The number of Americans voluntarily working part-time has reached a record high, with women, particularly mothers, benefiting from the rise in flexible work arrangements. Many businesses have accepted worker demands for part-time positions, resulting in more women entering the labor force. A record share of women aged 25-54 are now participating in the workforce, with the rate among women with a child under five surging to nearly 70% in March. While lack of accessible and affordable childcare remains a barrier, the influx of women into the workforce is promising for an economy facing labor shortages. The pandemic has also raised awareness about the benefits of part-time work and family leave. However, research shows that part-time work does not necessarily lead to gender equity in the labor force. Part-time work arrangements can be a useful tool for companies during uncertain economic times. The rise in part-time work has also led to the emergence of companies like Bus Stop Mamas, which helps stay-at-home mothers reenter the workforce on a part-time basis.

A new report has shown that the UK has dropped out of the top 10 countries for good governance under Rishi Sunak's leadership. Weak leadership, poor economic management, and Brexit have dragged Britain down in the global index on good government. The Chandler Global Index for Good Government (CGGI) ranked the UK in 11th place, with scores for "leadership and foresight" placing it in 20th place. The UK also ranked 27th in financial stewardship. Despite Brexit, the UK's reputation and global influence were boosted, coming second in the category, only beaten by France. However, Brexit negatively impacted the UK's international trade score, dropping it by 26 places. Labour has used these findings to criticise the Tories and Rishi Sunak's leadership. Downing Street, on the other hand, questioned the findings, describing them as “strange” and “lacking in evidence”.

As the nation marks the 70th anniversary of the landmark Brown v. Board of Education ruling, which aimed to end "separate but equal" education, challenges to school integration persist. Despite advancements, many U.S. school districts today are still segregated along residential and economic lines. Gary Orfield from UCLA's Civil Rights Project highlights that more students now attend "intensely segregated" schools than they did 30 years ago. This regression often follows the discontinuation of court-ordered desegregation plans, as seen in the Supreme Court's 1991 ruling in Board of Education of Oklahoma City v. Dowell. The resistance to integration has historical roots and continues today, often undermining efforts to maintain diverse educational environments. This enduring segregation raises questions about the effectiveness and longevity of integration efforts, amidst historical and ongoing resistance to desegregating schools.

The IRS has reaffirmed its commitment to supporting child support payments to states and Native American Tribes. Contrary to reports, there have been no changes to the access of federal tax payment offsets for Native American Tribes. The IRS is working with Congress to provide additional flexibilities for states and Tribes and is open to considering extensions for compliance with new guidelines. The agency says that the relationship between Indian tribal governments and state child support agencies remains unaffected. The IRS has requested child support agencies to submit plans for mitigating contractor access to tax information by October 1st 2024, but no final decisions have been made, and the agency is open to potentially extending the deadline. The IRS emphasizes its commitment to minimizing burden on states and Tribes. The Treasury Department's Green Book proposal and pending legislation in Congress aim to address concerns for Indian Tribal governments.

Social media posts sent to MSPs are often so abusive and threatening that they are passed to Police Scotland. A pilot programme established by the Scottish Parliament in the aftermath of the murder of the MP Sir David Amess, which involved 38 of the 129 parliamentarians at Holyrood, identified 461 potentially criminal comments over ten months. On average, each MSP who took part in the trial received 12 abusive posts which were reported to police in less than a year. Although there were no direct threats during the trial period, abuse usually centred around protected characteristics such as gender, sexual orientation and race. In total, 8,000 comments were deemed to be abusive, with 461 of them determined to rise above the criminal threshold. The vast majority - 6,621 - were directed towards members of the SNP, while 592 were directed at Scottish Tory MSPs, 501 towards the Scottish Greens, 282 for Labour and 114 for the Lib Dems.

Big Law firms and their political action committees (PACs) are channeling more funds to Republican candidates in the 2024 elections, while overall spending on political campaigns has decreased compared to previous cycles. According to data from the Federal Election Commission analyzed by The American Lawyer, about 35 Am Law 200 firms and firm PACs have contributed approximately $513,530 to congressional races so far this year, a decrease from nearly $1m in 2022 and about $700,000 in 2020. Notably, Republicans have received $268,025 so far, surpassing the $231,863 donated to Democrats. This shift marks a significant change from the 2022 and 2020 cycles when Democrats received the majority of contributions from Big Law. Contributions are spread across parties, with some firms like Nelson Mullins Riley & Scarborough and Arnold & Porter Kaye Scholer donating equally to both major party committees. However, Hunton Andrews Kurth has shown a strong preference for Republican candidates in its early 2024 donations. The most substantial individual recipient has been Republican House Speaker Mike Johnson of Louisiana, who has received $42,500 from Big Law sources. K&L Gates’ PAC is currently the top spender, contributing over $60,000 to various campaigns and PACs.
