abcnews.go.com/Politics/biden-expands-title-ix-protections-pregnancy-trans-people/story
Quick Glance: Biden Administration Expands Title IX Protection for LGBTQ Students, Assault Victims
- The Biden administration released rules that protect the rights of LGBTQ students and change how schools can respond to allegations of sexual assault and misconduct.
- The Education Department updated Title IX, the 1972 law prohibiting sex discrimination in school programs, with the changes set to take effect on August 1.
- The new rules eliminate in-person court-like proceedings for sexual assault allegations, broaden the definition of sexual harassment, and officially expand Title IX interpretation to cover pregnant, gay, and transgender students.
- These changes have sparked mixed reviews and controversy, with supporters praising the increased safety for students while critics argue that the new regulations infringe on due process rights and expressive freedoms.

Supreme Court Appears Skeptical of Using Obstruction Law to Charge Jan. 6 Rioters
nytimes.com/2024/04/16/us/supreme-court-jan-6-trump.html
Quick Glance: Justices Question Obstruction Charge Against Jan. 6 Rioter
- The Supreme Court is considering whether Jan. 6 rioters can be charged with obstructing an official proceeding, potentially impacting Trump's election interference case.
- During Tuesday's hearing, justices expressed concerns about the Justice Department's use of the obstruction statute to prosecute those involved in the Jan. 6 Capitol attack.
- A potential consequence of a ruling in favor of Fischer could affect Trump, although this outcome is not definitive. Prosecutors in Trump's case have emphasized that even if Fischer succeeds, Trump's actions would still be governed by a more restrictive interpretation of the law.
- The provision was enacted in 2002 as part of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, passed after the Enron accounting scandal. Both Fischer and Trump argue that the obstruction law does not apply to their alleged conduct, meaning the charges should be dropped.

Quick Glance: Israeli Military Intelligence Chief Resigns Over Hamas Attack Failures
- The head of Israeli military intelligence resigned due to the failures surrounding Hamas’ unprecedented attack on October 7, marking the first senior resignation in Israel's history.
- Maj. Gen. Aharon Haliva’s resignation could trigger additional resignations among Israel’s top security officials in response to the Hamas attack that initiated the Gaza war.
- Haliva, alongside other military and security leaders, were expected to address the evident failures leading up to and during October 7.
- Israel and its esteemed security forces were caught entirely off guard by the Hamas attack on a Jewish holiday, shattering trust in the military. The resignation may contribute to rebuilding some of this trust.
