The Supreme Court confirms the document leaked last night is authentic but is careful to note no decision is final until it's officially issued. But the 98 pages written by Justice Alito clearly lay out how the Conservative majority plans to overturn 50 years of legal precedent. He says the Constitution makes no reference to abortion and no such right is implicitly protected by any Constitutional provision. The news prompts an enormous and visceral reaction outside the court. President Biden says such a decision would be "radical" and that a woman's right to have an abortion is "fundamental." Our in-depth coverage begins with CNN White House correspondent Jeremy Diamond.

A top Russian commander makes it clear that full control of Ukraine's south -- a 600-mile swath of strategic land along Ukraine's southern coast -- is also part of the Kremlin's invasion plan.

A source tells CNN that Senator Joe Manchin has been privately suggesting to his colleagues that $1.5 trillion is the price tag he could accept in the Democrats’ reconciliation bill.

The Taliban has formed a new caretaker government in Afghanistan, but President Biden says reconizing it diplomatically is ‘a long way off’. The Secretary of State Antony Blinken is relying on assurances from former enemies that it's bureaucracy, not a hostage drama delaying flights for Americans waiting to get out of Afghanistan. The Taliban says Americans with travel documents can leave the country.

Texas abortion law raises fervor on both sides of the political divide. Other Red States could follow Texas’ lead on abortion, with Florida Governor Ron DeSantis saying he will ‘look more significantly’ at an abortion ban after the Texas law takes effect.

With his approval ratings sinking, President Biden heads into the fall facing headwinds and multiple crises including the infrastructure bill, the Afghanistan exit, and the hurricane Ida disaster response.

President Biden said there was "no consensus" in intelligence reports on Afghanistan when he claimed in June it was "highly unlikely" the Taliban would take over the country after U.S. forces departed, later saying that it had happened much quicker than he anticipated. The President maintains there is nothing he would change about the American withdrawal from Afghanistan.

The Pentagon today admits the evacuation effort in Afghanistan is not going fast enough. They are to open up one gate at Hamid Karzai airport which the U.S. Military will oversee and also rush U.S. Consular Officers to the airport to process the Afghans’ paperwork to get them onto flights.

Along with 45 of her Senate Colleagues, Senator Hirono has signed onto a bipartisan letter urging the Biden Administration to protect Afghan women leaders in the wake of the Taliban takeover in Afghanistan.

The Pentagon attempts to speed up evacuations for as many as 10,000 Americans still in Afghanistan, with the aim to airlift 5,000 to 7,000 passengers out per day. The Pentagon revealed in a briefing a short time ago they are in regular communication with the Taliban. Today the Taliban promised amnesty to Government workers and said they would not victimize women, as old fears of brutal rule, especially for women have roared back to life.

In a bid for international legitimacy, the Taliban are trying to convince the United States and the rest of the World that they will abide by international norms including respect for women's rights, protecting women, and the Afghans who worked with the Afghan forces against them. What behaviours could be expected from the Taliban in the future?

The Government is poised to recommend a coronavirus vaccination booster shot once the FDA reviews the available preliminary efficacy data. Millions of Americans could be eligible for a third shot as early as next month.

Afghanistan has fallen to the Taliban. The chaos in Kabul is now part of a worst-case scenario, one that ended with The Mujahideen inside The Presidential Palace in Kabul, chanting "death to America."
