“Anyone who's chosen to be the vice president, it is such an honor,” Sen. Tim Scott said alongside his fiancée, Mindy Noce.
About a dozen Bolivian military officers have been arrested following Wednesday's attempted coup, a senior government minister told local television on Thursday, adding they face accusations that could lead to 15 to 30-year prison terms. The hours-long failed coup saw the Andean nation's sacked military commander gather troops in La Paz's main square, ramming a door of the presidential palace with an armored vehicle that allowed soldiers to rush into the building. The former commander, Juan Jose Zuniga, had been told on Tuesday evening that he would be stripped of his position as his conduct "was not in line with the Constitution," Interior Minister Eduardo del Castillo said in an interview with TV station Unitel.
The Supreme Court ruled Thursday that emergency room doctors in Idaho can now perform emergency abortions in certain situations in Idaho, despite the state's near-total ban on abortion.
"We can serve payers very effectively from the footprint that remains," CEO Tim Wentworth says of the coming closures.
The Environmental Protection Agency will not be able to enforce a key rule limiting air pollution in nearly a dozen states while separate legal challenges proceed around the country, under a Supreme Court decision Thursday. The EPA’s “good neighbor” rule is intended to restrict smokestack emissions from power plants and other industrial sources that burden downwind areas with smog-causing pollution.
The decision is the Supreme Court’s first to focus on an individual state’s abortion ban since the fall of Roe v. Wade two years ago.
There is little Gaza's doctors can do to alleviate the pain that three-year-old Suhaib Khuzaiq still feels from a shrapnel injury that caused his leg to be amputated above the knee in December.As a result, amputations have become a key way of handling injuries that in other circumstances might have been treated differently, causing their number to soar further.
WASHINGTON (Reuters) -The U.S. Supreme Court ruled on Thursday to permit - for now - abortions to be performed in Idaho when pregnant women are facing medical emergencies, as the justices dispensed with the contentious issue without actually deciding the case on its merits. The 6-3 ruling, with three of the six conservative justices dissenting, effectively reinstated a lower court's decision that Idaho's Republican-backed near-total abortion ban must yield to a 1986 U.S. law known as the Emergency Medical Treatment and Labor Act (EMTALA) when the two statutes conflict. A version of the ruling was inadvertently posted to the court's website on Wednesday in the second instance in the past two years of the disclosure of a major abortion decision before its formal issuance.
The Wisconsin Supreme Court ruled Thursday that an order barring an anti-abortion protester from coming close to a Planned Parenthood nurse violated his First Amendment free speech rights and must be overturned. The court, controlled 4-3 by liberals, ruled unanimously in ordering that the injunction be dismissed. A Trempealeu County judge in 2020 barred Brian Aish from being near nurse Nancy Kindschy who sometimes worked in a small family planning clinic in the western Wisconsin city of Blair.
The decision reflected deep divisions on the court two years after overturning Roe v. Wade. The Court has 'simply lost the will to decide,' Alito wrote.
A coup attempt in Bolivia that saw soldiers take over La Paz's central square and ram the presidential palace with an armored truck was put down as abruptly as it started, but has laid bare a brewing economic and political crisis in the divided nation. On Wednesday, military units led by rogue General Juan Jose Zuniga launched the attack on the government, but pulled back as it quickly became clear they had little support. But while the government of leftist President Luis Arce heralded its success at putting down the coup attempt, it has uncovered the tense political fault lines in the South American country and growing anger with a flagging economy.
Massachusetts's top court on Thursday cleared the way for voters in the state to decide whether drivers for app-based companies like Uber Technologies and Lyft should be classified as independent contractors who would be entitled to some new benefits but would not be legally employees. The Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court rejected a labor-supported challenge to an industry-backed coalition's proposal to cement the drivers as contractors. The decision came ahead of closing arguments set for Friday in an ongoing trial in a lawsuit by the state's Democratic attorney general accusing Uber and Lyft of misclassifying their drivers as contractors, not employees, for years.
The Supreme Court cleared the way Thursday for Idaho hospitals to provide emergency abortions for now in a procedural ruling that left key questions unanswered and could mean the issue ends up before the conservative-majority court again soon. It reverses the court's earlier order that had allowed an Idaho abortion ban to go into effect, even in medical emergencies. It does not resolve the issues at the heart of the case, meaning the same justices who voted to overturn the constitutional right to abortion could soon be again considering when doctors can provide abortion in medical emergencies.
After deliberating more than six months, the justices in a 5-4 vote blocked an agreement hammered out with state and local governments and victims.

Over the next week, voters go to the polls in fledgling democracies like Mauritania and Mongolia, the Islamic Republic of Iran and in stalwart democracies — former imperial powers — Britain and France. While U.S. President Joe Biden and his predecessor Donald Trump were set Thursday to hold the first of two TV debates before their expected November standoff, other countries are facing hard choices. The votes could reorient the world at a time of war in Europe, the Middle East and Africa; mutual suspicion among some big powers; and growing public anxiety over things like jobs, climate change, taxes, inflation and the rise of AI.
