Some Nevada Republicans say the story demonstrates Brown’s deeper understanding of the complexities of reproductive healthcare in a state where voters guaranteed the right to abortion through a referendum. They also hope it illuminates a gray area that many Republican women feel extends beyond “yes” or “no” answers on abortion rights. She said Nevada Republicans have no desire to overturn the state’s existing protections, unlike in Republican-led states like Texas and South Carolina. She also hopes the Browns’ announcement helps move abortion access, largely a winning issue for Democrats, “off the table” in the Senate race. When left to the states, women in Texas facing the same circumstances today would not have the options his wife had in the state in 2008.

Hunter Biden, son of U.S. President Joe Biden, departs federal court after a plea hearing on two misdemeanor charges of willfully failing to pay income taxes in Wilmington, Delaware, July 26, 2023. The criminal probe of Hunter that led to the pending case in Delaware federal court began in late 2018, during the Trump administration. Weiss soon afterward was appointed special counsel in the case by Attorney General Merrick Garland. The prosecutor has been criticized by Trump and his allies for the initial plea deal and for not charging Hunter with more serious crimes. Hunter's lawyers, in turn, argue that the current gun charges are barred by the diversion agreement.

The new indictment against Donald Trump describes how he tried to stay in power after losing the 2020 election. But Jeffrey Clark, an alleged co-conspirator in the new indictment against Trump and a top Justice Department lawyer at the time, had a different answer: Call in the troops. On the same day that Clark suggested using the Insurrection Act, according to the indictment, Clark had also maneuvered to try to make himself Acting Attorney General. His aides drafted a proclamation to use the law, according to The New York Times, but Trump never followed through. Even as Trump considered putting Clark in charge of the Justice Department, he knew he truly lost the election, according to the indictment.
