 Setting out from home to collect firewood on a cool spring morning last year, Harshini Wanninayake and her mother had no idea only one of them would come back alive. The pair were walking to a nearby forest from Eriyawa, a village in north-west Sri Lanka, when they heard a loud rustling close by. WorkWorkWorkFight Over Texas Law Underscores a Battle of America vs. Its States
 “We’re seeing stuff we’ve never seen in the modern era,” said Heather K. Gerken, the dean of Yale Law School who has written about contemporary federalism. “It’s really stunning what kind of proxy war is taking place. It’s all because the vicious partisanship that has long been a feature of Washington has now filtered down to the states.” WorkNetanyahu Assails Schumer, Dramatizing Partisan Split Over Israel
 President Biden called it a “good speech” and some Democrats applauded Mr. Schumer for speaking out at a moment when Israel’s offensive against Hamas has resulted in tens of thousands of deaths in Gaza, including civilians. But conservative Jewish groups and Republicans were stunned and dismayed, and accused Mr. Schumer of crossing a dangerous line. WorkLed by Its Youth, U.S. Sinks in World Happiness Report
 But this was the first time that the consortium separated results by age, finding disparities in the views of younger and older Americans. Among the 143 countries surveyed, the United States ranked 10th for people 60 and older, but 62nd for people under 30. The happiest young people are in Lithuania, while the unhappiest are in Afghanistan. WorkTrump Indicates He Would Back a 15-Week Federal Abortion Ban
 A KFF poll released this month found that 58 percent of Americans opposed a 16-week ban. In Virginia last year, Republicans campaigned on the 15-week threshold — describing it, as Mr. Trump is doing, as a reasonable middle ground. They lost control of the state’s House of Delegates. WorkDetails of $1.2 Trillion Spending Bill Emerge as Partial Shutdown Looms
 Democrats secured a long-sought deal to create 12,000 new special visas for Afghans who had worked for the United States in Afghanistan; a one-year reauthorization of PEPFAR, the U.S. government’s effort to address H.I.V. globally; and funding boosts for federal child care and education programs. WorkBig Changes Are Coming to California’s Classical Music Scene
 Dudamel, who came to L.A. in 2007 as a little-known 26-year-old conductor from Venezuela, helped elevate the Philharmonic into one of America’s top orchestras. The announcement last year that he would be moving on was “a strike at the soul” of Los Angeles, my colleagues Adam Nagourney and Javier C. Hernandez wrote. And shortly after Dudamel’s announcement, Chad Smith, the Philharmonic’s chief executive, resigned to take a post running the Boston Symphony Orchestra. WorkWorkWorkWorkWorkWorkBank of England expected to hold interest rates
 Like in the UK, interest rates around the world had been on the increase, but in recent months, other central banks - including the US Federal Reserve and the European Central Bank - have also paused their rate rises. WorkFed holds interest rates steady but signals cuts ahead
 \"The premium [to which] these guys will have to push their rates ... will put stress on the economies,\" he said. \"If now we\'re in the scenario where the US are going to keep rates higher for longer, it\'s going to be a challenge for quite a few of the emerging markets countries.\" WorkWorkWorkWorkWorkWorkWorkWorkWorkWorkWorkNations League is inhibiting USMNT's prep for 2026 World Cup
 The U.S. isn\'t completely stuck when it comes to finding top competition in the run-up to the 2026 World Cup. There are June friendlies against Colombia and Brazil. The Copa America will provide additional opportunities against tough opponents. But then it will be two years until the 2026 World Cup, and Berhalter will no doubt want to maximize his opportunities to test his side. WorkWorkOnce a Sure Thing, Newsom’s Homelessness Measure Barely Passes
 “This is the biggest change in decades in how California tackles homelessness, and a victory for doing things radically different,” Mr. Newsom said in a statement. “Proposition 1’s passage means we can begin repairing the damage caused by decades of broken promises and political neglect to those suffering from severe mental illness.” WorkUniversity of California Could Bar Political Speech on Some Web Pages
 The state’s progressive politics have generally insulated the University of California from some of the conservative attacks on colleges. But the regents’ proposal, some faculty and students worry, could represent a turnabout, at a moment when the very language used to describe the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is deeply contested. WorkWorkFamily Settles in Battle for Ancestral Land in South Carolina
 Land in the area was owned by many Black families who had settled there long before developers arrived in the 1950s and made it a tourist destination, Mel Campbell, 75, a community elder previously told the Times. Many of the Black families were descendants of West and Central Africans who were enslaved and worked on rice, indigo and cotton plantations. WorkWhat $8.5 Billion Can Buy: Biden Aims to Bolster Chip Manufacturing
 That is the reason Mr. Biden and his commerce secretary, Gina Raimondo, do not talk much about the scale of additional government investment that may be needed if the country is serious about spurring investment in everything from the most expensive semiconductor plants to the technologies carmakers will need to meet emissions mandates. WorkTrump’s Running Mate Selection Process
 And for every time the choice of a running mate appeared to provide a boost to the ticket — such as when Bill Clinton, the 1992 Democratic nominee for president, picked Senator Al Gore of Tennessee — there are cases in which it hurt more than it helped. (Senator John McCain, the Republican nominee for president in 2008, came to regret tapping Gov. Sarah Palin of Alaska, for example.) WorkWorkWorkSupreme Court Hears Case on Arrests Motivated by Politics
 Ms. Gonzalez argued that it was a free-speech issue and that she never would have been arrested had she not spoken out against the city manager. The appeals court rejected that argument, saying she could not prove that she had been treated differently from others arrested for the same crime. WorkRacing to Avoid a Shutdown, Lawmakers Weigh Skirting Their Own Rules
 “If you’re a Republican planning to vote for this omnibus spending package, you ought to insist on AT LEAST 72 hours to read it because you will own every dollar of increased spending, every disastrous Biden policy this funds,” Representative Bob Good, Republican of Virginia and the leader of the far-right Freedom Caucus, wrote on social media. WorkWorkRepublican States Eye Immigration Legislation Similar to Texas
 “In the case of anti-immigration legislation, this split-screen couldn’t be clearer,” said Abhi Rahman, a spokesman for the Democratic Legislative Campaign Committee. “Republicans are scapegoating immigrants and refusing to solve the actual problems we’re seeing at the border, then copying laws in states nowhere near the border as well.” WorkDemocrats Prepare Aggressive Counter to Third-Party Threats
 There was little third-party activity in 2020, and it’s unclear what effect the possible presence of such candidates on the ballot this year would have. But fears among Democrats are particularly acute this year, with polls suggesting that Mr. Trump’s base of support is much more fixed than Mr. Biden’s, meaning it’s possible that some of the president’s voters could be open to an alternative. WorkU.S. Debt Races Toward Record This Decade, C.B.O. Warns
 The long-term outlook can be challenging to forecast as geopolitical events and public health crises can lead to dramatic swings in spending and output. The C.B.O. report assumes that the 2017 tax cuts that are scheduled to expire in 2025 will sunset at that time, which would result in savings to the government. However, many of those tax changes are very likely to be extended and could exacerbate the federal deficit. WorkTexas Police Departments Express Confusion Over New Immigration Law
 On Wednesday morning, a panel of three judges from the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit heard more arguments from both the state and federal government about whether the law should go into effect. Many police departments said they would be paying close attention to how the panel ruled before they unveil their plans. WorkWorkAppeals Court Considers Reviving Texas Migrant Law, Now on Hold
