Kamala Harris to blame Trump for abortion bans during Arizona visit
CBSN
Vice President Kamala Harris is traveling to Tucson Friday to cast former President Donald Trump as the architect of the restrictive abortion bans emerging nationwide in the aftermath of the U.S. Supreme Court's decision striking down the federal right to an abortion.
Harris is making her second trip to the battleground state of Arizona this year, days after the state Supreme Court upheld an 1864 law that bans nearly all abortions.
"Donald Trump is the architect of this health care crisis," Harris is expected to say, according to an excerpt of her prepared remarks. "And that's not a fact he hides. In fact, he brags about it." And a second Trump term "would be even worse," Harris will warn.
President Biden on Monday signed into law a defense bill that authorizes significant pay raises for junior enlisted service members, aims to counter China's growing power and boosts overall military spending to $895 billion despite his objections to language stripping coverage of transgender medical treatments for children in military families.
It's Christmas Eve, and Santa Claus is suiting up for his annual voyage from the North Pole to households around the world. In keeping with decades of tradition, the North American Aerospace Command, or NORAD, will once again track Santa's journey to deliver gifts to children before Christmas 2024, using an official map that's updated consistently to show where he is right now.
An anti-money laundering law called the Corporate Transparency Act, or CTA, appears to have been given new life after an appeals court on Monday determined its rules can be enforced as the case proceeds. The law requires small business owners to register with the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network, or FinCEN, by Jan. 1, or potentially pay fines of up to $10,000.
