Bob Menendez to resign Senate seat after federal bribery conviction
A storied career in New Jersey politics comes to an end as Menendez bows to calls to leave the Senate after his conviction on federal bribery and corruption charges.

Sen. Bob Menendez (D-N.J.) announced he plans to resign effective Aug. 20, after months of Democratic hand-wringing over his scandalous federal trial and recent conviction.
“While I fully intend to appeal the jury’s verdict, all the way and including to the Supreme Court, I do not want the Senate to be involved in a lengthy process that will detract from its important work,” Menendez wrote in a letter announcing his resignation to New Jersey’s governor and Senate officials.
The longtime Democratic lawmaker was convicted July 16 of taking bribes from three business executives who showered him and his wife with cash, gold bars and a Mercedes-Benz, an extravagant bounty for his help securing deals with foreign officials and trying to derail several criminal investigations in New Jersey. Menendez’s Democratic colleagues in the Senate have implored him to resign in recent days, and his decision to do so allows Democratic New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy to appoint a temporary replacement to serve until January.

🧵The next 106 days should be, at least in part, a victory lap for Joe Biden.
It's a chance for Biden and his surrogates to criss-cross the country celebrating Biden's unprecedented achievements in terms of job growth, infrastructure investments, and historic action on climate.
It's a chance to highlight the distance between Charlottesville and today. Between the horror of 2020 and today. Between January 6th and today. Between Trump and today. (2/x)
It's a chance for Biden to promote the strengths of his history-making successor Kamala Harris and her own sure-to-be-history-making VP nominee. (3/x)
It's a chance to showcase a Democratic vision for the future that contrasts clearly with the unpopular, extremist vision of the criminal Trump, his extremist running mate, and his fascistic minions in blue suits and red ties. (4/x)
It's a chance to truly make voters understand the decades-long danger to America that would unfold if Trump were allowed to replace two or more of the aging, corrupt extremists on the Supreme Court with younger, more extreme models. (5/x)
It's also a chance to talk about the toll the Presidency takes on a man heading into his 80s. Biden can now poke fun at the increasing debilitation Trump is displaying on the campaign trail—& how easily this corrupt criminal will be manipulated by the evildoers around him. (6/x)
Finally, it's a chance to compare Biden to Carter in the ways they represent what Christianity in America should actually look like... (7/x)

Nikki Haley Voters PAC Announces Support for Kamala Harris

Joe Biden Drops Out Of 2024 Presidential Election
By Mandy Taheri
Weekend Reporter
A coalition of former Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley voters pledged their support for Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris' presidential bid on Sunday, hours after President Joe Biden announced that he was dropping out of the race.
Biden announced on Sunday afternoon in a letter that he will not be seeking a second term in this year's presidential election and threw his support behind Harris. The president's decision follows weeks of mounting pressure from people within his own party and from key Democratic donors urging him to step aside for the sake of the party's future after a disastrous debate performance last month against former President Donald Trump.
The political action committee (PAC), previously known as Haley Voters for Biden, which now features Harris' name, seeks to amplify the voices of former Haley voters in support of Harris' White House bid.
Craig Snyder, the group's director, told Newsweek in an email on Sunday afternoon that the organization believes Harris "is best suited to defeat Donald Trump in November."
"A tough former prosecutor, the Vice President comes from the centrist wing of the Democratic Party, not it's left most fringe...For Haley voters, all of this puts the Vice President in a sweet spot for them to register their ongoing opposition to [former] President Trump," he said.
Haley, the former South Carolina governor and United Nations (U.N.) ambassador running for the GOP ticket, ended her campaign in March following losses on Super Tuesday in competition with Trump who is the Republican Party's presidential nominee. Overall, Haley, who served in Trump's administration, won more than 2 million votes nationally on Super Tuesday. She also polled well among moderates and college-educated voters that don't support Trump's Make America Great Again (MAGA) agenda.
Last week, Haley spoke at the Republican National Convention (RNC) where she criticized the Biden administration and specifically called out Harris, saying, "Kamala had one job...one job...and that was to fix the border. Now imagine her in charge of the entire country."
Haley, meanwhile, has endorsed Trump's candidacy.

Snyder told Newsweek that Haley's "disparaging comments" were "motivated by political rather than substantive concerns, and we are certain that those comments will not be a decisive factor in the ultimate voting decision of the Haley voters whose extraordinary act in the primaries of protest against Donald Trump as the leader of the Republican Party means they are going to give the Democratic nominee at the very least serious consideration in November."
Haley has not released a statement on Biden stepping down or his endorsement of Harris as of late Sunday afternoon.
Newsweek has reached out to Haley for comment via her former presidential campaign email on Sunday.
The PAC quickly shared Biden's endorsement of Harris on X, formerly Twitter, and wrote: "We support @JoeBiden's recommendation and will immediately change the name of our organization to Haley Voters for Harris. There is no time to lose."
The organization has already changed its name on its social media accounts, but its website still reflects Biden's name.
Democrats will have to choose a new nominee by August 7 or face being kept off the ballot in Ohio. The nominee will then accept the party's nomination at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago, which takes from August 19 to 22.
In its X post, the Haley Voters for Harris PAC advised the vice president to "select a moderate VP" and suggested three governors: Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro, Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear and North Carolina Governor Roy Cooper. It is not known who will run alongside Harris.
All three governors posted statements applauding Biden's legacy and their gratitude towards him shortly after his announcement. Beshear wrote on X that "while his decision today could not have been easy, it is in the best interest of our country, and our party."
In another social media post, the PAC expressed support for Harris and wrote "We welcome @KamalaHarris taking the torch that @JoeBiden passed to her."
Preventable deaths and high cancer rates: women’s health in ‘perilous’ place
https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/article/2024/jul/20/women-health-abortion-bans-cancer-risk
Report finds ‘clear distinctions’ in US women’s health outcomes, which can be linked to states’ abortion laws
Jessica Glenza
Sat 20 Jul 2024 07.00 EDT
Last modified on Sat 20 Jul 2024 07.28 EDT
Women’s health is in a “perilous” place with deep and growing inequalities across regions of the US, a new report from the Commonwealth Fund has found. The report ranks states based on 32 indicators, ranging from insurance coverage to breast and cervical cancer to Covid-19.
Massachusetts, Rhode Island and Vermont ranked at the top across a range of health issues. South-eastern states – most of which now have near-total abortion bans – ranked at the bottom on a wide range of women’s health indicators.
“Where you live matters to your health and healthcare,” said Dr Joseph Betancourt, president of the Commonwealth Fund. “This is having a disproportionate effect on women of color and women with low incomes.”
The goal of the report was to contribute to policies, “guaranteeing all women across the US can have access to quality affordable care – no matter where they live”.
The report largely relies on public data from 2022, a pivotal year in women’s health, when the supreme court overturned Roe v Wade. For nearly 50 years, Roe v Wade provided a federal right to terminate a pregnancy. When the decision was overturned, regulation of abortion reverted to the states. Fourteen quickly issued near-total abortion bans, including many across the south-east.
Where you live matters to your health and healthcare
Dr Joseph Betancourt, Commonwealth Fund president
A map of the worst-performing states in the nation looks like a belt across the American south, stretching from Nevada to Florida and north to Tennessee. Notably, Nevada does not have an abortion ban, but tends to have worse health metrics because of a large, first-generation immigrant population.
“There are clear distinctions between states and delivery systems that perform well for women,” said Sara Collins, a vice-president at Commonwealth and senior scholar studying healthcare access and quality.
States that tended to perform worst had not expanded Medicaid, a public health insurance for low-income Americans. They also tended to have fewer healthcare providers overall, particularly OB-GYNs. Those regional differences are likely to be exacerbated by abortion bans, which make it legally perilous for doctors to practice.
Deaths from all causes were highest in south-eastern states – including from preventable causes such as substance use, Covid-19, pregnancy-related deaths and chronic treatable conditions.
Poor performing states also tended to miss opportunities to identify and treat at-risk women. They screened fewer women for postpartum depression, had higher rates of syphilis and congenital syphilis (when the disease is passed to a baby) and higher rates of cancer. They had higher rates of cesarean births for low-risk pregnancies and the worst maternal mortality rates, with particularly stark disparities between Black and white women.
Also notable is how these trends have become more pronounced in the last four decades. In other reports, researchers have found health disparities shrank between the 1960s and 1980s. Now, worse health outcomes in the south form what some researchers call the “multiples” belt, where a laundry list of health outcomes are worse – from cancer to diabetes to HIV infection rates.
Still, the prospects of state legislatures or Congress finding common ground to improve women’s health look dim. Many of the issues most impactful to women’s health are also the most politically contentious.
For instance, Republicans have actively sought abortion bans for decades and opposed the expansion of Medicaid since the Obama administration. Republicans have also undermined public health authorities, the sort of workers who are key to disrupting transmission of diseases such as syphilis.
Some researchers, such as the health equity expert Daniel Dawes, have described these outcomes as the “political determinants of health” – in other words, the ways policy shapes the health and wellbeing of the population.
“When you think of the structural conditions that many folks find themselves in, there is an underlying policy – political action or inaction – that has determined those conditions and structured the resources that has enabled those conditions to exist,” said Dawes, founding dean of the School of Global Health at Meharry Medical College in Nashville, Tennessee.
Without addressing those politics, Dawes said, “you’re only going to continue nibbling around the edges of the problem.”
I went through all of Trump Agenda 47 and put all of the announced policies into one searchable document so anyone can compare Project 2025 w/ Agenda 47.
