 Senate adopts resolution requiring men to wear business attire on chamber floor https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2023/09/27/senate-dress-code-change/?utm_campaign=wp_todays_headlines&utm_medium=email&utm_source=newsletter&wpisrc=nl_headlines

"Notably, the resolution makes no reference to what female senators are expected to wear."

How can the Senate in 2023 pass a resolution that does not acknowledge the existence of women in the Senate?

 Abortion access on the line in Florida before DeSantis-heavy Supreme Court https://www.tallahassee.com/story/news/2023/09/07/florida-abortion-access-on-the-line-supreme-court-weighs-ban-privacy/70769194007/

Florida's Constitution contains an explicit right to privacy, and the Florida Supreme Court has repeatedly held that the Fl Const protects the right to abortion.

Unfortunately, Florida's Supreme Court has gotten very conservative, and tomorrow will hear arguments on Florida's 15 week ban.

The Fl S.Ct. is expected to uphold it, paving the way for a 6 week ban
