Gloria Steinem built our America. From decades on the front lines for reproductive freedom, equal pay, and the simple idea that a woman's voice belongs everywhere power is held, her work changed what was possible for generations of women, including mine. Thank you Gloria. Rest in peace.

1) E-bikes are a fun and eco-friendly way to get around, but higher-speed riders aren’t always following the rules—and that can put everyone at risk. Since 2023, there have been nearly twice as many e-bike fatalities as regular bike fatalities, even with fewer overall injuries.

Hollywood’s talent is unmatched. It was an honor to celebrate the artists who bring our stories to life at the SAG Awards. But admiration isn’t enough. We must protect performers’ name, image, and likeness from AI misuse and deepfakes. I urge Congress to pass the No FAKES Act.
