Abortions are up in the US. It’s a complicated picture as women turn to pills, travel
SUMMARY: Since the U.S. Supreme Court’s 2022 overturning of Roe v. Wade, abortion has become more common despite state bans. Abortion access has shifted, with bans reducing procedures in some states while increasing reliance on abortion pills, which now account for about two-thirds of abortions. Telehealth prescriptions for pills are rising, sparking legal battles. Travel for abortion is more common, especially in states like Texas. Some states with bans, like Florida, have seen drastic reductions in abortions, while others, such as Illinois, Kansas, and New Mexico, have expanded clinics. Voter support for abortion rights remains strong, with several states adding protections.

Musk and MAGA are fighting over H-1B visas. How do they work?
SUMMARY: Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy are facing backlash from President Trump’s base after expressing support for the H-1B visa program, designed to attract international talent but criticized for its complexity and abuse potential. The controversy intensified on Musk’s social media platform X, with criticism from far-right figures like Laura Loomer. The debate was reignited by comments from Sriram Krishnan, who suggested lifting green card caps for skilled immigrants. Recently, the Biden administration clarified H-1B application rules. The H-1B visas are limited to 65,000 annually, with an additional 20,000 for advanced degree holders, often leading to a lottery selection process.
