Bipartisan legislation to honor the late Shirley Chisholm, the nation’s first Black congresswoman, became law last week, as the 118th Congress winds down with a final flurry of bills. President Joe Biden signed the Shirley Chisholm Congressional Gold Medal Act on Thursday, posthumously honoring Chisholm, who died in 2005, with Congress’s highest award for her distinguished service and achievements. Vice President Kamala Harris signs the Shirley Chisholm Congressional Gold Medal Act, which grants the late congresswoman the highest civilian award Congress can bestow. Vice President Kamala Harris“I see no one more deserving than Shirley Chisholm,” Lee added. “I can’t help but think that Shirley Chisholm is looking down at all of us and saying how proud she is that we have gotten here,” Rep. Sheila Cherfilus McCormick, D-Fla., told colleagues that evening.

That is how some convicted felons say society looks at them, no matter the crime. There is a stigma that sticks to convicted felons even years after the crime, says Bruce Western, professor of Sociology and Social Justice and director of the Justice Lab at Columbia University. “It doesn’t hurt that he (Trump) is an older White man who is extremely wealthy.”Restrictions on convicted felons vary from state to state. But while convicted felons can eventually find jobs, “it’s really at the bottom of the labor market,” he said. Nearly 10 years after that felony conviction, Jeremiah is still dealing with the effects of being labeled a felon.

Some schools are specifically advising students to arrive before President-elect Donald Trump’s inauguration on Jan. 20. The University of Southern California, Cornell University, Harvard University and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology are among the schools that have advised concerned students to return to campus early. Though it’s unclear whether Trump will reinstate the ban, students have expressed concern over past controversial statements he’s made about deporting protesters on college campuses. For Chinese students especially, this post-Covid fear coincides with a dip in their enrollment numbers at U.S. schools. “Given the tensions with China and the large number of students from China, there is this uncertainty,” Khanna said.

In October, the Biden administration again helped to intercept a barrage of around 200 Iranian ballistic missiles, which also caused minimal damage to targets in Israel. Bringing US troops homeIn 2020, the Trump administration signed a US withdrawal agreement from Afghanistan with the Taliban. But after McMaster was pushed out of office in 2018, the Trump administration negotiated with the Taliban the withdrawal agreement of all US forces from Afghanistan. Nonetheless, the incoming Trump administration seems intent on resurrecting Schedule F, an executive order issued in the last months of the first Trump term.

In these conversations with patients who are wary of religion, Callahan slips in another detail: He’s an atheist himself. Callahan is one of a growing number of openly atheist chaplains working in institutions around the country. Though the term “atheist chaplain” might sound like an oxymoron, he doesn’t see a contradiction between his beliefs and the work of tending to the human spirit. Other atheist chaplains don’t shy away from religion at all, instead helping people explore faith and spirituality in nontraditional ways. There may be few atheist and nonreligious chaplains right now, but as Callahan sees it, their numbers only stand to grow.

For many families, child care is often the biggest. Thanks to a state program launched during the recovery from the pandemic, they pay nothing for child care.

The permanent fund now funnels more than $150 million from fossil fuel producers into child care subsidies, state officials estimate.

They worry that the expanded tax credit would reduce incentives to find a job, hurting the economy. The child tax credit “is a costly transfer program for taxpayers with kids who do not need government handouts,” the Cato Institute, a libertarian think tank, has said. In 2022, after one year, Congress allowed the expanded child tax credit to expire. While it was in effect, the expanded child tax credit reduced child poverty in the U.S. by nearly half, studies have found. JD Vance, Donald Trump’s running mate, has said he favors expanding the child tax credit as well, though he is vague on details.

Similarly, news about South Korea’s adoption system has shaken many Korean adoptees. Korean adoption agencies charged anywhere between $4,000 and $6,000 per child, according to an Associated Press investigation.
