The US Education Department has moved to reverse the Biden administration's interpretation of Title IX, the federal law barring sex discrimination in education. The rollback affects how schools and colleges nationwide handle sex discrimination complaints, and it is drawing attention from educators, students and advocacy groups on both sides of the policy debate. Details of the new guidance and its practical effects for institutions remain limited.

Advocacy group Transportation For America is pressing Congress to act on the rising number of pedestrian deaths on US roads. The group is asking what lawmakers should do to stop what it calls a scourge of pedestrian fatalities, keeping pressure on federal transportation policy debates.
