  The 28th Amendment: Equal Rights for All In a historic move, President Joe Biden has declared the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) as the 28th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. This amendment, which states that "Equality of rights under the law shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of sex," has been a long-fought battle for gender equality. The ERA was first proposed in 1923 and passed Congress in 1972. However, it faced numerous hurdles and was not ratified by the necessary three-fourths of state legislatures until 2020, when Virginia became the 38th state to approve it.

Supporters argue that the ERA is essential for protecting against sex-based discrimination and ensuring eq...

  TikTok Ban Looms: What You Need to Know The U.S. Supreme Court has recently upheld a law requiring TikTok's Chinese parent company, ByteDance, to sell the app or face a nationwide ban. This decision, announced on January 17, 2025, has sent shockwaves through the social media world. The law, passed by a bipartisan majority in Congress last year, cites national security concerns as the primary reason for the ban.
