What A Day - Voters Could Protect Abortion Rights In Michigan

Michigan has a 1931 law on the books that criminalizes abortion. That law has not been enforced since 1973 when Roe v Wade was decided, but it hasn’t been repealed either. And so it would take effect again should Roe be overturned because the state’s GOP-controlled legislature said they don’t plan to revoke it. We talk with Kelly Hall of The Fairness Project, which is gathering signatures to put a referendum on the ballot this fall to bypass the legislature and take the matter directly to voters. If they approve it, the measure would amend the state’s constitution to make reproductive freedom a right.

And in headlines: Vladimir Putin doesn’t declare victory on Russia’s Victory Day, Ferdinand Marcos Jr. is projected to be the next president of the Philippines, and President Biden announced a plan to subsidize broadband Internet for low-income homes.

The Daily Signal - Hidden Cameras Uncover How Schools Find Ways to Teach Critical Race Theory

Even if your state or county has banned the teaching of critical race theory in schools, it might still be being taught. 

Using hidden cameras, Accuracy in Media launched a series of investigations into school districts across the country that are still finding a way to teach students a curriculum that includes CRT. 

Adam Guillette, president of Accuracy in Media, joins "The Daily Signal Podcast" to explain what his organization has discovered. Also joining the show to talk about education solutions is Jonathan Butcher, The Heritage Foundation’s Will Skillman fellow in education.  (The Daily Signal is Heritage's multimedia news organization.)

We also cover these stories:

  • Authorities investigate a fire caused by a Molotov cocktail attack on a pro-life organization in Wisconsin.
  • Pro-abortion protesters gather outside the homes of Supreme Court justices.
  • Florida’s public high schools will observe a “Victims of Communism Day.”

What Next | Daily News and Analysis - Ukrainian War, American Intelligence

It’s not unusual for the U.S. to lend intelligence to another country. It’s a little more unusual for the U.S. to talk about it. 


Why is the American military confirming reports that it’s helping Ukraine vanquish Russian targets? Could that candidness lead to an expansion of the war? Or will it be the deciding factor in finishing the conflict?


Guest: Shane Harris, reporter covering intelligence and national security for the Washington Post.
