Ferdinand 'Bongbong' Marcos Jr. inaugurated as Philippine president - The Washington Post

Image
MANILA — Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos Jr., son of the late dictator Ferdinand Emmanuel Marcos, was sworn in to office Thursday, sealing a family comeback that was decades in the making. Marcos Jr., 64, won a landslide victory during the May elections. More than 30 million votes were cast for him, making Marcos the first presidential candidate to obtain a majority since the revolution that ousted his father 36 years ago. His election suggests a continued preference for populist leaders among Filipinos — who were governed for the past six years by the tough-talking Rodrigo Duterte, best known internationally for a war on drugs that has left thousands dead. Burials, exhumations, outrage: A day in the endless Philippine drug war Marcos Jr., known as "Bongbong," takes office with the Philippine economy starting to recover from the pandemic. It is one of the fastest-growing nations in Southeast Asia, and many covid restrictions have been lifted. But inflation remains a thr

Demonstrators protest the US Supreme Court overturning Roe v. Wade at the Massachusetts State House in Boston on June 24, 2022. Joseph Prezioso/AFP via Getty Images The Supreme Court Friday overturned Roe v. Wade, the 50-year-old case that federally legalized abortions. Now abortion access is a confusing patchwork, with each US state in charge of its own rules. Here is a map of all 50 states showing where abortions are illegal. On Friday, the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, the nearly 50-year-old court ruling that legalized abortion across all 50 US states. Justice Samuel Alito, who authored the opinion of the court, said "the States may regulate abortion" now. Some states have been preparing for years for the possibility that Roe could be overturned. A handful of states had trigger laws designed to immediately ban abortions within their borders once the decision was reversed. Some "sanctuary states," like New York, put in place a legal framework that would pr

Roe v. Wade' overturned: Map of states with trigger laws, bans - Fast Company

Conservative lawmakers in a number of states have been preparing for this moment. [Source Image: Getty] By Christopher Zara 2 minute Read A decision by the U.S. Supreme Court on Friday overturned the landmark Roe v. Wade ruling, undoing a half-century of legal precedent that had established and maintained abortion as a protected constitutional right within the United States. The court's 6-3 vote upheld a strict abortion ban in Mississippi, while a 5-4 vote overturned Roe . The decision, widely expected after a majority court opinion leaked to the press in early May, means that the question of reproductive rights has effectively been returned to the states, where a patchwork of laws ranging from outright bans on abortion to those designed to protect women's right to choose will now be in full effect. Conservative lawmakers in a number of states have been preparing for this moment—for decades, in some cases. According to data from the Guttmacher Institute, a nonprofit that t

U.S. antitrust officials are preparing a second monopoly lawsuit against Alphabet Inc.'s Google over the company's digital advertising business, according to a person familiar with the matter, stepping up the government's claims that Google is abusing its dominance.

Image
What you need to know Google could be working on a new logo for its Google Fit service. The redesigned logo has been spotted in the app's complications in Wear OS. It's unclear when Google Fit will officially adopt the new design, but it suggests that the fitness app will coexist with Fitbit in the long run. Google may be manifesting renewed interest in its in-house health-tracking platform as new evidence suggests Google Fit will be getting a new logo. According to 9to5Google (opens in new tab) , the activity tracking app is set to receive a minor makeover that switches some colors around. The new logo has apparently been around for a while in Fit's Wear OS complications, and 9to5 has shared its own recreation based on what they were told. The new logo has several notable changes. First off, the heart logo is no longer a closed shape. The blue and yellow sections also take the shape of a checkmark, most likely emphasizing the Heart Points and Steps metrics that you see fi

The Pixel 6a is fixing one of the Pixel 5a’s biggest issues - Digital Trends

Image
The Google Pixel 6a is still a month away from hitting the shelves, but the phone has already been listed on Best Buy, complete with pricing, financing plans, pictures, and shipping date in tow. The listing carries a lot of weight, as it fixes one of Pixel 5a's biggest mistakes – extremely limited availability worsened by constrained sales channels. The Pixel 5a, which arrived in August last year, was only sold via the official Google Store. No carrier stores had it, and neither did any third-party retail partners. On top of it, the phone was only available in the U.S. and Japan, skipping markets like India where its predecessor had done quite well. It appears that Google wants to rectify those mistakes with the ambitious Pixel 6a. At Best Buy, the Pixel 6a is listed in all three colors – Charcoal, Sage, and Chalk – all of which are priced at $449 for the unlocked version with 128GB of onboard storage. Carrier-locked versions for T-Mobile and Verizon are also on offer, but th

DSA blamed for fear among journalists - newagebd.net

The Digital Security Act has created a frightening situation for reporters, compelling them to practise self-censorship instead of free journalism, said journalist leaders and editors. They gave the opinion when asked about a comment made by information and broadcasting minister Hasan Mahmud who on Wednesday said that if a journalist became scared himself the government had nothing to do about that. Manabzamin editor and also Newspaper Owners' Association of Bangladesh treasurer Matiur Rahman Chowdhury said that a scary situation was created so that none could write against corruption and misuse  of power. He said that reporters in districts could not write reports against corruption for fear of prosecution and attacks, adding that many reporters cannot even stay in their areas. He said that the

Fantasy Football Today: Is waiting on QB still the best way to win your Fantasy Football league? - CBS Sports

USATSI For years we've been telling you to wait to draft your quarterbacks, and for years you haven't been listening. Every year, so-called "expert" drafts see high-end starting quarterbacks fall to the middle rounds while the vast majority of drafts otherwise have quarterbacks routinely going off the board in the second round. And I'm starting to think we were wrong and you all were right. The 2022 edition of the CBS Sports Fantasy Football Draft Guide magazine is going to be on newsstands in the coming weeks, and in that magazine you'll see what you usually see in our mock drafts: Quarterbacks lasting much longer than they will in most drafts. The one exception? I took Josh Allen in the second  round. Three

Idaho Democrats adopt party platform, resolutions during day 2 of convention - Idaho Capital Sun

Image
The Idaho Democratic Party approved a resolution Saturday at its statewide convention that opposes laws that restrict abortion and calls for supporting access to reproductive health care.  Protecting abortion and reproductive rights have been themes during the first two days of the Idaho Democrats' convention in downtown Boise. Several Democratic political candidates, legislators and delegates called for protecting and codifying the 1973 U.S. Supreme Court's Roe v. Wade decision in light of a leaked U.S. Supreme Court draft opinion published this spring that would overturn Roe v. Wade's guarantee of a right to an abortion.  Idaho has a trigger law in place , passed by the 2021 Idaho Legislature, that would criminalize abortion as felony in the state 30 days after any U.S. Supreme Court decision is issued that overturns Roe v. Wade.  GET THE MORNING HEADLINES DELIVERED TO YOUR INBOX
