge were much higher prices for everything from airline tickets to restaurant meals to new and … [Read more...] about Inflation Hits New 40-Year High As Price Increases Spread

Bipartisan Gun Violence Bill 1st Significant Curb On Guns In 29 Years
22 Politics & Government The bipartisan bill would make the most significant curbs on firearms since an assault weapons ban in the 1990s that was allowed to expire. Beth Dalbey , Patch Staff Posted | Updated Replies ACROSS AMERICA — Fourteen Republicans joined Democrats in boosting a bipartisan gun violence bill past an initial procedural hurdle in the Senate on Tuesday in a 64-34 vote.

0 This post was contributed by a community member. The views expressed here are the author's own. Arts & Entertainment A stunning release Jennifer Perez , Community Contributor Posted Reply Jesse Rivest is a singer-songwriter, guitarist, and self-producing artist. An observant, introspective, yet adventurous soul, his songs aren't written seeking to effect change. However, the fact that he's been writing and performing them for about 20 years, all the while living around the world leaving light footprints, has had an unintentional consequence. With his new single "Nostargic," he draws a parallel, allured by the idea that perhaps memories are like starlight, still reaching us long after their sources have burned out. A dose of nostalgia can stone us as much as a starry sky; both are intoxicating encounters with something that once was. The fire pit in the music video ties in with the penultimate lyric, "if I could I'd find … [Read more...] about Jesse Rivest Comes Alive on “Nostargic”
