Tuesday’s hearing marks the first time the right-wing Court has listened to a case relating to abortion access since their decision to overturn Roe v. Wade in 2022.
The Republican Study Committee’s proposed budget calls for cutting Social Security and Medicare and banning abortion after 15 weeks nationwide. It would also pose a threat to IVF and slash funding for rental assistance and programs that help build housing, and more.
The president's budget includes proposals to lower childcare costs, create a paid family leave program, lower drug costs, and strengthen Social Security and Medicare—all by raising taxes on the wealthy and corporations.
“Many of you in this chamber and my predecessor are promising to pass a national ban on reproductive freedom,” Biden said to Republicans. “My God, what freedoms will you take away next?”
Biden called on Congress to pass a mortgage relief credit that would give first-time homebuyers an annual tax credit of up to $5,000 a year for two years. He also endorsed legislation to build and renovate roughly 2 million homes and vowed to crack down on "big landlords who break antitrust laws by price-fixing and driving up rents."
The actions announced last week will promote fairer rental markets, boost the supply of affordable housing and manufactured homes, and help families who are struggling to make ends meet.
More than 45 million Americans who are charged late fees on credit cards each year will save an average of $220 annually under the new rule.
Upon hitting store shelves, Opill will become the most effective birth control method available without a prescription.
According to the White House, a family of three in North Carolina earning $44,000 annually could stand to save close to $110 per month under this new rule.
The Alabama Supreme Court directly cited the Dobbs decision—in which the US Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade—in its ruling that effectively bans IVF in the state. But amid furious public backlash, Donald Trump and Republicans have raced to distance themselves from the ruling they made possible.
