WorkWorkFlorida and Arizona show why abortion attacks are not slowing down
 While both states already had curtailed abortion after the overturn of Roe v. Wade, now Florida’s Supreme Court ruling will trigger a six-week ban (before many people know they’re pregnant) beginning on May 1. And Arizona’s Supreme Court revived a near-total ban that will take effect in two weeks and carries with it a minimum two-year prison sentence for doctors who perform abortions that are not essential for saving their patient’s life.
WorkStartup CEO Salaries Dip in 2024 - Inc.com (No paywall)
 On average, startup CEOs make $141,000 in 2024, down approximately $1,000 from last year, according to a new report from the accounting firm Kruze Consulting that analyzed more than 450 U.S. startups. It adds that this salary slide signals "a cautious approach amidst a challenging funding landscape." WorkTrump’s Co-Defendants in Documents Case Seek to Dismiss Charges
 But at the same time, they are central to the case because they both play leading roles in the allegations that Mr. Trump willfully conspired to obstruct the investigation. Those accusations have not only deepened Mr. Trump’s own criminal liability, but have also served to set his case apart from other inquiries into classified materials involving public officials like President Biden and former Vice President Mike Pence.

WorkLiberal Justice to Retire From Wisconsin Supreme Court, Leaving Control Uncertain
 That campaign became a battle over abortion rights and over legislative maps that were gerrymandered to favor Republicans, who have dominated state politics over the last decade. Before the election, Justice Protasiewicz said that she believed abortion should be “a woman’s right to choose,” and declared the state’s maps to be “rigged.” The race was the most expensive judicial election in American history. WorkThe Life of O.J. Simpson: A Timeline
 Mr. Simpson, who was born in San Francisco in 1947, first came to the attention of many Americans as a football star at the University of Southern California. In his two years playing for the Trojans, he was the game’s best running back, and tallied 33 touchdowns.

WorkMexico calls on UN to expel Ecuador over embassy raid as tensions soar
 But the OAS secretary general, Luis Almagro, noted that “the use of force, the illegal incursion into a diplomatic mission, nor the detention of an asylee are the peaceful way toward resolution of this situation”. He said Ecuador’s actions could not be allowed to set a precedent. WorkWorkWorkTrump and Mike Johnson push for redundant ban on non-citizens voting
 Widespread voter fraud, in general, does not exist in the US. There are instances of voter fraud prosecuted across the US every election, but even statewide taskforces have been unable to uncover large numbers of cases, and certainly nothing close to the scale that could swing elections. WorkFord to send 144,000 trucks to North American dealers
 In the case of the redesigned F-150s, Ford engineers analyzing data from trucks held in stock discovered that certain electronic components did not shut off, or were using more power than expected, Ford said. \"Engineers updated the problematic software before any trucks left the plant,\" the company said in a statement. WorkCostco is selling lots of gold; should you be buying? How this gold rush impacts the market
 “If you look at gold’s performance historically, it’s the kind of asset that should perform well through uncertainty, as it has done in five out of the last seven recessions,” said Joseph Cavatoni, chief market strategist for North America at the World Gold Council. “For people looking for a store of value and a portfolio diversifier, gold has a strong track record of delivering those qualities.” WorkWorkHarvard and Caltech Will Require Test Scores for Admission
 In explaining its decision to accelerate the return to testing, Harvard cited a study by Opportunity Insights, which found that test scores were a better predictor of academic success in college than high school grades and that they can help admissions officers identify highly talented students from low income groups who might otherwise had gone unnoticed. WorkGeorgia’s Lieutenant Governor to Face Inquiry for Role as Fake Trump Elector
 Ms. Willis, a Democrat, chose to reach cooperation deals with most of the fake Georgia electors, but she did charge three who had prominent political roles in the state, including David Shafer, the former head of the state Republican Party. At the time of the 2020 election, Mr. Jones was a state senator. WorkTracing Charleston’s History of Slavery, From a Burial Ground to a DNA Swab
 Even if he wasn’t related to any of them, Mr. Lee figured, maybe a DNA test could still provide other answers that had eluded him. He could trace his ancestry to a great-great-grandmother on one side, but no further. So last spring, he sat still as a researcher gently swabbed the inside of his cheek. WorkIn Los Angeles, the O.J. Simpson Case Defined a Turbulent Era
 Mr. Simpson, at the time, was seen as someone who had transcended the tense and deadly relationship other Black Angelenos had with law enforcement. Soaring above his impoverished beginnings, he had carved out an international show business career and lived in the affluent enclave of Brentwood. WorkKari Lake Backs G.O.P. Effort to Drop 1864 Abortion Law in Favor of 15-Week Ban
 The Republican backtracking reflects just how sharply public opinion has shifted on abortion since the Supreme Court’s consequential ruling, and how damaging the issue has been to their party. State laws on abortion enacted since Roe was overturned fueled strong showings by Democratic candidates in the 2022 midterms, and voters have turned out in force to protect abortion rights when they have been on the ballot, even in red states. WorkTrump, Who Tried to Repeal Obamacare, Says He Is ‘Not Running to Terminate’ It
 More than 45 million people are enrolled in Affordable Care Act-related coverage, according to a recent report from the Department of Health and Human Services. A record number of people — more than 20 million — have signed up for plans on the act’s marketplaces this year, according to the Biden administration. Mr. Biden proclaimed that the figure proved that the legislation “is more popular than ever.” WorkWorkKennedy Campaign Fires Consultant Who Sought to Help Trump Win
 Mr. Kennedy has also recently aligned himself closer to Mr. Trump by sympathizing with those who have been convicted of crimes in connection to the Jan. 6, 2021, attack at the Capitol. Mr. Kennedy later retracted many of those comments, saying that his campaign made “unforced errors” when addressing the issue, but stood by his commitment to appoint a special counsel to “look at” the criminal cases of some of the rioters. WorkWorkTrump to Meet an Embattled Johnson, Putting Their Tortured Ties on Display
 It will afford Mr. Johnson the opportunity to stand shoulder to shoulder with Mr. Trump at a precarious moment in his speakership, as he works to corral a minuscule and deeply divided majority around a legislative agenda many of them oppose — all while facing the threat of an ouster from Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene, a far-right Georgia Republican and ride-or-die Trump ally. Making matters even trickier, Mr. Trump, the former president and presumptive Republican presidential nominee, is helping to undermine that agenda. WorkWorkWorkWorkWorkFinally, a Case Goes to Trial
 Prosecutors could call Daniels and a former Playboy model, Karen McDougal, who said she had an affair with Trump, as well as Michael Cohen, Trump’s former fixer, who made the payment to Daniels just before the 2016 election. WorkWorkHow Voters Describe the 2024 Election in One Word
