WorkTennessee Parents Question Whether Arming Teachers Is the Answer
  Even in a state as conservative as Tennessee, the reaction to the bill has included unease and disappointment. The skepticism has come not just from those who want tighter restrictions on firearms but also from some who generally believe strongly in gun rights. Their reluctance was rooted in doubts about the wisdom of placing such a daunting responsibility on teachers and other school workers. Work?To the Future?: Saudi Arabia Spends Big to Become an A.I.

WorkWorkThe Supreme Court's likely to make it more dangerous to be pregnant in a red state
 A federal law requires most US hospitals to provide an abortion to patients experiencing a medical emergency if an abortion is the proper medical treatment for that emergency. This law is unambiguous, and it applies even in red states with strict abortion bans that prohibit the procedure even when necessary to save a patient’s life or protect their health.

 That will depend on what Sánchez decides over the next few days. His allies are calling on him to remain in office. If he chooses to do so, he could submit himself to a confidence vote to shore up his leadership.

WorkWorkBiden, Seeking to Build on Fruitful Week, Will Announce Billions in Chip Grants
 Ramping up domestic chip production is a major goal for Mr. Biden, whose economic policy agenda largely focuses on strengthening American manufacturing and bringing back jobs that have shifted overseas in recent decades. Although semiconductors were invented in America, only about 10 percent of the world’s semiconductors are currently made in the United States, with the bulk manufactured in Asia. WorkSupreme Court to Hear Trump?s Claim to ?Absolute Immunity?
 The case before the court involves just one of four sets of pending criminal charges against Mr. Trump, including those at issue in a trial underway in state court in Manhattan over accusations of hush-money payments meant to skew the 2016 election.

 The Enquirer’s extreme brand of checkbook journalism came into full view in 2018 when its parent company, American Media Inc., struck a deal with Manhattan prosecutors to cooperate with an investigation into the hush-money payments in exchange for immunity in the case. The company admitted to making the payments and said it had known they violated campaign finance laws. (It paid a $187,000 fine to the Federal Election Commission for those violations.) WorkN.F.L. Draft Is Like Super Bowl for City of Detroit
 “We have a chance to reintroduce ourselves to America,” Detroit’s mayor, Mike Duggan, said in an interview. “The last time this country paid any attention to us was 10 years ago when we were in bankruptcy.

Until It Was Overwhelmed.
 But the American experience in Ukraine has underscored how difficult it is to get 21st-century data into 19th-century trenches. Even with Congress on the brink of providing tens of billions of dollars in aid to Kyiv, mostly in the form of ammunition and long-range artillery, the question remains whether the new technology will be enough to help turn the tide of the war at a moment when the Russians appear to have regained momentum. WorkFive Things to Know About Biden?s New Power Plant Rules
 But the aging nature of the country’s existing coal plants means that many of the facilities could shut down before they would have to meet the most stringent limits. More than 200 coal plants closed in the past decade, putting the average age of surviving plants at almost 50. The life span of an American coal plant is about 60 years, and roughly one quarter of the existing 200 plants are already slated to retire within the next five years, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration.

 Once the heart of a powerful maritime republic, Venice’s main island has lost more than 120,000 residents since the early 1950s, driven away by a number of issues but predominantly a focus on mass tourism that has caused the population to be dwarfed by the thousands of visitors who crowd its squares, bridges and narrow walkways at the busiest times of the year. WorkWorkWork'Outrageous' climate activists get in the faces of politicians and oil bosses - will it work'
 The climate crisis won't wait to find out.

That includes the headquarters of the Ukrainian eastern command in Kramatorsk. WorkWorkWorkOpinion | How Biden Could Turn a Supreme Court Loss on Abortion Into a Win
 This move was a gamble, and not one the administration takes very often: Sooner or later, the case was likely to land the administration before the Supreme Court’s conservative supermajority, with its demonstrated hostility to abortion rights. And indeed, if the court sides with Idaho, that will serve as a powerful reminder that until the Supreme Court’s composition changes, being in federal court may blow up in any pro-choice president’s face.
