Trump Administration’s Attack On Women’s Health And Equality Escalates

In early May, President Donald J. Trump fulfilled a campaign promise by signing an executive order that was aimed at allowing bosses and universities to use religion as an excuse to deny their employees and students insurance coverage for contraception. Within hours, Health and Human Services Secretary Tom Price promised to take action “in short order” to carry out Trump’s directive.

Republican lawmaker hedges—three times—when asked 'Is every American entitled to eat?'

Donald Trump and congressional Republicans are on pretty much the same page when it comes to nutrition assistance programs: cut cut cut. After years of House Republicans pushing big cuts to food stamps, Trump’s budget proposes $193 billion in cuts over 10 years. Whether they want to take food out of the mouths of more than 40 million struggling Americans, many of them children, is the kind of thing Republicans should expect to get some questions about, but Nebraska Republican Rep. Adrian Smith seems to have been surprised when NPR’s Scott Simon went to the heart of the issue....

How to Protect Your Privacy as More Apps Harvest Your Data

In the real world, your personal life is a private space. But in tech, your personal data is a ripe resource for businesses to harvest in their own interests.

That was the broad takeaway from last week’s New York Times profile on Uber, the car-summoning service, and its chief executive, Travis Kalanick. Among other revelations, the report illuminated that to stay competitive, Uber bought information about its main American ride-hailing competitor, Lyft, from Unroll.me, a free email digest service....

10 percent of Americans trading in a car plan to use Uber and Lyft instead of buying a new one

Wally Nowinski got his first car when he turned 16 in Michigan, the home of the U.S. auto industry. But after two years of living in New York City, he sold his wheels, using ride services, carsharing and bike sharing to get around. "My mom didn't think I could do it. She thought I would buy a new car in six months," he said.

But that was more than a year ago, and his car budget of $820 per month fell to $250 for carsharing and ride services last year....

Vermont’s D.I.Y. Approach on Marijuana

Vermont is on the verge of becoming the ninth state to legalize the recreational use of marijuana, but, being Vermont, it is taking an earthier, grow-it-yourself approach — one that could become a model for others.

 Vermont is not asking voters to approve a ballot proposal and it is not allowing for-profit businesses to grow and sell the drug, at least not right away. Instead, its lawmakers passed a bill this month that would let people 21 and older keep two flowering and four young marijuana plants at home. In addition, people 21 and older could possess up to one ounce of the drug. The bill would also create an independent commission to propose legislation that could later be used to create a regulated market for marijuana with commercial growers and retailers....

The Patient Resilience of Iran’s Reformers

While President Trump basked in the flattery of Saudi Arabia’s absolute monarchy on Friday, about 75 percent of Iranian voters turned out to repudiate an authoritarian populist and re-elect their moderate president, Hassan Rouhani. Mr. Rouhani ran against extremism and on the promise of human rights, civil liberties, rational economic management and engagement with the world — a platform that won him 57 percent of the vote to his opponent’s 38.5 percent.

It wasn’t the first time Iranian voters expressed their preference for these values. They have done so repeatedly, overcoming every obstacle a repressive state can thrust in their way....
