Supreme Court Overturns Roe v. Wade: What It Means For CT
242 Politics & Government The court ruled 6-3 to overturn the precedent set by Roe v. Wade. Here is what it means for abortion access in Connecticut. Rich Scinto , Patch Staff Posted | Updated Replies CONNECTICUT — The U.S. Supreme Court ruled 6-to-3 to overturn the precedent set by Roe v. Wade, which will lead to a number of states making it nearly impossible for women to have abortions. The decision will leave abortion laws up to states to decide. Although the ruling on the Dobbs case was 6-3, the decision to strike down Roe and Casey was 5-4, with Chief Justice John Roberts writing a concurring opinion that said overturning the landmark statute went too far. Connecticut has a 32-year-old law on the books that reinforces the right to an abortion. Gov. Ned Lamont also signed a bill into law this year that expands access to abortion in the state. It allows physician assistants and advanced practice … [Read more...] about Supreme Court Overturns Roe v. Wade: What It Means For CT

How 4 Senators Finally Got Gun Control Done
Senators Kyrsten Sinema, Tom Tillis, Chris Murphy, and John Cornyn were key to getting the bill negotiated and past key hurdles. Photo-Illustration: Intelligencer; Photos: Getty Images The scene in downtown Houston threatened to topple the delicate work that had put the U.S. Senate on the cusp of passing the country’s most important gun bill in three decades. Texas senator John Cornyn was walking onto the stage at the state Republican Party’s convention last Friday, and the dark, red-lit room was turning hostile, filling with boos and furious chants of “Say no to Cornyn!” The conservative had been leading the GOP’s negotiations on a round of gun-control proposals following the mass killings in Uvalde and Buffalo that had surprisingly coalesced in a viable framework rather than following the usual pattern of collapsing into failure. Still, the whole endeavor was delicate. Cornyn had been quietly meeting with his Republican colleague Thom Tillis of North Carolina and … [Read more...] about How 4 Senators Finally Got Gun Control Done
Almost as contagious as measles: COVID spins out worrisome new mutations
The relentless evolution of the coronavirus, which has spawned new variants to fuel fresh surges of disease every four to six months, could in the not-distant future propel the virus to overtake measles as the most contagious of all known infections. Increasing infectiousness does not necessarily make the virus deadlier, but it could make it harder to control, and leave communities vulnerable to the repeated waves of illness that have defined the pandemic. The variants now dominating around the world may be five to 10 times more infectious than the original virus that sparked the pandemic in China in late 2019, health experts believe. Lately each variant has outpaced its parent — omicron, with its massive evolutionary jump, was about three times more infectious than delta. Its subvariants — BA.2 and BA.2.12.1, which are driving the latest surge in the Bay Area — are each more infectious still, by 20% to 30%. The basic reproduction value — a number meant to represent how many … [Read more...] about Almost as contagious as measles: COVID spins out worrisome new mutations

Adley Rutschman Leads Orioles Past Hobbled White Sox 4-0
CHICAGO (AP) — Touted rookie Adley Rutschman homered, doubled and drove in three runs to lead the Baltimore Orioles past the banged-up Chicago White Sox 4-0 on Thursday night. Ryan Mountcastle had two doubles among his three hits as the Orioles won their second in a row and third in four. Dean Kremer tossed 5 2/3 scoreless innings before three relievers finished off a nine-hit shutout backed by several nifty catches from Baltimore outfielders. READ MORE: Maryland Weather: A Beautiful Friday Ahead Of What Should Be A Beautiful Weekend The switch-hitting Rutschman entered batting just .211 with one homer and four RBIs, but the 24-year-old catcher is hitting .341 (14 for 41) in his last 12 games. “He’s really talented and there’s always an adjustment period in the big leagues,” Baltimore manager Brandon Hyde said. “But he’s got big-time tools and a ton of ability and you saw the power tonight.” Rutschman, the No. 1 overall pick in 2019 out of Oregon State, said he’s taking a … [Read more...] about Adley Rutschman Leads Orioles Past Hobbled White Sox 4-0
Panel Finds Daniel Snyder Interfered With Sexual Harassment Investigation
As the N.F.L. was investigating his team for widespread workplace misconduct, the Washington Commanders owner Daniel Snyder directed a “shadow investigation” to interfere with and undermine its findings, a Congressional committee found. At Snyder’s behest, the committee said, his legal team used private investigators to harass and intimidate witnesses, and created a 100-page dossier targeting victims, witnesses and journalists who had shared “credible public accusations of harassment” against the team. The House Committee on Oversight and Reform released a 29-page memo on Wednesday that detailed the findings of its eight-month inquiry into how the Commanders and the N.F.L. handled claims of rampant sexual harassment of the team’s female employees. The report was released ahead of Wednesday’s hearing, where the league’s commissioner, Roger Goodell, appeared remotely. Snyder declined two requests to appear, citing a “longstanding business conflict.” At Wednesday’s hearing, … [Read more...] about Panel Finds Daniel Snyder Interfered With Sexual Harassment Investigation
