Children and teens would lose access to apps if they don't have parental consent and face other restrictions.
House Republicans have narrowly passed legislation that would fulfill a campaign promise to give parents a role in what’s taught in public schools.

The Senate Ethics Committee is admonishing South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham for soliciting campaign contributions inside a federal building after a November 2022 Fox News interview in which he asked viewers to donate to a GOP candidate. Because Graham was in a Senate office building when he did the interview, the leaders of the ethics panel said, he violated Senate rules and standards of conduct. Coons and Lankford wrote that Graham solicited campaign contributions for Georgia Senate candidate Herschel Walker’s campaign committee “five separate times” during the interview. It is unclear if Graham could face any criminal penalties. He says he "will try to do better in the future.”
A three-day strike by workers in the Los Angeles Unified School District has wrapped up.

Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass stepped in as mediator on Wednesday.
