Shalini Dore Features News Editor As with so many other organizations these past couple of years, the Will Rogers Motion Picture Pioneers Foundation had been unable to meet in person. But on Wednesday, the charity, which provides assistance to theater workers, gathered at the Beverly Hilton to honor producers Barbara Broccoli and Michael G. Wilson as pioneers of the year.

They see a problem and march right in.”

The US Senate is delaying its vote on legislation that will protect same-sex marriage until after the November mid-term elections. This is to allow Republicans some political breathing room to support the bill without offending their support bases.Leading Democratic negotiator on the bill, Senator Tammy Baldwin is confident that the bill will pass if Republicans are given time.“We’re very confident that the bill will pass, but we will need a little more time,” she told CNN.The decision to delay the vote comes after many weeks spent in bipartisan negotiations as a small group of senators had tried to reassure any concerns Republican senators had as a way to gain their support on the bill.The Respect for Marriage Act seeks to codify same-sex and interracial marriages whilst repealing the Defense of Marriage Act, which only recognises marriage in the US between a man and a woman.Senator Susan Collins has stated that the amendment would “make it clear” that the bill will not “legalise polyamorous marriages” or force churches to perform “same-sex marriages.”“I think we’re in very good shape, very good shape.

appeal to his socially conservative base and grab headlines.In a now-viral clip that made the rounds on Twitter, Cruz mocked the idea of giving relief to those who chose to pursue higher education. He argued that working Americans, including many who never attended college, will have to bear the cost of bailing out those who haven’t managed to pay off their own student loans.Under the plan, the Biden administration is expected to cancel up to $20,000 in student debt for Pell Grant recipients, and up to $10,000 for other individuals, who make less than $125,000 per year or $250,000 per year for married couples.The administration claims this will help low- and middle-income Americans who are saddled with student debt, which has been exacerbated by the rising cost of education, reports Newsweek.Cruz initially criticized Biden’s plan on his Verdict with Ted Cruz podcast, stating, “If you are that slacker barista who wasted seven years in college studying completely useless things, now has loans and can’t get a job, Joe Biden just gave you 20 grand.”He also implied that the policy was an effort by Biden to boost Democrats’ chances in the upcoming midterm elections by ginning up youth turnout.
