The proposed legislation has no chance of becoming law anytime soon. Instead, Graham is seeking to politically insulate Republicans from voter backlash before midterm elections in which abortion rights have become a potent issue. Graham’s effort is part of a wider effort by some Republican leaders to unite around a single strategy in the aftermath of the Supreme Court’s overturning of Roe v. Wade. Still, the bill risks angering the more conservative wing of the party who want stricter limits, while potentially allowing Democrats to paint Republicans as extremists.

Before acceding to the throne, King Charles III turned his royal estate into a billion-dollar portfolio.

With a large team of professional managers, he increased his portfolio’s value by about 50 percent, to roughly $1.4 billion, over the last decade. The late queen’s private portfolio is worth about $949 million, but both are just a fraction of the royal family’s estimated $28 billion fortune. On top of that, the family has personal wealth that remains a closely guarded secret. Charles ascends to the throne as the country buckles under a cost-of-living crisis. A more divisive figure than his mother, King Charles is likely to give fresh energy to those questioning the relevance of the royal family.

Godard, a Franco-Swiss filmmaker, changed the course of filmmaking in the 1960s.
