Brisbane, Australia CNN  —  The man vying to become Australia’s next prime minister has spent weeks trying to distance himself from comparisons to US President Donald Trump. “I’m my own person,” opposition Liberal Party leader Peter Dutton insisted, when asked for his thoughts on “Temu Trump,” the label given to him by critics referring to the Chinese website with a reputation for cheap copies. Political analysts say comparisons to Trump have eaten away at any lead Dutton had over incumbent center-left Labor Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, who is topping opinion polls before Saturday’s vote. Ex-police officer Dutton became opposition leader…

CNN  —  Twenty-seven states have passed bans on gender-affirming health care for transgender children and teenagers, according to a CNN analysis of data from the Movement Advancement Project, a nonprofit think tank that advocates for LGBTQ rights. An estimated 40% of transgender youth ages 13 to 17 live in these states, according to MAP and The Williams Institute. These laws are in the spotlight after the US Supreme Court heard oral arguments late last year in a case that challenges Tennessee’s ban on transgender care for minors. Gender-affirming care includes medically necessary, evidence-based care that uses a multidisciplinary approach to…

It is unclear what the…

Warren, Michigan CNN  —  On the 100th day, he rallied. Crossing the symbolic barrier between the first 100 days of his presidency and the 1,361 that remain, Trump basked in adulation from a supportive crowd and declared that he had just completed the “the most successful first 100 days of any administration in the history of our country.” He waxed nostalgic about his last act with familiar grievances and hyperbolic claims, and seized the moment to set a course for the next one. Yet the events of the day only illustrated that for all the action he’s taken so far,…

CNN  —  Ever since the government-changing administration of Franklin D. Roosevelt, a president’s first 100 days in office have been viewed as a sprint to see how much they can get done in the honeymoon period after Inauguration Day. At the start of his second term, President Donald Trump has embraced an effort to dismantle the administrative state that Roosevelt helped create more than 90 years ago. Working with Elon Musk to shrink government as significantly and as quickly as possible, Trump has moved to cut international and scientific research funding and fired federal workers. His rat-a-tat executive orders and…

CNN  —  The Supreme Court’s conservative majority on Wednesday seemed open to backing the creation of a Catholic charter school in Oklahoma, a decision that would expand the availability of taxpayer money for religious education in school systems across the nation. During more than two hours of at times feisty arguments in one of the year’s most closely watched cases, the court’s conservative justices pressed an attorney opposed to the creation of St. Isidore of Seville Catholic Virtual School about how his position could be squared with a series of recent precedents that have eroded the proverbial wall that for…

New York CNN  —  The US economy is contracting faster than expected. Is it a recession? Maybe. For a variety of reasons, we can’t start bandying the R-word around just yet. But what we can do is step back, look at the data, and — in my very technical analysis — run a vibe check. The upshot: It feels like we’ve got a lot of recession energy. On Wednesday, government data showed economic growth contracting for the first time in three years. Gross domestic product, which measures all the goods and services produced in the economy, fell in the first…
