CBS News poll: Americans react to overturning of Roe v. Wade — most disapprove, call it step backward
The American public is rendering its initial judgment on the overturning of Roe v. Wade, and most disapprove of the ruling, including two-thirds of women who disapprove. By more than a 20-point margin, Americans call it a step backward rather than forward for America. And women, by more than three to one, think the ruling will make women's lives worse rather than better. Those who approve — and in particular, the three-fourths of conservatives who do — say they feel both hopeful and happy. As they look ahead, those disapproving of Friday's ruling are especially likely to think the high court might someday limit or end birth control and also same-sex marriage. Views on Roe being overturned divide along partisan lines, though perhaps not as completely as political debate or legislative battles might suggest. One in six Democrats approves, and one in five Republicans disapproves. Across demographic groups, younger people are especially likely to disapprove; most moderates … [Read more...] about CBS News poll: Americans react to overturning of Roe v.

Senate fails to advance bill protecting abortion rights ahead of Supreme Court decision
The Senate on Wednesday failed to advance a bill bolstering abortion rights nationwide, with all Republicans and one Democrat tanking the Democratic-led effort to protect abortion access on the federal level after a draft Supreme Court opinion indicated the high court may overturn Roe v. Wade. The procedural vote failed, as expected, by a vote of 49 to 51, with Democratic Sen. Joe Manchin of West Virginia joining all 50 Republicans in opposing the effort to move the bill, called the Women's Health Protection Act, forward. Vice President Kamala Harris presided over the vote. Democratic leaders pressed ahead with the test vote even as it was evident they would fall short of the 60-vote threshold needed to overcome a filibuster. With an eye toward November's midterm elections, Schumer argued the need to bolster abortion rights at the federal level is too urgent to ignore. "This is not a theoretical exercise, oh no. Protecting the right to choose at this critical moment is one of … [Read more...] about Senate fails to advance bill protecting abortion rights ahead of Supreme Court decision

Bitcoin Is the Most Obvious Bubble of the Modern Era
To call Bitcoin the biggest and most obvious bubble in modern history may be a disservice to its surreality. The price of bitcoin has doubled four times this year. In early January, one bitcoin was worth about $1,000. By May, it hit $2,000. In June, it breached $4,000. By Thanksgiving, it was $8,000. Two weeks later, it was $16,000. This astronomical trajectory might make sense for a new public company with accelerating profits. Bitcoin, however, has no profits. It’s not even a company. It is a digital encrypted currency running on a decentralized network of computers around the world. Ordinary currencies, like the U.S. dollar, don’t double in value by the month, unless there’s a historic deflationary crisis, like the Panic of 1837. Instead, bitcoin’s behavior more resembles that of a collectible frenzy, like Beanie Babies in the late 1990s. But defining and identifying bubbles is harder than it seems (kind of like defining bitcoin ). The term technically refers to an asset … [Read more...] about Bitcoin Is the Most Obvious Bubble of the Modern Era
