House Speaker Mike Johnson has denied a request for the late Rev. Jesse Jackson Sr. to lie in honor at the United States Capitol, citing past precedent over how the deaths of other high-profile figures were handled, according to sources familiar with the matter. Jackson was praised by both Republicans and Democrats alike for his decades of activism and work in politics and international affairs. But civilians or non-government officials have lain in honor in the US Capitol in the past, including civil rights hero Rosa Parks in 2005 and evangelical pastor Rev. Jackson’s family has announced that next week, he will lie in repose at Rainbow PUSH headquarters in Chicago.

She was struck by the number of clients spun through the system countless times without getting treatment for addiction or mental illness. In their research, they came upon a tool that could address chronic severe mental illness and addiction, and it was hiding in plain sight: in a book of California statutes, namely Section 5200 of the California Welfare and Institutions Code. It detailed the frustrations of families, outreach workers and first responders and concluded that 5200 could help break down some of the bureaucratic barriers to life-changing mental health care. Despite some progress, homelessness is still a public catastrophe, and gravely ill people are a haunting representation of policy failures. Supporters of 5200 include Bay Area resident Teresa Pasquini, a mental health reform advocate whose brother and son have both dealt with severe mental illness.

A majority of these shares are from women — many from immigrant and marginalized backgrounds — sharing their own firsts. In the United States alone, we’ve witnessed a year-long increasing assault on the rights of women — especially women of color. In what seems to be a time of hopelessness for women’s advancement, these “first in my bloodline” posts feel like a beacon of hope, evidence of progress, and a form of resistance. “I can’t wait to do the ‘first in the bloodline trend’ someday,” one woman wrote. While there are cynics in the comments (as there are in all X posts nowadays), they are outnumbered by the women determined to accomplish firsts of their own.

I don’t think that structure, that drive towards efficiency and structure is something that interests him. And the way things bubble up to him is more associative and precise than it would have been at another time? I don’t think there are many questions that make it to Trump that Trump doesn’t think are easy to answer. Bill Pulte, who runs the Federal Housing Finance organization, I don’t know the proper name for it, will come into the Oval Office with posterboards. I don’t think Trump has the same level of understanding of the Big Beautiful Bill.

AdvertisementLevings, author of the New York Times bestseller “A Well-Trained Wife: My Escape From Christian Patriarchy,” describes MAGA Christianity as the overlap between authoritarian Christianity and Christian nationalism. Levings calls it a malformation of the word “Christianity,” since Jesus was neither nationalist nor authoritarian. “Some people identify as MAGA because they have been taught that hyper-individualism, nationalism and white supremacy are the same as Christianity — and I think this is tragic.

President Trump ’s new plan for tariffs puts his trade agenda on a collision course with the midterm campaign season. Some of the new tariffs Trump wants to impose require congressional approval to extend beyond five months. In a sign of growing anxiety toward his tariffs, six GOP lawmakers voted with Democrats last week in an attempt to rein in Trump’s tariff powers in the House of Representatives. But on Friday, the Supreme Court ruled that Trump’s use of Ieepa for tariffs is illegal, undermining his chosen tool of economic leverage. There is much less certainty for U.S. businesses that have paid about $130 billion in Ieepa tariffs.
