The governor also said he's hopeful the Pfizer vaccine will get emergency use authorization for...
AUSTIN, Texas - A federal judge on Wednesday ordered Texas to suspend the most restrictive abortion law in the U.S., which since September has banned most abortions in the nation's second-most populous state.

In the weeks since the restrictions took effect, Texas abortion providers say the impact has been "exactly what we...

Students bring their lunch trays and lunchboxes to picnic tables, where they sit a few feet apart. The goal is to reduce the potential spread of COVID-19 among students, all too young to be vaccinated, particularly during mealtimes when students have their masks off. And it seems to be working: Only three children have had to quarantine because of potential COVID...

When President Joe Biden nominated me to be the U.S. Secretary of the Interior, I felt the profound importance of what that moment meant for Indigenous peoples in our country. I knew then, as I still feel now, that we’re at the beginning of a new era where Indigenous knowledge in our work to combat systemic inequities and craft policies to ensure fairness and a bright future for everyone is valued and prioritized. Representation matters. When people whose communities have long been underrepresented and oppressed are at the decision-making t...
