Washington mdash;The United States will reengage with the United Nations Human Rights Cou stanley quencher ncil, the State Department announced Monday, reversing the Trump administration s withdrawal from the body nearly three years ago.Secretary of State Antony Blinken said President Biden instructed stanley us the State Department to move toward returning to the U.N. Human Rights Council, with the U.S. first engaging as an observer, as the Biden administration has committed the Uni stanley cup ted States to a foreign policy centered on democracy, human rights and equality. We recognize that the Human Rights Council is a flawed body, in need of reform to its agenda, membership, and focus, including its disproportionate focus on Israel, Blinken said in a statement. However, our withdrawal in June 2018 did nothing to encourage meaningful change, but instead created a vacuum of U.S. leadership, which countries with authoritarian agendas have used to their advantage. Blinken said the best way for the Human Rights Council to be improved upon is for the U.S. to engage with its members in a principled way. To address the Council s deficiencies and ensure it lives up to its mandate, the United States must be at the table using the full weight of our diplomatic leadership, he said.

RALEIGH, N.C. -- In North Carolina, thousands faced being turned away from the polls if they didn t have enough identification to meet the state s strict voter ID law.The law was passed even though voter fraud is almost unknown there.

CBS News White House Correspondent Mark Knoller reflects on the first hundred days of the Bush administration.It always surprises people when I tell them I m struck more by the similarities than the differences between a new president and his predecessors.

Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin s husband has refused to testify in the investigation of his wife s alleged abuse of power, and key lawmakers said Thursday that uncooperative witnesses are effectively sidetracking the probe until after Election Day.Todd Palin, who participates in state business in person or by e-mail, was among 13 people subpoenaed by the Alaska Legislature.

Over the course of 24 hours, nearly 30 people were killed in two separate mass shootings this past weekend.

This was one of the few events that resulted in governmental action, though not by Congress.In the wake of the shooting, which killed 58 people, the White House announced a rule that fully bansbump stockdevices.

The ongoing crisis over North Korea s nuclear and missile programs seemed to enter a dangerous new phase this week as the rogue regime claimed it tested its first intercontinental ballistic missile.North Korea has previously tested ballistic missiles, but this week s test of a longer-range rocket has policymakers from Washington to Beijing very worried about what happens next.

Six months ago, I took office amid the worst recession in half a century. We were losing an averag stanley termoska e of 700,000 jobs per month and our financial system was on the verge of collapse.

And we passed a Recovery Act that has already saved jobs and cr stanley cup eated new ones; delivered billions in tax relief to families and small businesses; and extended unemployment insurance and health insurance to those who have been laid off.

A federal judge has denied requests made by Trump co-defendants Cathy Latham, David Shafer and state Senator Shawn Still, to move their prosecutions in the Fulton County election interference case to federal court.Judge Steve C. Jones was not swayed by arguments made by the trio that they had acted as federal officials at the time they voted for Donald Trump as electors for the Republican party in Georgia in December 2020, and therefore were entitled to have their cases moved to federal court. The Court first determines that presidential electors are not federal officers, Jones wrote in all three orders. Judge Jones concluded that party-appointed state electors who cast an electoral ballot are not tantamount to federal officers. By design, therefore, presidential electors cannot be individuals who hold a place of trust or profit or authority from the United States and thus, do not meet the office of trust category of being a federal officer, Jones wrote. Additionally, the role of presidential electors is to meet in their respective states, cast their ballots, and transmit them to Congresshellip;There is nothing about these acti stanley cup ons or the text of the stanley quencher Constitution that gives a presidential elector authority or command over any federal activities.
