\n

A group of female Pennsylvania voters who backed former President Donald Trump in 2020 and support at least some abortion rights said in focus group interviews that they don’t see their views on abortion as a barrier to voting for Trump again in 2024.

\n\n

Despite labeling abortion as a top issue facing women in America, most of the women who participated in the two focus groups said they’d back Trump in a rematch against President Joe Biden, explaining that other issues are more important to their vote.

\n\n

The participants largely refused to hold Trump responsible for the end of Roe v. Wade, though he appointed three of the five Supreme Court justices who backed the June 2022 decision.

A Massachusetts Air National Guard member was arrested Thursday in connection with the disclosure of highly classified military documents about the Ukraine war and other top national security issues, an alarming breach that has raised fresh questions about America’s ability to safeguard its most sensitive secrets.

\n\n

The guardsman, an IT specialist identified as 21-year-old Jack Teixeira, was taken into custody without incident after FBI officers converged on his Massachusetts home. Attorney General Merrick Garland said he is to be charged with removing or transmitting classified national defense information, a crime under the Espionage Act.

OG worked inside a secure facility that prohibited cellphones and other electronic devices, which could be used to document the secret information housed on government computer networks or from printed material.

There is increasing evidence that the leak was not an intelligence operation by a state actor aiming to discredit the US, but more likely the consequence of a Pentagon policy of granting top secret security clearances to huge numbers of service members, civilians and contractors. The number of employees and contractors in the entire US government with top secret clearance is about 1.25 million.

\n\n

However, the Washington Post said the teen member, who had been in touch with OG “in the past few days” had yet to be interviewed by any federal law enforcement officials by the time of publication on Wednesday night, even though the justice department began a criminal investigation and an FBI manhunt was launched at the beginning of the week.

The Washington Post traced the Pentagon papers leak to a man named OG on Discord.

\n\n

He was the leader of a group of young gamers who loved guns, military gear, and God, per the outlet.

OG said he worked on a military base and sent his gamer friends hundreds of secrets, per WaPo.

North Dakota’s Republican Gov. Doug Burgum on Tuesday evening signed two transgender athlete bans into law, effectively prohibiting transgender girls and women from joining female sports teams in K-12 and college.

\n\n

At least 19 other states have imposed restrictions on transgender athletes. And Republican lawmakers across the U.S. have drafted hundreds of laws this year to push back on LGBTQ+ freedoms, especially targeting transgender people’s everyday lives — including sports, health care, bathrooms, workplaces and schools.

Churches are closing at rapid numbers in the US, researchers say, as congregations dwindle across the country and a younger generation of Americans abandon Christianity altogether – even as faith continues to dominate American politics.

\n\n

As the US adjusts to an increasingly non-religious population, thousands of churches are closing each year in the country – a figure that experts believe may have accelerated since the Covid-19 pandemic.

\n\n

In 2017 Lifeway surveyed young adults aged between 18 and 22 who had attended church regularly, for at least a year during high school. The firm found that seven out of 10 had stopped attending church regularly.

\n\n

The younger generation just doesn’t feel like they’re being accepted in a church environment or some of their choices aren’t being accepted

Drivers License for All

\n\n

https://www.inforum.com/news/minnesota/minnesota-house-weighs-drivers-licenses-for-people-in-u-s-illegally

\n\n
\n

A Minnesota House panel is hearing testimony on a bill that would allow people in the U.S. illegally to obtain a driver's license, a long-held goal of immigration advocates that may gain more traction this year in a Democratic-Farmer-Labor controlled state government.

\n\n

The “Driver’s Licenses For All” bill, sponsored by Rep. Aisha Gomez, DFL-Minneapolis, would remove the requirement for license applicants to provide proof of citizenship or lawful presence in the U.S. Minnesota created the requirement 20 years ago, barring those without legal status from obtaining a license.

IL Latest State with Assault Weapon Ban

\n\n
\n

Illinois on Tuesday became the latest U.S. state to ban the sale or possession of semiautomatic weapons.

\n\n

Just hours after the legislation's passage in both chambers of the Illinois General Assembly, Gov. J.B. Pritzker signed the "Protect Illinois Communities Act" into law during a ceremony at the State Capitol in Springfield. Supporters, some of whom were gun violence survivors, erupted with applause and cheers as the governor presented the signed document.

Doctors Want to Give The Bad News

\n\n

https://www.politico.com/news/2023/01/09/doctors-test-results-patients-00076843

\n\n
\n

Congress was full of good intentions when it directed the Department of Health and Human Services to make sure patients get their test results as soon as they’re available.

\n\n

But the implementation of that directive has set off a battle between doctors on one side and HHS and patient advocates on the other, and raised a fundamental question: How should patients get bad news? The debate underscores how medicine’s digital transformation is changing the doctor-patient relationship and upending ingrained practices.

DFL’ers from the Minnesota House and Senate joined advocates today (Thu) to announce legislation to legalize adult-use cannabis in the state.

\n\n

Rep. Zach Stephenson, the bill’s House author, says it will create a “safe, well-regulated legal marketplace, including best practices for consumer protection, health, and public safety.”

\n\n

He said it also includes a “robust expungement program, so people who have disproportionately been caught in the criminal justice system due to cannabis can move on with their lives. Minnesota is ready for legalization.”

\n\n

Stephenson says current laws do more harm than good.

\n\n

“State and local governments are spending millions enforcing laws that aren’t helping anyone, money that could be put to far better purposes,” he said. “There is a better way, where we’re honest about cannabis and its impact, and model our laws accordingly.”

\n\n

The bill had its first reading today (Thu). It was referred to the Commerce Finance and Policy Committee.

A woman who bought a tiny home is taking legal action against her city, which threatened to fine her $1,000 a day if she continued living in it, because the action left her unhoused.

\n\n

Chasidy Decker of Meridian, Idaho, couldn't afford to buy a house, so she opted for the 252-square-foot tiny home and arranged to put it on Robert Calacal's property for $600 a month, according to the lawsuit.

\n\n

A neighbor called the Meridian Police Department when the tiny home arrived on the property and asked whether living in it would be legal.

\n\n

In May, a day after Decker moved in, a Meridian city-code-enforcement officer threatened both Decker and Calacal with criminal prosecution and fines of $1,000 a day unless she moved out

U.S. Senator Kevin Cramer says his opposition to the Fufeng project was known long before the review by the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States.

\n\n

Cramer says he was happy to support the request by the City of Grand Forks for the analysis. Cramer says while the CFIUS study will be useful – it’s not a definitive report.

\n\n

Cramer’s says he first expressed his concerns about the company’s ties to China sometime last year. He discussed the opposition timing as a guest on KNOX’s “Critical Thought” program today (Thursday). “The question for Fufeng in going forward is do we want the Air Force to mitigate risks or do we want to minimize risks. I would rather minimize those risks and make Grand Forks the most defense-military friendly city in America to grow missions at the Grand Forks Air Force Base.”

Labor Board Takes Aim at Workplace Spying

The U.S.' top worker lawyer plans to crack down on businesses' ability to spy on their workers.

\n\n

"Close, constant surveillance and management through electronic means threaten employees' basic ability to exercise their rights," Jennifer Abruzzo wrote in the memo.

\n\n

The use of workplace monitoring devices exploded during the pandemic. About 60% of large employers use monitoring tools today, double the pre-pandemic level, Newsweek reports. And white-collar workers' shift to remote work means millions more employees today are subject to so-called bossware: Software that screenshots the websites they visit, records their faces and voices, logs their keystrokes, tracks their locations and monitors their calls and text messages.

Critical Thought

November 01, 2022

\n\n

Some are questioning the legal ambiguity in current North Dakota law. Do we need to amend the law or is it compatible with saving a mothers life?

Pre-Write Abortion Ban Takes Effect in North Dakota

\n\n
\n

North Dakota lawmakers passed a bipartisan bill in 2007 that would outlaw abortion in the state within 30 days if the U.S. Supreme Court overturned the landmark 1973 Roe v. Wade decision. The high court’s Dobbs v. Jackson ruling in June triggered the 15-year-old legislation.

\n\n

The clinic, which was North Dakota's lone abortion provider, sued the state in July after Wrigley set off a 30-day countdown by certifying the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision.

\n\n

In the months that followed, Romanick twice blocked the trigger law a day before it was due to take effect, saying Wrigley's certification was premature. Wrigley has said he acted according to the law.

\n\n

If the 2007 state law takes effect, it would make performing an abortion a Class C felony, punishable by up to five years in prison and a $10,000 fine. A pregnant woman cannot be penalized for performing an abortion on herself.

\n\n

Abortions would still be permitted if the mother's life is in danger and in cases of rape or incest, though a medical provider may still have to prove in court the procedure was justified.
