Abortion Rights: One of the most stark splits in the election was how many people voted against abortion restrictions but seemingly for Trump. Trump won, but so did seven ballot measures protecting abortion rights. Florida’s abortion rights measure lost with 57% of the vote. There was a 60% threshold. That’s how minority rule works, folks.

In Israel’s hard-line government, the most right-wing in the country’s history, Gallant was less hawkish than some of his fellow ministers.

+ Shohei Can You See: The World Series drew a massive audience in Japan.

And more and more satellites are being sent into orbit.” The first satellite made of wood, yes, wood, made it to space.
