The Supreme Court has made several recent decisions, including allowing ICE agents to consider race when making immigration stops and permitting Trump to constrain passport sex designations. Additionally, millions of kids qualify for Medicaid, and Biden's administration is funding outreach to boost enrollment. The federal government shutdown had significant effects, including millions likely losing food aid, and concerns are mounting over various issues such as modern-day slavery in the Congo and environmental impacts of EV batteries.
