One Thing the Inflation Reduction Act May Not Do, Lower Inflation: With inflation raging near its highest level in four decades, the House gave final approval to President Joe Biden’s landmark Inflation Reduction Act. Its title raises a tantalizing question: Will the measure actually tame the price spikes that have inflicted hardships on American households? Economic analyses of the proposal suggest that the answer is likely no, not anytime soon, anyway.

Time for Student Debt Cancellation: With the climate bill safely signed into law, Biden can get on with this long-delayed executive action. For months, Biden has delayed making a decision. Now, an order on debt cancellation is imminent. It is likely to be capped at $10,000 per debtor, with income limits. The naysayers argue that even $10,000 is too much. They are wrong.

Idaho Supreme Court to allow near-total abortion ban to take effect Aug. 25: Two justices agreed to speed up the timeline for various legal challenges to be heard, but wanted it noted that they felt the laws should not be enforced until the legal process was over. The state Supreme Court’s ruling means potential relatives of an embryo or fetus can now sue abortion providers over procedures done after six weeks of gestation and another stricter ban criminalizing all abortions can take effect later this month. Potential relatives can sue for up to $20,000 within four years of an abortion. Rapists cannot sue under the law but a rapist’s family members would be able to sue https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://nypost.com/2022/08/13/idaho-supreme-court-allows-strict-near-total-abortion-ban/__;!!On18fmf1aQ!3hvCJXNg4x8TnAeH9omJ3Od1smEWC7xCZ6x4ZpnG1vCrONwCR9usMk55TZmXaguyN-adb_QVPQ6-jx0uQwnt9UbcHo6XWYEl$

Most of the ‘fact-checking’ organizations Facebook uses in Ukraine are directly funded by Washington either through the U.S. Embassy or via the National Endowment for Democracy (NED).
