| by Dan Hart |
| In the wake of controversy that erupted earlier this week over the Harris campaign's uncertain support for the child tax credit (CTC), Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) announced Monday that he will force a vote before Congress's August recess on a piece of legislation he touted as an "expansion" of the CTC.

| Two Social Media Bills that Protect Minors Pass Overwhelmingly in the Senate |
| by Sarah Holliday |
| The cries for safer online platforms have increased greatly over the years. As evidence emerges that social media is not merely dangerous but actually a breeding ground for cyberbullying, sexual predators, and exposure to pornography, the same message echoes out in the public square: "[W]e better do something." And with the Senate's decision on Tuesday to pass "a pair of bills to expand online privacy and safety protections for children," it seems that plea did not return void. |
