Redistricting: Native American communities fight for an equal voice: The Columbia and Okanogan Rivers to the east, south and west of the Colville Indian Reservation form natural borders on a map of north-central Washington. Invisible borders stymie the reservation’s political power, some tribe members say. The Colville Reservation typically has been broken into multiple state legislative and congressional districts, making it difficult for Native candidates to garner the support of their entire communities https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://www.invw.org/2022/03/16/redistricting-tribes-fight-for-an-equal-voice/__;!!On18fmf1aQ!jkkiGqY6PZAtZJjoWrtntdwK1HrUB1xj4GLfeyeEysxOZEnBmnaR6KKx88mYsGHVo5pE$

Russian allegations of US-funded biolabs in Ukraine gain traction with American conspiracy theorists including QAnon adherents. Despite rebuttals from independent scientists, Ukrainian leaders, and officials at the White House and Pentagon, the online popularity of the claims suggests some Americans are willing to trust Kremlin propaganda over the US media and government.

COVID-19 Pandemic Origins: Bioweapons and the History of Laboratory Leaks. Future pandemics will continue to be a threat, so it is important to lay bare the true cause of this devastation. From the beginning, the origins of the pandemic have been debated, even though a natural zoonotic transfer to humans has been determined as the likely cause; however, speculation around a viral bioweapon and laboratory leaks remains.

# Education / Schools
Ten Steps to Equity in Education: Education plays a key role in determining how you spend your adult life, a higher level of education means higher earnings, better health, and a longer life. By the same token, the long-term social and financial costs of educational failure are high. Those without the skills to participate socially and economically generate higher costs for health, income support, child welfare and social security systems.

An inspiring story about how presumptuous Senate staffers can accidentally make history. Reporters and politicos were caught off guard Tuesday afternoon when the Sunshine Protection Act sailed through the Senate without issue, with no senators speaking up to object to it passing by unanimous consent. Sen. Kyrsten Sinema, serving as Senate chair overseeing the motion at the time, broke composure, burst into a grin, and whispered, “Yes!”

Another Article V Controversy: There has recently been some attention placed on the Equal Rights Amendment. There is another important Article V issue that may result in a Supreme Court case later in 2022. While the ERA debate relates to state ratification of a congressionally proposed amendment, Article V of the Constitution also provides an alternative means to propose an amendment. Specifically, on the application of legislatures of two-thirds of the several states (34 of 50 states), Congress shall call a convention for proposing amendments. This is a mandatory, non-discretionary and ministerial duty of the Congress.
