Deep dives
Bipartisan Border Bill Faces Opposition from Republicans
Republicans argue that the border bill incentivizes illegal immigration by providing parole and work permits. They believe President Biden already has the tools to slow down illegal immigration and want to see the reenactment of previous border policies.
Pro-life Protesters Convicted with Face Act Violations
Six pro-life protesters have been convicted and face up to 11 years in prison and hefty fines for face act violations. The defense argued they were peacefully protesting, while the government claimed they violated federal law. The Biden administration's enforcement of the face act has faced criticism for apparently targeting pro-life demonstrators.
Elon Musk's Neuralink Implants Chip in Human Brain
Elon Musk's Neuralink company has successfully implanted a chip into a human brain for the first time. The chip, when fully developed, aims to help paraplegics regain functionality and restore eyesight. However, concerns about the ethical implications of neural technology have been raised, including the potential for using brain-computer interface in future warfare.
The Senate moves ahead with bipartisan border legislation despite the house saying it’s dead on arrival, protestors face 11 years in prison after demonstrations outside an abortion clinic, and Elon Musk announces his company Neuralink has implanted their first brain chip.
